Typical train journey along the coast
There are comfortable trains and buses to get around the province.
Taxis are plenty not to mention the wide range of car hire companies.

Walking in the historical centre of Malaga,
I soon wandered into the square at Plaza de la Constitucion.

Alot of time can be spent here just people watching!
There is always a lot going on
and it's where many events and performances are staged.
The Carmen Thyssen Museum is just down the road.
Street artists perform here
and watching this talented finger painter was mesmerizing.

Another 2 street performers in Malaga
performing in the Plaza de la Constitucion
nearly make my eyes pop out
. They are super talented and show how mind over matter can work!
They were at it for over an hour
and still retained their posture when I left.
Mind boggling stuff !

They work long hours.
I often see them sailing off in the evenings
to spend all night at sea and only return after sunrise.
You have to respect them.

I love the beaches of golden sands and sapphire waters
in this part of Spain the Costa del Sol. From Malaga I can take the train to my favourite destinations at Torremolinos and Fuengirola.
Each time I return here its like I am coming home feeling. I have grown fond of the area and blend in well with the locals who I find to be friendly.

There are endless choice of hotel accommodation along the Costa del Sol from the very expensive to the
budget ones. I normally find staying half board is quite sufficient. Eating out taking in the local cuisine
especially at one of the beachside restaurants is a very enjoyable experience.
Alas, a week soon dashes past and its time to go home.
No doubt, we hope there will be another trip back
to this captivating part of the world
sooner rather than later.
The Spanish are a flamboyant and vibrant people
with so much energy as you soon learn
as you watch them performing their flamenco
and in their daily lives.
They love their carnivals and festivals.
Yes, they exude joie de vivre meaning
they know the joy of living,
hearty enjoyment of life!
ok, easyJet beam us up!. . . flying out of Malaga Airport
heading out to sea.
Adios !
