After several days of being wowed by Barcelona we pull ourselves away and hop a train for Malaga or at least close to there, Torremolinos. The train system here is amazing….trains that link to the metro that also link to the airport….again wow.  We also took a taxi and have to say after all the taxi rides we’ve taken over this trip, this was one fair taxi….no ‘fast’ meters, no driving in circles, no high starting price.  

So here we are at the beach once again……the weather is pleasant, not super hot like we left Thailand but comfortable, sunny and hot enough to laze on the beach.  The water is definitely not that warm yet but there are a few swimmers.

A person could get very used to this lifestyle, beach, tapas, sangria and sunshine.  I read they get over 300 days a year of sunny D, mild temperatures of 19 degrees and also a nickname of Costa del Golf as there are over 54 golf courses in the immediate area!

After soaking up some rays and enjoying lots of inexpensive wine, beer and sangria we have to decide whether to rent a little place here for the remainder of our trip or press on. Tough call but with a click of the mouse we’re booked on a flight to Lisbon.
