Itinerary
Day 1: Arrive in Malaga, welcome to Costa del Sol!
Smile you are in Spain!
I will pick you up at Malaga’s airport (AGP airport code), also called Pablo Picasso airport, or at Malaga’s train station. The train station is called ‘Maria Zambrano’.
The group will go to the house which is 25 min away from the airport or 30 min from the train station.
Depending on the time you arrive to Malaga, how tired you group is, or if if you got jet lag or not, you may want to rest and stay home or go somewhere. That will be up to you the group.
So if you are not too tired or had the chance to rest some, I would take the group to La Cala de Mijas, one of the original fishing villages of the area. It’s just about 2 min drive from the house, or a 25 minutes walk along the soft golden beach across the house.
The village has everything you can expect from a town, it’s full of cafes, family run-shops, outdoor markets, different cuisine restaurants, and of course beach restaurants or ‘chiringuitos’. The old town is small, with narrow lovely streets, and it’s very easy to walk the entire place in a short amount of time.
The group will walk it’s wooden promenade that hugs the coastline, and offers plenty of places to sit, relax and snack while enjoying the sea views.
And of course! I will recommend you where to eat!
The friendly atmosphere of this village is very unique and charming, making this little town a delightful place.
Day 2: Malaga
Have breakfast at home, and walk the beach with your coffee if you want to! The beach is 1-2 min away walking.
I will drive the group to Malaga to visit its immaculate all pedestrian’s marble streets, and surroundings, visit the Cathedral, the Roman Theater, the stunning views of the city from the Alcazaba, the best preserved Moorish fortress in Spain.
All of this is within walking distance.
I will also take you to the magnificent Gibralfaro Castle built in 929 A.D and see the great views of Malaga city.
You will lunch around the old quarter, where you can taste some of Andalusia’s best tapas, or lunch the famous ‘chiringuitos’ (beachside seafood restaurants).
The group will head back to the villa to get some rest, beach time, etc...
Get ready to be picked up for a nice dinner!
Day 3: Banus Port & Marbella
I will drive the group (25 min), to PUERTO BANUS, Spain’s most luxury marina, famous for its yachts, outdoor shopping complex, and restaurants, with an impressive mountain and sea views.
We will make a stop to enjoy the beautiful Puente Romano boardwalk of Marbella, on the way to Puerto Banus. Lunch in Puerto Banus.
The group will go back home, and get ready to go to the prestigious, and glamorous town of Marbella, famous for its beaches, world class golf, vibrant nightlife, and high end shopping.
The group will walk around the spectacular old quarter, where most of their beautiful Castilian Renaissance architecture buildings were built in the 14th and 15th century, with lots of chic boutiques, coffee shops and great restaurants.
Experience the excellent ambiance of Plaza de Los Naranjos, a charming plaza full of orange trees, and one of the most emblematic sights in Marbella.
We won’t miss the Paseo Maritimo ( promenade) for a short walk on it’s marble walkways, full of palms and flowers, and fabulous views of the sea.
The group will have dinner in Marbella, and will watch and authentic flamenco show, which takes place in a typical old Andalusian house you can not miss! (deluxe & flexible package )
After an unforgettable evening, I will take you home or experience the glamorous and world famous Marbella nightlife.
Day 4: Rock of Gibraltar & Tarifa
I will drive you to Gibraltar, a British overseas territory located in a narrow peninsula of Spain’s Mediterranean coast. It’s about 90 minutes drive from the house. We will walk across the border, which is actually the airport runway! It opens for pedestrians to cross it when planes are not taking off or landing. Such an experience!
You will have to bring your passport and remember at this point you are not in Spain anymore.
The group will visit the Rock! A 1400 feet high jurassic limestone rock rising out of the sea,
You will walk around the old quarter of this fortress city, and take a private tour up to the Rock, St. Michael’s cave, Europa point lighthouse, the Great Siege tunnel, dug out by the British to protect Gibraltar from an attempt of Spain and France of capturing the territory from Great Britain.
The group will lunch in Gibraltar.
After visiting Gibraltar, I will take you to one of my favorites places in south Spain, the kitesurfing capital of Europe; the ‘always windy’ town of Tarifa.
You will walk through the Puerta de Jerez, the only one of four medieval entrances remaining, to enter the old town of Tarifa, full of whitewash houses, coffee shops, boutiques built in caves, and lovely Andalusian courtyards.
After visiting the old town, I will take you to my favorite place in Tarifa to see the sunset and relax by the sea!
Tarifa has the most chilled out atmosphere ever, especially in the summer months.
Long and fun day today, Time for the group to go back to the house.
DAY 5: NERJA & FRIGILIANA
Good morning group!
Hope you have your cameras, phone charged, and bathing suit ready, just in case you want to go swimming.
We are on our way to the fantastic coastal fishing village of Nerja, a charming seaside town, and one of my premier destinations of the Costa del Sol. The group will enjoy the scenic 1h coastal drive.
A visit to one my favorite white washed mountain villages is a must, that is Frigiliana, about 20 min from Nerja or so.
We will visit the Balcón de Europa ( Europe’s Balcony) that offers amazing views of the Mediterranean coast.
You will stroll Nerja’s picturesque narrow streets, full of cafes, boutiques, and great ice cream shops!
If the group wants, we can go down the stairs to its crystal clear water beach, about a minute or two walking.
Time for lunch! Plenty of fresh seafood restaurants as well as many other types of cuisine! I have a couple of my favorite restaurants in mind, depending what the group feels like eating.
On our way to see the Nerja caves, we will make a stop to see the Acueducto del Águila (Eagle’s Aqueduct).
The group will take a tour of Las Cuevas de Nerja, (Nerja’s caves). It’s also home of the world’s largest stalagmite, it has held its record in the Guinness Book since 1989. A visit to these caves is truly a unique experience!
Now let’s go to the lovely and well maintained, white village of Frigiliana. Built on a mountainside, the whole atmosphere and feel of this place is just remarkable.
To visit the village, we will walk through its impeccable narrow streets.
I will take the group to my favorite restaurant in the village, with gorgeous sea and mountain views, and of course great food and drinks.
