    • Day 34

      Gemütlicher Donnerstag

      May 4, 2023 in Spain ⋅ 🌙 18 °C

      Ausgeschlafen und ohne Stress startete der Tag mit einem Frühstück auf dem Campingplatz. Der starke Maikel ging noch ins Gym und Tobia und ich haben ihn dann abgeholt um unsere Beine noch kurz im Meer abzukühlen 🌊
      Der Strand war voller perfekten ✨ Schiefersteinen und dann wurde aus der kurzen Abkühlung eine schiefer session 😂
      Gemütlich packten wir unsere Sachen und sind etwas nach 12:00 abgefahren. Bis nach Malaga zum Airbnb waren es nur noch 25km…nach knapp einer Stunde Fahrt der Küste entlang gab es einen feinen Kebap auf dem Weg 🤤
      Als wir dann die Nachricht bekommen haben, dass wir einchecken können, machten wir uns weiter auf den Weg nach Malaga zu unserem Airbnb. Unterwegs fuhren wir noch an vielen schönen lila Bäumen vorbei.
      In Malaga angekommen verstauten wir unsere Fahrräder im Treppenhaus und verbrachten unseren Nachmittag mit duschen und chillen im Airbnb bis wir dann gegen 20:00 mal raus in die Stadt gingen. Tobia musste noch in ein Fotogeschäft, da seine analoge Kamera kn Barcelona kaputt ging…Doch hier im Laden konnten sie es nicht flicken und Tobia kaufte sich provisorisch eine neue analoge Kamera und für mich gab es noch eine Einwegkamera 📷
      Unser Abendessen hatten wir in einem feinen UDON Restaurant wo wir seeehr feine Gyoza 🥟 und Ramen 🍜 hatten 🫃🏻🫃🏻Nach dem Essen gab es noch ein Dessert 🧁 und wir gingen kurz vor 22:00 auf dem Nachhauseweg in den Supermarkt für Waschmittel und machten dann Zuhause noch eine Wäsche…etwas spät aber dann haben wir es hinter uns 😂

      Morgen werden wir den ganzen Tag in Malaga verbringen und am Abend noch paar Freunde treffen ✨

    • Day 19

      Day in Transit

      September 22, 2019 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

      Today we left Brussels for Malaga, and most of the day was spent travelling. We left the apartment about 10am, and headed for the Central Station to catch a train to Zaventem airport. It was Car Free Sunday in Brussels today, and so only buses and taxis were allowed into Brussels, even Uber was not allowed. The station was full of people, which surprised me for a Sunday morning, but not only was it car free Sunday, train travel was a reduced price to anywhere in Brussels (except the airport!). A very helpful staff member assisted us with getting the correct ticket and we then made our way to the platform. The train was running a little late and we had 10 minutes to wait, when an announcement came over the loudspeaker to advise a change in platform, which meant we had to take our bags up and down stairs to get to the correct one, which we did with perhaps a couple of minutes to spare!

      The trip to the airport was about 20 minutes. We then had to find our airline (TUI) and drop off our bags, as we had already checked in on line (Ian has become very proficient with on-line check-ins using his phone!). We then had a bit of time till our flight, so we grabbed some lunch, and I got myself some Jo Malone fragrance duty free.

      Our flight was on time, and we landed in Malaga about 4.30 pm. The weather here was quite warm (29C), but not too humid, which is good. We collected our bags (much quicker than in Germany!). We then grabbed a taxi, and let our hosts know we were on our way. Gary and Ralph - two English guys who now call Malaga home, and have done so for the past 17 years - have 2 apartments in Malaga, and live in the hills behind Malaga. They settled us in, and then left us to our own devices. They provided us with a number of recommendations for dinner, which no doubt we will make use of.

    • Day 20

      Caminito del Rey

      September 23, 2019 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

      We had an early start today, as we had to meet the small group and our tour leader on the other side of the canal, about a 15 minute walk from our apartment, at 8:30 am. There were eight of us on the tour - 3 from Canada (Toronto and Quebec), 2 from Portugal, 1 from London, and us. Our guide for the day was Alfonso, a very tall Spaniard ,who has lived in Malaga for many years, but is originally from the North of Spain.

      It was an amazing day. We trekked about 8 kilometres, and climbed up and down hundreds of stairs. I clocked up 20,650 steps, and felt it afterwards. The views and scenery were spectacular, but if you have a fear of heights, this is not the trek for you. The walkway we used was bolted to the side of a sheer rocky cliff, on one side of a deep, narrow gorge.

      There is a community of vultures in the area that have grown from less than 5, to a population of nearly 200. They live atop the cliffs, and farmers in the area have agreed that if any of their sheep, cows or goats die, they donate the animal to the vultures. The cliffs and rock formations are mainly limestone and sandstone, and create a wonderful landscape whichever way you look.

      Alfonso brought along a picnic for us to have about half way through the trek comprising manchego cheese, chorizo, bread and bananas. It was very thoughtful to provide this delicious picnic, and greatly enjoyed and appreciated. Ian, of course, loved the chorizo.

      During the second half of the trek we continued to meander along the walkway, until we reached a suspension bridge that was made of metal grating, so that if you looked down you could see all the way to the river/canal - it was a long way down! Both Ian and I coped with the heights - there were some Danish girls on a school trek, and 2 of them were absolutely petrified of heights, one just clung to the rock face and did not look down. We talked to her and encouraged her along the way, and she had a beaming smile once she looked back at what she had achieved at the end. The other girl just broke down into tears, a little overwhelmed by the experience. These girls were on a school trip, and had to do the trek, which seems a bit cruel to me.

      We had to trek another kilometre once we completed the walk to catch a shuttle bus back to the start, as the trek is only one way (thank god). The winding and narrow roads the bus driver had to navigate through were a challenge. Once back to the start, we jumped back into Alfonso’s van for the drive back to Malaga. It was tough going at times but a memorable experience that we both thoroughly enjoyed. Alfonso was a great guide, and very cheeky, and we enjoyed some good banter with him and our fellow trekkies - it was a great little group and we got along well.

    • Day 2

      Finalmente a Malaga!!

      October 24, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

      Una città meravigliosa e molto serena ... Qui si respira un'aria giovane ma allo stesso tempo tradizionale, piena di piccoli vicoli caratteristici dal colore chiaro e luminoso, ricca di persone cordiali sorridenti e scherzose.
      La prima tappa è sicuramente azzeccata.

    • Day 168

      Málaga

      July 25, 2020 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

      Malagaaaaaaa...Reisen in Coronazeiten ist echt seltsam - und wahrscheinlich auch egoistisch! Durch das Land reisen und im Zweifel den Virus verbreiten, ist wahrscheinlich das Letzte, was man tun sollte in Zeiten einer Pandemie, aber man merkt in jeder Straße und in jeder Stadt wie dringend Spanien die Touristen und eine auflebende Wirtschaft braucht. Viele geschlossene Läden und viel zu leere Restaurants, die nicht aelten familiengeführt sind.

      Dementsprechend verhalten wir uns bestmöglich: ständig Maske tragen, Abstand halten und oft Hände waschen. Nicht alles ist geöffnet und man merkt, dass das Land traumatisiert ist und in einem Dilemma zwischen Wirtschaft und erneutem Lockdown steckt.

      Malaga ist nichts desto trotz eine wunderschöne Stadt! 600.000 Einwohner und damit ein wenig kleiner als Düsseldorf, alles lässt sich zu Fuß machen und überall ist Platz für ein Bierchen :) unsere Unterkunft ist nagelneu und sogar mit Dachpool ausgestattet. Als unsere erste Citytour aufgrund mangelnder Anmeldungen abgesagt wurde, wollten wir uns stattdessen die Burg anschauen. Schlau gewählt während der Mittagshitze auf den Berg zu wandern 🤣 oben angekommen mussten wir natürlich erstmal eine ausgedehnte Vino-Siesta einlegen.

      Übers Wochenende haben wir dann noch Besuch aus Madrid bekommen: Theo und Panos sind mit dem Motorrad gekommen und haben endlich Diana kennen gelernt. Diese Stadt hat mich definitiv nicht zum letzten Mal gesehen. Me gusta mucho...

    • Day 1

      Malaga, så er vi her

      March 4, 2017 in Spain ⋅ 🌧 13 °C

      Hjemme i lille Danmark stod barometeret og vippede omkring frysepunktet og mere sne var på vej, så det var et fint tidspunkt at vælge en tur til det solbeskinnede Malaga på den Spanske sydkyst. Vejrudsigten lovede 22 - 25 grader og masser af sol, og det skulle vise sig at holde stik.

      Vi landede klokken 22.30 og havde bestilt en Taxi ind til Hotel Zenit som er et ganske udmærket hotel i gå-afstand til midtbyen, (ca. 25 minutter). Vi gjorde ikke, men man kan også tage bussen som holder nærmest uden for døren.

      Efter check-in slentrede vi ned på Vino Bar som ligger forholdsvis tæt på hotellet, på et hyggeligt lille torv. Vi nød vores ankomst, det fine vejr og et par kolde øl. Vino Bar er super hyggelig og kan anbefales.
