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’.

I will drive you 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).

Day 5: Granada

I will take the group to the breathtaking and romantic city of Granada (1h and 45 min drive), considered by many one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

The Albayzín neighborhood is also an Unesco World Heritage Site.

Before we go back to the house, the group will walk around the gorgeous city, the Cathedral, (where the Catholic Kings are buried), the Gypsy neighborhood, the Alcaiceria (Arab spice stone streets) etc..

After a long day, it’s a time to go back and get some rest.

In Granada’s mountains you can find Sierra Nevada, most southerly, and sunniest sky resort in Europe, offering a very long skiing season usually between December and April, and sometimes the season ends up beginning of May. (68 miles of skiing). The group will not go skiing on this tour. Maybe in a near future!

Day 6: 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.

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.
