more-christmasYes, ANOTHER Málaga Christmas lunch. This time with Fred & Arpy at a new place called Mixtúrate, with a pleasant fusiony menu including Peruvian and Brazilian influences. After lunch we popped over to Café Bar Estraperlo and lucked out finding both José & Mark there at the same time. Over coffee it transpired that Arpy had a packet of Waitrose mince pies in her bag, so out those came and I got to enjoy my first mince pie in YEARS. Happy.

Later on I wandered up to meet my friend David at Corte Inglés Gourmet Experience as it was the only time during the week we were both free to meet up. I always love my chats with David, he’s so supportive and smart, funny and fun to be with too.

After such a great day out I was happy to go home and have a quiet evening in. I really love this about my Málaga Getaways. I get to feel both on holiday and at home at the same time.

christmas-lunch-malagaRafa, Andrew, Antonio & Victor

The annual Málaga Christmas Lunch has become a bit of a tradition over the years, and this time round it was held at Antonio Fernández’s brand new Eboka Restaurant in the heart of the city. Great food, great wine, great company and conversation. Really an afternoon to remember and cherish. Thanks guys! xx

beerI’m here! Arrived in Málaga at midday, caught a taxi to Thane’s place and, after dropping off my bags, headed over to the central market for a light seafood lunch (by this time it was 3 pm!). Then I did a bit of supermarket shopping (water, coffee, juice, paper products, stuff like that) and went back to the apartment to properly unpack and set up the laptop.

This trip I brought Sterling instead of Anchoa because I have a lot of work to do this week and all my photos, files, etc are on the bigger laptop. One of the perks of travelling by train is not having to worry about baggage weight, because my suitcase weighed a TON.

After that I just did a bit of wandering before heading back home for an early night. Today was all about just settling in. Tomorrow I’ll start with the usual Málaga friend frenzy…

afternoon sunThe June 2016 Málaga Getaway wasn’t all tearing around town, as I also got to enjoy some lovely chillax time at Casa de los Principes. I especially loved the mornings there and also when the late afternoon sun came through the windows. But well, okay, most of the time I was tearing around. Had a biz meeting Friday morning and then on Friday evening and Saturday lunchtime I met up with other friends I hadn’t seen yet. Checked out two new eating establishments: Aire Gastrobar (meh) and Brunchit Organic (good). Also, there was a fair bit of walking, though I didn’t make it out to Pedregalejos this time. I almost ended up staying over the weekend, but then decided to come home, thinking that perhaps I’d pop back down for another short stay late-July. And maybe even fit in the two day-trips with Victor that we’d originally planned to do. We shall see..
