This is a perfect location beside the beach which you can look at from the balcony any time of day or grab your towel and head for a swim. It is a leisurely 15 min walk to the centre of the city with a few different options through a lovely park. Lots of little cafes and bars around the corner, we particularly liked El Gallo Rojo.
It's great for long walks, we walked to El Palo where there are lovely restaurants on the sea front. It is very quiet and peaceful at night. There is a lot to see and do in Malaga. We really enjoyed the evening tour with wine and tapas. Plenty of good shopping too!
