... through the streets of Malaga
by Malecka
One of the streets that lead you to Plaza de la Merced is Calle Granada. There is a fantastic place offering MARISCOS that will make your mouth water, called La Campana. Now, this street on your way to Plaza de la Merced, takes you to narrow streets with nice shops, gift-shops, jewellery-shops and also the place called “Mac Papas” – huge potatoes, baked and then made according to your choice of fillings. (my fav is “vegetal”)
Frigiliana
by barryg23
Frigiliana is an attractive village in Andalucia, located about 50 km east of Malaga. After hiring a car in Malaga airport, we stopped here for a few hours to break the drive to the Sierra Nevada mountains. The village is easy to reach, at the foot of the Sierra de Tejeda mountains, just a few kilometres in from the motorway, with Nerja the closest big town.
The village was the scene of one of the last battles between Muslims and Christians in the 16th century, an event commemorated in plaques on the walls in the town. The old part of the village is especially pretty, with picturesque winding & narrow streets. This old section is very steep and there are a couple of miradors on the uppermost streets, offering great views of the region and the Mediterranean.
There are also plenty of restaurants and cafes in the village, making it an ideal place to break a journey or for a half-day of sightseeing. The surrounding hills looked a great place to go hiking, though we didn't have time to pursue this, as we had to move on after a few hours.
Oh so cute tiny leather shoes
by Senoritasmile about La Inglesita
This little shop is tucked away in a small street east of Calle Larios. If you're a Mum or an Auntie or a Gran or a Grandad come to think of it! and want to take the wee cherished ones back a wonderful treat then take a peek at the huge range of beautiful, colourful, tiny leather shoes. They're not cheap but the quality is excellent and you just dont see these back in the UK.
Bus Station
by diageva
In Málaga there are two principal Bus Stations.
One is at the historic center, at the entrance of the Port of Málaga, but not all the buses of long distances begin here. Some begin here and have the second stop at the principal bus station. I think nearly all buses that goes to the villages of Malaga, like Fuengirola, Marbella, Ronda, Mijas... and other importants places in Andalucia, like Granada, have their first stop here. I will ask.
The principal is at the center, near the train station. Paseo de los Tilos s/n. Near "El Corte Ingles" and "Eroski" ( to big malls in the town )
They have a good web page.
Sweet stuff to die for

This is a slick, modern cafe, sumptiously decorated to reflect their range of amazing desserts. Drop by for a tea or coffee and something decadent or select from the lunchtime 'menu del dia' and try local ingredients with a creative twist. Friendly, attentive staff, buzzy lunctime vibe, good quality choices.
