I would recommend the Plaza de la Merced. Not much to see here, but it is lined with tapas bars and is a peaceful respite from the narrow, crowded streets of the old town.

the more i watch, the more exciting it gets. Btw, your video presentation is better from an informative point of view. If i have 15 days to spend between Seville , Cordoba, Granada , Malaga, Torremolinos, Nerja, Marbella and Ronda, what is your recommendation to plan this trip. your comments on my preliminary plan which is... start with Seville 4 nights( 1 day trip to Cordoba and back at night to Seville) and i want to be present at the feria de abril . then i leave by train early to go to Granada spend 1 night there. then leave for Malaga for 4 nights, visit Malaga and also from Malaga I want to go to Ronda (1day trip) and also from Malaga 1 day trip to Nerja. Then leave for Torremolinos for 5 nights and from Torremolinos 1 day trip to Marbella . is it better 2 nights in Granada... is 5 nights in Torremolinos too much.. is there something else( other places in the neighbourhood) more interesting that i am missing.

Hi Tony First thank you for your wonderful videos on travelling to Spain. They have been most helpful. I could not find videos on how to buy local bus tickets in Malaga, (and actually also Granada, Cordoba and Seville) on your website(it looks like for most of the travel within these cities we need to use buses) - so was wondering if you could guide on the options to select in English while buying the tickets(similarly to what you do for metro/train tickets). Are there multi day passes that I can buy in each of these cities and can these tickets be bought at Granda, Cordoba and Seville train station or Malaga airport. Lastly do we have to validate card/tickets on both entry and exit of buses (as is needed in some countries like Netherlands). I apologize for asking this general question but could not find any place else to post the question to you. Thanks for your help.

@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal 9 ай бұрын

Hi Mita, we haven't covered on the channel the type of content you mention. In Málaga you will rarely use the bus (just to go to Gibralfaro castle), so buy the ticket from the driver, no need to validate it. All the best.

At El Tintero when the waiters walk around with plates can I call them over and have a look before deciding? I might not know what they are shouting. It's definitely a must-go to place. Looks delicious. As well, I plan to stay in Malaga for at least 13-14 days, but taking day trips to Ronda, Marbella, Cordoba and Granada. I plan to go to Cordoba and Granada for two days each but returning to Malaga each evening. I'm sure you can take the train in the morning and spend all day there and then return, and then return the next day to the same city. Can you confirm that? Can I?

@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Жыл бұрын

At El Tintero the waiters come to your table. They will show you their offerings for you to decide whether you want them or not. Córdoba is a feasible day trip, although you will have to focus on the basics of the city and will miss the beautifully lit Córdoba at night. Granada is also an option if you take a fast train although, once again, you will miss quite a few places and possibly one of the most beautiful views in Spain, the Alhambra from the Mirador de San Nicolás at sunset.

The city centre has 5 public parkings where you can park your car without problem. For having an idea, almost 2 hours with your car parked in one of those parkings can cost you around 3-3,50 €, it depends in wich parking you're going to park, due every parking has his own tariff, anyway, they're very similar and they adjust to the price I told you before. I hope it can help you.
