Ylenia's and Matthias's apartment was just right for us and our hosts were exceptionally kind, warm and helpful in every way. We had our two eight year old grand children with us and were slightly worried about the distance to the centre, but I had booked it purposefully so that we all got thorough daily walks and were away from the noise generated by bars and restaurants in the late evenings. In the end, everyone enjoyed the walks over the top of the hill with fantastic views and an interesting and superb castle, (returning is harder work than going out - I would recommend returning via the tunnel and La Victoria).
The children enjoyed the quayside, reading up on the size of the boats and where they were going, and the elastic high jumps on trampolines. Malaga buzzed in the evenings in this Holy week and we witnessed fantastic processions that generated much discussion.
