Day 4: Malaga - Vamos A La Playa!
Click Thumbnails to Appreciate Images

Salobrena along the Costa Del Sol (Sun Coast) of Southern Spain - a touristy place where there are more tourists than locals.
Joking around a cliff going to Salobrena. That's our rented Opel - and a chaffed lip Junnie Wild Flowers along the side roads Cloudy Skies and less than 10 degrees temp - not good weather for a swim at the beach! Look out point of the Mediterranean Sea from South of Spain
Sherry or maybe Dessert Wine, anyone? Frigilliana - winner of the most beautiful village in Spain for a number of years already. Ceramic pots adorn the walls of some residences. Periwinkle blue door
More ceramic on the walls - for sale, this time!



The road less travelled. That's where we tread when we decided to pay a visit to a city further south, that is Malaga. Not for the weak of heart (and those with vertigo), we traversed a road carved from the mountains with the view of the ravines inches away from your side windows. Our first stop was Salobrena. Near the Meditteranean Sea, this place is a sanctuary for tourists who want to hie away from the crowded beaches of Marbella and Nerja. The weather was uncooperative as the waters were choppy and the winds were so cold leaving a number of frustrated people needing a dip (that included us).

We traversed the Costa Del Sol highway to reach a Pueblo Blanco (White Village) behind the hills of Nerja - Frigiliana. This small habitat has been awarded "the most beautiful village" of Andalucia. It was. Each white house's balcony is adorned with a riot of coloured ceramics or scarlet geraniums. Some have colored doors and panels, in periwinkle or salmon pink.

Frigiliana also has maintained its charm with donkeys still plying the streets, alongside motorbikes and mopeds, the only motorized vehicles allowed in its steep and narrow streets. A place to get a good view of Costa del Sol, it's the perfect stop to take some ceramic souvenirs as well as Sherry or a bottle of dessert wine. Both of which without reluctance we took home as keepsakes.
