malaga moments[click to enlarge]

It was a whirlwind 30 hours in Málaga and I loved every minute. I drove down with the veo gang (Markus, Joao and Domingo), arriving around 11 in the morning. Spent the rest of the day “taking care of business” until the boys headed back around 7 pm. Then I walked over to my little studio apartment and got settled in, though there wasn’t much to unpack just for overnight. Later I headed out on my own for a solitary tapeo and basically just enjoyed wandering around the old centre at night.

Next morning I met with a twitter friend Victor (@WeLoveMalaga) as he had promised me a walking tour – and we had a great time. Victor is a natural. Charming, informed, passionate about his city. The two hours flew by. We were joined by his friend Tatiana (whose holiday apartment I was staying at) and had a little tapeo lunch (Victor also gives tapas tours) and far too soon it was time for me to pick up my bag and catch the train home as I had my own tapas tour to give. Exhausted? Yep. But it was lots of fun. How’s your weekend going?

At the end of every trip to Málaga it always feels like it was never long enough, and on the train ride home after my most recent visit I got to thinking that I needed some sort of work-related ‘excuse’ to get down to my second home on a regular basis. And it looks like that’s about to happen! This week I start working with veoapartment as their Málaga expert, taking care of finding holiday apartments there and setting up the soon-to-be-launched Málaga page. Once up and running I’ll also be handling bookings and updating and have been told I’ll be making regular trips to Málaga. Yay!

What’s extra cool is that I think this is the perfect ‘extra part time job’ I’ve been looking for. I can do a lot of it from home with occasional meetings at the office, and I really like working with the Veo gang (I’ve been their social media manager for just over a year). So while it’s very early days – I still have to find the apartments! – it is definitely an exciting project. Wish me luck!

fff - ship

This week’s Friday Foto Finder challenge is “ship”…

In Málaga sometimes the cargo ships are queued up one after the other along the horizon for miles and take days to get into port. I kind of like how this one is framed in the little BBQ hut at my favourite beachfront seafood restaurant in Pedregalejos.

Check out what other Friday Foto Finders are posting over here!

malaga port
It’s never long enough. Took this photo of Málaga port on my way back to the apartment to pack up and get ready for an early departure in the morning. But I still have one evening left to meet Justine for tapas and walk around the center of town enjoying the Christmas lights. It’s been a whirlwind week filled with friends and food, sea and sun… my Málaga.

How’s your week been?
