Day 4 Malaga

Our final day was a short one as we had to get the 1350 train to the airport. We had no big plans, just to eat stuff and enjoy the sunshine. 

Our first stop was an alfresco breakfast next to the cathedral at El Jardin 1887. We both had just had pan tomate and coffee but it was delicious. 

Once we were fueled up we went a walk up the hill towards the castle. We did that thing where we kept taking photos all the way up even though the view kept improving. We call that move a Giralda after our climb up the cathedral in Spain many years ago.

The views at the top were incredible, it was a beautiful day so you could see for miles with deep blue skies and the blue blue sea. Very much worth the effort!

When we got back down, we headed to the apartment and grabbed our bags. It was an amazing apartment in an incredible location with Antonio Bamderas apparently living upstairs! We'll def stay there again.

It was time for another tiny Spanish coffee so we just went back to Framil since their coffee was delicious the other day. When we got there we decided to order a couple of churros each too since we knew it would be our last opportunity. Delicious! 

I'd booked a locker at a left luggage place next to the train station even though it was only for a few hours so that we could enjoy our time unburdened and it was def worth the €6. Lovely place and very well organised - it was called Lock and Relax and we did.

Our final thing on our holiday to-do list was to hire some escooters. They aren't allowed in the historic centre anymore so we headed down to the waterfront to get them. We downloaded the app and we were off. It's incredible cos the ground is smooth smooth marble. I was flying, weaving in and out of pedestrians with the wind in my hair and a smile on my face! K was a bit more sensible but still loving it.

After scooting about for a while we grabbed a seat overlooking the water at Chopp and ordered a Fanta each (lemon for K, orange for me). It being Spain, they gave us some free tortilla, olives and breadsticks too. We sat just enjoying the sun and the people watching.

We then decided to hire some scooters again to take us back to the other end of the marina - it really is the most fun and walking is for chumps. Back in the Old Town we decided we had time for one last coffee so we just went to La Cueva de 1900. We grabbed a outside table and I ordered a bonbon and K a cafe con leche. My bonbon came as a shot of espresso with a sachet of condensed milk on the side, I'd never seen it like that before but it was delicious once assembled. Sadly, it was then time to pick up our bags and head to the airport. 

We got through security really quickly so we had plenty of time to grab lunch before our flight. K had a baguette with tortilla and jamon and I had chicken fingers and chips (weirdly popular in Spain) and we shared some final jamon croquetas.

Our flight boarded 45 mins early and even left early so it was a pretty smooth trip home. Now we're back in rainy Glasgow and I'm already looking forward to our trip to Mallorca in May!
