COSTA DEL SOL

MALAGA CITY

Malaga, a port city which is the capital of Malaga province, and location of the third largest airport in Spain. A much-under-rated city, Malaga has much to offer: fabulous town beaches, Roman remains, the Picasso Museum and Birth House, fine dining, exclusive shopping and a lively and exciting Old Part.

BIRTHDAY OUTING TO FRIGILIANA

Paul Whitelock entered the eighth decade of his life on Tuesday this week. His wife, the “Lovely Rita” was well enough for them to go on holiday after a torrid year battling the Coronavirus. They stayed within the province, and spent a few days in Frigiliana, near Nerja.

ESTEPONA

Estepona was one of the first resorts to be developed along the coast between San Pedro de Alcantara and Tarifa, where the Mediterranean ends and the Atlantic begins. Estepona benefits from fantastic sandy beaches and a lovely yacht harbour, as well as a wide range of shops, bars and restaurants.

NERJA - A LITTLE GEM

The Spanish Fly has been to Nerja, on the Costa del Sol east of Málaga a few times. Despite being overrun with tourists of all nationalities and full of resident “guiris”, The Spanish Fly has always liked Nerja. Here, he explains what the attraction is.

OUR DAY OUT - on the Costa del Sol

We decided to have a day on the coast. We had a few things to buy that you can’t get up here in the mountains and we fancied eating seafood in a chiringuito and spending a bit of time on the beach.
