Jose Mario's modern apartment provided a perfect base for our four week stay in Málaga. The apartment is comfortable with two bedrooms, a bathroom, a large sitting/ dinning room, a well-equipped kitchen and a large, sunny terrace with a pleasant view of El Candado. The terminus for the N3 bus to Málaga is a five minute walk away, a service that runs every ten minutes to the historic centre and which takes about twenty minutes. El Palo is a traditional Spanish neighbourhood with excellent local shops, a traditional market, and a large number of bars of which Viva Maria was our favourite. El Palo and El Pedregalejo both have excellent family beaches and a large selection of traditional fish restaurants. Jose is an excellent host and we are already looking forward to our third visit.
