I had decided in a two week stay in Malaga capital and when booking my living quarters I figured it could be nice to find a different one for each week, in different areas as well as different types of housing.
My first week was with Rosario and her family, and oh my did I regret not having booked their place for both weeks...
For what I needed their home was perfect! In the absolute best area of Malaga capital. The apartment is small but extremely comfortable and surprisingly practical, I cannot say I was missing a single thing. It is located a 30 second stroll from the beach with its restaurant-filled boardwalk consisting of a healthy balance of locals and tourists with an extremely good vibe. In the opposite direction you walk 3 minutes to catch the bus that takes you to the historic center of Malaga in 8 minutes. And yet the best part of my stay was my hosts helping me with whatever stupidity I needed, whenever I needed it!
I'm writing this as I'm sitting in an twice as an expensive apartment where nothing works, located in a pretentious area where you can't get anywhere unless you have a car, or you're training for a triatlón...
