Great Views of the Sea, Horn of Africa, Blue Skies

Malaga is the flocking place for Europeans. So many from so many different countries. But there is not that overly young and confused crowd that you find in Benidorm or Ibiza. What it has are well established grounded individuals who fell in love with the place and decided to stay. Driving down the coast N-340 you see so much of the ocean that you will feel like stopping the car and taking a walk along the beach. Malaga is also close to so many of the great sites such as Marbella, Ronda, Grenada, Sevilla. You cannot miss this opportunity. Go to
http://homepage.hispeed.ch/Fred_Desrosiers/ So many, Great Views, Walking on the beach. I remmembered going to a Restarant in November on the beach and ondering Sangria and Prawns. The amount they gave to me was so much and so good that I went back again. You cannot find this in nothern Eurorpe. Go to the beach in December is also possible.
Learning the Lingo

Please don't confuse Malaga with the other 'British' holiday resorts along the Costa del Sol, Malaga is typically Spanish - you will not find a restaurant in the centre cooking 'Full English Breakfast' and unless you know some Spanish you will need to take a good phrasebook with you and swat up on the plane beforehand - just a few basic phrases will do!!

Not really my favourite...
by A2002
Not really my favourite restaurant. But I went there when I was there and it was ok. VIPS near the Estación de Autobuses. Rice and chicken in special sauce. Taste a little bit like chinese 'gong bao chicken' without the chillies.
