Malaga Day 3

Another banging, roasting, day in Malaga. We started the day with churros and chocolate at our favourite joint - Casa Aranda down next to the market. K always gets cola cao (an instant hot choc) cos she is a baby but I get the good stuff.

They were, of course, excellent. I could probably eat about a million of them! Churros here are thicker and less sweet than the traditional thin churros and all the better for it.

After breakfast we strolled over to the contemporary art museum, CAC. We love it there and have seen loads of great exhibitions and today's visit was no different. The only thing was that there was a primary school visit and they were very loud and shrill.

Post museum we went a stroll around the Soho area, taking in some street art along the way. K was delighted to find a cake she'd been looking for and bought 2 "incase it is amazing". We had a wee coffee stop at PicNic and I had my first bonbon of the holiday (coffee with condensed milk) and we also both had a lovely freshly squeezed orange juice.

Feeling revitalised, we wandered about a bit more and popped into a comic shop. Then we went to Doña Inez where we had planned a pre-lunch snack cos I'd seen one of their things online a few times and knew I needed it! Annoyingly, it wasn't open yet, even though it should have opened 20 minutes previously - classic Spain!

It was roasting by this point so we decided to wander up to the apartment to dump our jackets rather than hanging about. When we got back 20 mins later it was open and the outside tables we're starting to fill up. I'm glad we got one!

We ordered a caña each and the brioche de rabo de toro that we'd come for. It was just a wee snack and was €7 but it worth every penny. It was incredible, definitely worth the hype!

Post snack we headed up to Orellana for the rest of our lunch. When we got there we discovered that they are closed for a few weeks, gutted! We decided just to go to La Tranca cos we only wanted a wee thing. It's a very popular old bar that does tapas, absolutely no frills, just good food. It was rammed but we managed to grab a couple of stools. We just had some jamon croquetas and a wee piece of tortilla but they were both very good examples of the classics. K had her first (and 2nd) Kas Limon of the holiday and I stuck to non-alcoholic Victoria beer.

We headed back towards the apartment and just ended up grabbing some seats outside 100 Montaditos to enjoy the sun and chill for a while. We had some non-alcoholic beers and a giant cone of crisps. K also had a tiny chocolate roll (gadz) and I had a tiny burger which was "fine". The crisps and beer and sun were great though! 

We had nothing planned for this afternoon so we eventually just headed back to the apartment where I lay on the bed next to the open balcony doors with the sun beating down on me and K read her book in the shade. Win/win.

We headed down to the port to enjoy the sunset and a lovely walk along the front and a wee seat at the end to enjoy the views.

The restaurant we'd planned to go to for dinner didn't open til 830 and I didn't fancy waiting til after 9 to eat. I was also acutely aware that we hadn't had a vegetable all day! We decided to go to Udon for, unsurprisingly, some noodles. It was still after 8 when we got there so we weren't eating at "embarrassing tourist o'clock" but it was still a bit early.

We had some edamame and some udon noodles, k just had veg and I had veg and chicken. They weren't exciting or fancy in any way but they were exactly what we fancied.

After tea we just had a wee wander about and popped into some shops then we headed back to the apartment. We've only got til lunchtime tomorrow then our flight back is a 4pm.
