The four weeks that we have just spent in Jose Mario's flat in El Palo, Malaga were perfect! It is a light, spacious, comfortable, modern flat with a large, sunny balcony with pleasant views. The kitchen is fully equipped so staying in and cooking is a pleasure. There is a large, spacious dining/ sitting room with an impressive selection of books, C.D's, t.v. and internet, etc.
Jose was a most attentive host and promptly answered any question that we might need to know and, also,he arranged for our taxi transfers.
The location is very well served by the No.3 bus which runs every 10 minutes and, after midnight, by the N1 late bus service. The bus terminus is a five minute walk from the flat. The journey takes approximately 25 minutes to the center of Malaga and costs 1,30 euros. (Various EMT cards are available that greatly reduce the cost such as the 27 euro card for an unlimited month's travel for students).
El Palo is an excellent location in itself with plenty of local shops and an indoor market which sells fresh fish, meat, fruit and vegetables. The Playa de Pedregalejo is a fifteen minute walk away; it boasts excellent beaches which are ideal for families and a wide selection of fish restaurants. The local sport's center ,ACB Aviva, is well worth joining.
We have no hesitation in recommending Jose, his flat and El Palo as an excellent choice.
