Bored about the fair

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009

If the fair of Malaga is now boring you, just have a look below. This picture was taken in Ronda (Málaga), nice and famous city not far from Málaga, it takes about one hour to get there but it’s worth it. If you stay over the famous bridge over the Tajo de Ronda, just turn back on your feet, and you’ll see this wonderful sight. Nice places to lunch or dinner but I wouldn’t recommend any, prices must be higher since it’s a very popular city, best try any on the way to Marbella.

Nerja too tourist

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

Yestarday I went to Nerja. I remember when I was a child and I saw Verano Azul (Blue summer) a very famous serial in Spain. I remember the typical spanish white town, little houses and narrow streets, what I saw yesterday it is quite different, a lot of english pubs, shops and exchange houses.

Yeah, the beaches are quite clean and you can find all the services (you won´t have any problems with the language) you need, but without the charming of the typical spanish town.

In some instants, Nerja remembered me Torremolinos, probably one of the most hideous (for the real estate sector and old buildings) town in Málaga. What a shame!

But don´t worry, you can find beautiful things and typical restaurants, although yesterday I thinked: - I was in Italia, a lot of pizzerias there !

Tomorrow, I´ll upload more photos ;)

Don´t think wrong about this town, there are are beautiful things, but shops, pubs and new buildings break the charm.

a kitsch touch

Have a look at this. It’s in Torremolinos. Unvaluable and potentially kitsch. This momument is a memorial dedicated to the tourist. What is on top, is a typical flamenco dancer. As far as I know this pilar was a gift of Sandokan (a famous constructor) for the Torremolinos Council.

Tips in Torremolinos

Walking around Torremolinos, you can be surprised almost at every conner. In this case, a funny mural we found tells about how a good boy can take advantage over a bad boy. Each glazed tile illustrates about different situations where the bad

boy always choses the wrong way and the nice boy does the right. All the frames contains an small poem.
