Down Time in Malaga

I was really happy to be in Malaga as it was time for some major down time. Malaga is on the southern coast of Spain with sparkling blue water, sandy beaches, mountains, and a cute, city center. We stayed at the Hotel MS Maestranza which was right by the beach and a short walk to the Old Town.

We didn’t do much in Malaga. Seriously, we stayed in bed ‘til noon every day, worked out, chilled at the beach, shopped, and ate. That was it….and it was perfect. There was a lot to do though if you wanted. The city center is full of great shopping, restaurants, and tapas bars. They even have great food options. Our favorites were Lechuga and Como Loco….both had great salads.

Despite not wanting to see any sights (only because we’re tired), we did make it to the Cathedral, which was really cool – huge and very symmetrical. We also went to the Alcazaba, Malaga’s Moorish, fortress. We even walked up to the top which was painful in 100 degree weather….but at least we got a double workout that day! ☺

I definitely will come back to Malaga some day. It was one of our favorite cities in Spain. Not surprising as it reminded us both of home.
