Malaga city
In the morning we walked about 100m and took the bus to Malaga downtown. Still under jetlag, it was a bit difficult to remain woke up, so we entered the first place for a coffee and a croissant, McDonalds. We placed our order through a machine like in France, then collected it and sat at the outside terrace.
Malaga is a less touristy place but it is a pleasant city to walk and visit. We walked directly to the Alcazaba, fortified castle, and for about 2E per person, and free for our son, it is really worth a visit. We never needed to present our sons passport. I brought it with us but speaking a bit of Spanish goes a long way.
The Cathedral is closed for prayers but a chapel. The Cathedral provides organized tours for 10E which is very expensive. Many people found it to be. Usually praying places are free anywhere in Europe.
We then walked past numerous stores where the sales were starting. Malaga streets are lines in ceramics, and are very clean.
After visiting Malaga we took the bus back to our hotel for a siesta and an afternoon at the beach.
In the morning we took a taxi to the closest train station, Montemar Alto, as sugested by taxi driver, and it was a good choice as the station only has 2-3 steps up and handy with luggage. We bought our tickets to Maria Zambrano train and bus station for our Alsa bus to Granada. It takes about 1h30 to get to Granada and the bus is comfortable, although there was a bit of confusion, as they had 2 buses: one direct to Granada and one that stops at each of 8 stops. We were sent to the direct bus.
