We finally encountered warmth and sunshine just in time for the holidays. After a cold and mostly cloudy stay in Granada, the Costa del Sol was calling our name. We camped out in a nondescript condo in Torrox Costa overlooking the Med. We caught the new Star War in Spanish in nearby Nerja-the Balcon de Europa. Nerja if a fine place to kill an afternoon. The overall Costa del Sol is loaded with European expats lucky enough to escape the biter cold, snow, and rain in their nearby respective countries. The good news about clusters of European expats is that they bring their cuisine with them. This makes drinking Belgium beer and eating Currywurst possible.
A couple of days later we made it to Málaga and stayed at an apartment in the lively Plaza de la Merced-where Pablo Picasso was born. As attractive as it lookes during the day, it isn't the ideal location if your goal is to sleep at night. The random singing, drunken arguments, and general cafe noise below dip well into the wee hours. Alas, we survived.
