I thought that I would like to take a break from my usual mazes financial and write about a recent trip to my wife and took Spain. Like most Brits we interested in for a little bit of winter sun and recent time in United Kingdom we practically inserts into a plane without too much resistance.
Of course we Brits love Spain due to its proximity and the abundance of the residents of speaking English especially in the South. However we have had a hankering for something that brought us up close to warmer parts, but not the "cube and shovel brigade".
After a little online search we come on a leased rather than a major company but private villa. Looking for modern, private swimming pool, modern amenities and a view to die. It was a little hesitant to drive 45 minutes from Malaga airport to the coast and the hills, but in fact, the unit was easy on a straight road, I had nothing to fear.
We landed in Malaga around 2 pm (once more sensitive to fly), collected our car rental from below from Malaga airport, one of the largest airports of Malaga sale points) and by 4 pm sat in the balcony of villa comfortably warm holding a nice chilled glass of wine.
The villa rent was perched on a hillside sloping in a charming town called Alcaucín, described as a "chocolate box" people outside and certainly met his reputation. Then the Vinuela Lake was a beautiful blue ocean hidden among the hills. Now we are relaxed.
Inside the air conditioned villa everything that we needed we had. 3 Smart bedrooms, 2 clean bathrooms, modern kitchen, lounge and dining room all equipped with the comforts of home. not that we were going to spend much time here, but it is good to know that we were not going to as marginal. We had outside our own private swimming pool, terrace area and Sun BBQ brick with views down the Hill.
Our trip was just a short hop 1 week really did in most of our time that revolves around. Local villages provide the best restaurants and bars, and Granada era, but a drive 2 hours with the Alhambra, to see in this part of the world.
For those with beach and shops in mind, we were not more than 15 minutes from the seaside town of Tower of the sea, boasting one of largest hypermarkets of euro-estilo I've seen put Tescos to shame. And if you want to go for the high-life Marbella are no more than one hour back down the coast.
Every day we find a joy to our rented villa again. The owners have clearly taken time and effort to keep it clean and cosy, and management that had employed agents were as helpful as you want without being intrusive.
At the end of our stay simply returned our keys and waved a warm farewell. A rapid 45-minute drive and we were again at Malaga airport for our flight home.
For a quick getaway, fuss not try something a little different. Great travel companies have a higher possibility of choice, but dig around on the internet there are some real gems hidden and, indeed, we find one here. It will come us again in spring to further explore the local peoples and kitchen.
