We spent one night in Granada, near Alhambra.

It was breathtaking beautiful…huge bridges, high mountains…

but hot and we missed the sea breath.

Back to the coast.

Roquetas de Mar was not a place for us.

On the road again…

 

 

Balcón de Europa  Nerja Spain by BLOGitse

Balcón de Europa in Nerja, Spain

 

We found ourselves looking for a place to stay over night.

We had bad luck. We chose the hotel by the beach.

It should have 4 stars but in our opinion it didn’t.

We had a better room and service  in a hostal with one star!!!

Plus a guy, guest, came to our room when I was naked going to have a shower. argh!

 

 

hotel Perla Marina Nerja Spain by BLOGitse

 

Prices in Nerja are a little bit higher than in Malaga.

It was impossible to find a parking place for our car.

I noticed from TripAdvisor that we’re not alone.

Some other quests say that this is not a four star hotel!

 

BUT Nerja is a beautiful place.

 

Next morning back to Malaga…

Actually this was shot before Nerja – you see how many kilometers it’s to Malaga :)

 

We found a four star hotel with a small pool in the center of Malaga,

10e cheaper than Perla Marina.

 

Time to have a drink!

Yesterday morning was cloudy – a perfect time for picking strawberries!

It was only 25 minutes drive from Helsinki.
