End of the year and orange trees


Beautiful Sevilla and Granada done, Malaga is somewhat low key but still worth a visit, a hike to the Alcazaba and higher up to the Gibralfaro for some cool shots. 


Admittedly, landing in the British interpretation of Summer Paradise was not high on my bucket list, but life is defined also by circumstances. And circumstances brought the discovery that beyond all those golf courses and big resorts, Marbella has also a very cute traditional town at its heart, whose streets and squares make wandering (or sitting with a cervecita) a sweet end of the year.


Serendipity also brought a toast to the new year (and the fast swallowing of the traditional 12 grapes) with the owners, waiters and customers of a small restaurant in central Malaga, devoted to excellent and reinterpreted tapas and medias.

Even in Costa del Sol, something left behind: can you taste the colourful fruits hanging from those ubiquitous decorative orange trees?
