This past May 1st we took the opportunity to explore the south of Spain for a change. This time our travels took us to Malaga.
Traveling can be cheap, but with added bonuses of course. What I mean are the cockroaches – yes those little critters that we all love – that rode with us from Madrid to Malaga on the bus we took. Constant thumping was heard, and a few shrieks as well, but at the end we made peace with the critters and continued on our way to the south of Spain.
It is often said that arriving somewhere early is convenient, but not when you get there at 5 a.m. after a crazy bus ride by the driver.
It was cold and empty. We tried to sleep at a mall and were told not to. We contacted our Airbnb host prior and said he would let us in at 6 a.m., but he fell asleep and did not respond for three hours. Ok, it sounds like the trip started on the wrong foot, but it got better – trust me.
The weather was a blessing, with beautiful skies and a warm beach sun with some sun burn to follow. Ice cream was enjoyed – on several occasions, and we visited the famous Alcazaba and Gibralfaro. The views were great but the hike to the Gibralfaro was exhausting – too much ice cream I know.
At the end, Malaga was what Andalucía offers to the rest of Spain – a break from the stress of life.
