fisherman's houses
by blint
From the road you squeeze down an extremely narrow alleyway passing these quaint little roads to get to the Pedregalejo beach.
They were once cheap downtrodden fisherman's houses but these days are being snapped up at high prices as they aren't like the ugly blocks of flats being sold in the rest of the centre. Many look directly onto the the beach front too.
I really enjoyed passing by them to get to the Paseo Maritimo and with out a doubt think they would be a nice place to live. I have seen other such streets dotted about Malaga. Village streets hidden amongst the concrete jungle.
Definitely one of my favourite things about Malaga.
costa del Sol
by Carmela71
Lovely situated South of Europe, we can not ask more, beautiful weather, landscape, peace and the contrast of the people and the nights full of magic and music.
It is very cosmopolitan and normally english is the second language even if sometimes is the first one. Que voy a decir de la Costa del Sol, que no se haya dicho ya! pero la verdad es que al sur de Europa, frontera con Africa, tiene un privilegiado clima (a escepcion de este año), muy cosmopolita donde el ingles es el segundo idioma, aunque a veces sea el primero, y unas noches que se alargan al dia.
don't miss LAGUNA DE PIEDRA,for its flamencos...
by cbeaujean
go to laguna de piedra...flamencos nursery between mid february and end of june...
with camargue in france,the most important europe colony....don't forget your binoculars!
TWO CHOICES,on the way to the laguna:
1.leave malaga through N331,direction "antequera",a very interesting ancient city which has a lot to offer ,then A92 direction "sevilla",take way out n°132 to fuente de piedra...
2.leave malaga through MA401,direction "cartama" and "alora",to go and see spectacular and impressive CHORRO gargantas (gorges)...avoid the dangerous path (each year,mortal accidents) until they rebuild it....
to reach chorro,go up to alora (nice castle) and once on the top,seeing traffic ligts,turn on the right...after 15km of a spectacular road....

How American. Typical, touristy, and safe
by shutterlust about McDonalds
I hate McDonalds.
However, sometimes it's a relieving sight to see those golden arches in a foreign, unfamiliar city.
Mmm, smell that grease?! My fave dishes?
McChicken (no mayo), chicken nuggets, fries, a hot fudge sundae, apple pies, fruit and yogurt cups and a Coke.
