Yesterday we went to Frigiliana, a little village close to Nerja, in the Axarquia.
When you went to Frigiliana, you feel the silence and beauty of this white village on the Costa del Sol. One of the most curious things is there are a lot of germans in Frigiliana. Germans have opened shops, pubs, restaurants…
Frigiliana offers a lot fantastic views, and in this village you can find a a lot of shops where buy typical and unfamiliar things: olive oil, honey, sweet wine, flamenco dresses, but you can find tarot cards or lamps with pumpkin shape too!
Looking at this picture, you’d never guess it was taken in Andalusia, in Torremolinos, a village close to Malaga. This wonderful church belongs to an old hospital, still in use but as a psychiatry unit. It is difficult to define the architectonical style since I am not an specialist. Could you say something about it?. The hospital is located 50 meters from the beach, it is situated among beautiful gardens but it looks dirty in some areas. Anyway, it’s worth.
Malaga offers several museums, everyone knows Malaga Picasso Museum, but If you like modern art, you can visit CAC, Art Contemporary Center, too.
The CAC is located in the heart of the Malaga City, in “Calle Alemania” very close to bus and train stations and Alameda Principal Street, one of the most famous street in Malaga.
The CAC entry is free. The Museum closes on Monday. And offers several art collections.
The Museum services are cafe and book store. The cafe have a terrace where you can enjoy the weather of Malaga, and have a coffe, salad or tapas.
Benalmadena Pueblo is one of the most beautiful and typical andalusian style villages. Narrow streets, geraniums, all the visual ideas associated with Andalusia can be found in this Costa del Sol town.
You can taste a good coffee in the little pubs with terraces, have a good and typical meal in many restaurants, and language is not a problem, in a large number of them, employees speak english.
Anyway, we cannot forget there are a large English community all over the Costa del Sol, and they will be pleased to help you for anything you need
In Benalmadena, Costa del Sol, you can find the Buddhist temple, located in the mountains, close to Benalmadena Pueblo, the most typical area of Benalmadena, the Stupa offers a marvellous views all over the Costa del Sol.
Buddhist Temple of Benalmadena.
The Buddhist Temple offers free meditation classes several days per week and for 2 Euros you can see some sculptures and paintings exposition about this religion, and if you like one sculpture or painting, you can buy them.
In a previous post we mentioned about the Malaga Cathedral. Well, what follows is a nice night view of the Cathedral main door and the Palacio Arzobispal. It is not a photoshop collage. Both monuments are one in front of the other in a nice plaza called “Plaza del Obispo“. An small corner of the paradise for having a drink or an ice cream rounded by such wonderful art pieces.
The Feria de Malaga finished last sunday. As usual, a fireworks performance took place on Monday eve. Many people were viewing this wonderful spectacle and sadly said goodbye to seven days of fun and fair.
Just a few moments of the fireworks fair goodbye present:
In another post we speak about aubergines in honey, a delicious tapa that you can find in Pueblo Blanco, Torremolinos.
Yesterday I went to the same restaurant, and I took these pictures of the Torremolinos area.

If you want to do some shopping in Torremolinos you need to go to Calle San Miguel (San Miguel Street). It´s the commercial area, you can buy clothes, parfums, have a good cake and a little expensive in Lepanto or cheaper and very good ones in La Goyesca.
Malaga is offering these days its best touristic attraction. In the pic on the left a view of the main street, CalleLarios, garnished and ready to receive all visitors to the fair. If you wish to share a wine with friends dancing and tasting the famous ‘tapas‘, no doubt, the Feria del Centro is the best place. La feria del Centro is best visited from 14p.m. to 18p.m. Do not expect to find any shop or bank opened after midday.
