Arrived early sat 4th - a bit nippy but no need to worry as the weather did improve. Chaos at the ticket machines but found one that wasn't being used or so I thought - the misssus reckoned I pushed in!
Went to see Malaga lights first night with a meal at our current fave restaurant Lechuga - impressed with both.
Sunday was a walk to Torremolinos and back along the paseo - the sun out for most of the afternoon and no need to buy a woolly hat! Missed parades but plenty of camp kings (or queens) in Torremolinos - haha.
A few leisurely days followed by a day in Malaga and back to Lechuga for lunch. Both times Malaga was busy.
Used the bus to get to Fuengirola and stayed on the return bus to Torremolinos and walked back. I'm falling out with the train ticketing palaver.
I managed a couple of paddles in the sea on the nicer days.
A friend had a fall a couple of weeks ago and broke a hip so went to see him in hospital at Malaga - hoping he's out on our next trip - it's a long way to go from Benal.
Sadly returned back to the cold late Sunday 12th.
Special mention to the following bars for keeping us fed and watered; Bar 76, Halfway Inn, Bora Bora, Tandoori Grill and Potters Lodge.
PS I thought I saw a Northern Irish man rolling about Arroyo !!!

was hoping chaos at ticket machines would be solved by now, but for all first users not getting info before going, it must seem like a palavar, I am really hoping after taking on board all the info I have read I get it right first go
