Heading there this week, any recommendations of the usual?
In Malaga la palmilla for the naughty stuff like most Spanish cities there’s always one , soho though it sounds corny its a nice area and so is la merced. Its been a good few years since we have been there but usually the old dodgy areas in Spain get rejuvenated and become la hip. A friend goes there alot I will ask him tomorrow for some tips
For gallery culture CAC, Picasso, Centre Pompidou…for drinks Antigua Casa de Guardia (historic), Pimpi, La Tranca for the music (where I discovered Locomia)…for food, If you can get a reservation El Balneario - Baños del Carmen…and the market is always cool…dont know how long your staying, but a plus of Malaga is its location - easy to get to Seville by train, Cadiz or Granada by car etc…have fun
Just seen you mention the Costa Del Sol…my parents live in Nerja which is nice, as is Frigiliana near by. Ronda is beautiful too
heading down to Malaga on 24th (if anyone has any further tips), Actually saw a flamenco singer called Christina Aguilera in Herradura last time (not bad either!)
*btw I recommend the book Here We Go by Harry Ritchie - a very light read and probably a bit dated now but it was the ultimate anti-travel book and his experiences of microdots and the Eldorado tv set are very funny
Sleazy Records had some decent 12"s in
Heading back after top trip to southern climes. Loved Málaga esp the amazing ‘El Pimpi’ restaurant, tourist-y but no tourist trap. Stopped over in Valencia too. Very underrated city. Sadly didn’t make the tomato-throwing after party but did pop in to the CAHH modern art gallery which is good value
Bumping this as I’m heading back there this weekend. Of course it’s forecast to rain all week, whilst we’ve got some of the best weather in years back home!
Will have a look back through what’s already been mentioned, any more suggestions? Staying in and around Benalmadena this time so any tips around that way would be much appreciated as well.
you also get a nice tote bag, stickers and a free bottle of Madri if you spend £75 in Sleazy, or at least i did, it was very cute and nice.
