Train or bus

Today was reserved for two tasks. The first was an easy one: Go to the Chinese store around the corner and get a sports bag to put our hiking poles in for the trip home.

The second was a bit more complicated and is still not resolved: Should we take a train or a bus to the airport tomorrow? The train is appealing because it stops directly at the airport, but it is a bit challenging to get to (Ned tried out the route today), and it was very crowded when we rode it a few days ago - no seats available. The bus has the advantage of being close by, and the disadvantage of not stopping directly at the airport. We would have to cross a divided highway on an elevated walkway and make our way through backstreets (which we know how to do because that’s the way we left the airport when we arrived). So the pros and cons are about equal. We’ll see.

We ended up having plenty of time left over for a walk along the Paseo Marítimo into Torremolinos to see the Casa de los Navajas. Google Maps helpfully told us before we even started out that it was closed today, but we went anyway because it was a nice walk along the beach and we would be able to see the impressive exterior of the mansion built by a Malaga sugar baron. As we were making our way back, we had the added bonus of seeing the torre that was originally called Torre de Molinos and gave the town its name.

As you can see in the video, the doves that visit our balcony frequently have been a great source of enjoyment.
