The only must-see I suggest to everyone no matter what kind of holidays they're planning is to make a trip to Las Cañadas del Teide to take a good look at El Teide volcano. It's really impressive and worth getting up early!Irene @ Away from Tenerifehttp://awayfromtenerife.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002916643127981684.post-42062372663972222332015-02-27T03:23:18.997-08:002015-02-27T03:23:18.997-08:00I'm really surprised anyone would find Málaga ...I'm really surprised anyone would find Málaga ugly! I do think it's experienced quite a bit of regeneration in recent years (e.g. Muelle Uno) but even so, I can't imagine anyone could find the city streets and monuments unattractive. I visited in November and completely fell for Málaga! Really compact & easily walkable, great atmosphere, good food, a beach... what more could anyone want? Oh and the Alcazaba is well worth a visit if you go again!Kate Turner - Oh hello, Spainhttp://ohhellospain.blogspot.com.es/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002916643127981684.post-83200303216840837862015-02-27T02:34:48.265-08:002015-02-27T02:34:48.265-08:00Malaga is SO pretty, has amazing museums, great ma...Malaga is SO pretty, has amazing museums, great markets, fantastic food... must I continue? They've put a lot into new renovation projects and it's becoming one of the most exciting places for a city break in Andalusia-- plus it's so close to some fantastic rural destinations too!

It is not particularly pretty' but after reading that you're currently living in Spain, I think it's just great that you try and see as much as you can in your host country. I wish I knew more of my home country myself!<br /><br />Also, I see that one of your upcoming trips is to Tenerife, cool!

We did everything you suggest (great things!), but we also went to the hammam in the center (http://whatupswags.blogspot.fr/2015/01/malaga-jasmine-palace.html). I think there are a lot of hammams in the area, and it was just a lot of warmth and relaxation - the ultimate defrosting experience! I feel like I could see why people think Malaga is ugly, but really, just like any big city, it's all about where you go and when!
