Malaga in November - the very good idea



In November (today I can write - last year) I were in Malaga - in Andalusia area. It's the second largest area of the autonomous communities in Spain. The territory is divided into eight provinces: Almería, Cádiz, Córdoba, Granada, Huelva, Jaén, Málaga and Seville. Its capital is the city of Seville. We spent four days visiting Malaga, Granada (Alhambra) and Ronda.



We stayed in very nice hotel Hotel Castilla Guerrero located near city center - all main Malaga's attractions you can reach by foot.

Due to very late flight (we landed in Malaga at midnight) I decided to order  local taxi transport to hotel (you can order earlier taxi): Malaga Airport Taxi
The fastest way to get to hotel is train - directly from airport, and it's the cheapest way, either.

The first day was dedicated for visiting Malaga.








We spent evening in nice restaurant with opportunity to see a flamenco show.










 Second day - the target wad Granada and Alhambra. Unfortunately the weather was changed from hot and sunny to cold and rainy.  










Third day - Ronda - a city located near 100km from Malaga, situated in a very mountainous area about 750 m above mean sea level.
The Guadalevín River runs through the city, dividing it in two and carving out the steep, 100 plus meters deep El Tajo canyon upon which the city perches.

Short summary:
   - we use Norwegian Air - and I have to say it was very good choice !
   - we rent a cars in  Atesa
   - the Picasso Museum id definitely worth visting Museo Picasso Málaga
