local train<\/a> from torremolinos to malaga, walked around the city, climbed on the hill with the fortress – Castillo de Gibralfaro, i’ve checked lively local market [where they still do sell raw meet and fish without plastic\/hermetic packing… unthinkable! will surely de-legalized some day ;-]. stupidly i wanted to walk all the way back. distance was not the problem, but… there are no good walking routes so i ended hopping over highways near the airport. then i passed by guadalamar beach region – which was yet another unpleasant experience. last part of the walk to hostel in torremolinos – along the seaside – was fine.<\/p>\n17th – short driving to marbella and walking alone the beach\/city<\/p>\n
18th – driving from marbella to gibraltar. walk around the rock – this time we started from the mediterranean steps – route is fine but long-ish. some feeding of the monkeys, taking pictures of morocco and driving to the conil de la frontera. <\/p>\n
19th – conil-cadiz. longer walk around the town and seaside, and finally el puerto de la santa maria where we had accommodation booked.<\/p>\n
20th – longer route via suburbs of sevilla, huelva [which looked more interestingly on the map than inside] to tavira in portugal. from there we took short trip to cabanas de tavira, monta rota, . + some evening walk around tavira itself. near the seaside – great views with sandy beaches, seaside and swamps between land and open ocean.<\/p>\n
21st – we drive via faro to lagos and take a hike around the cliffs<\/p>\n
22nd – one day trip to sagres – more cliffs; we stay another night in lagos<\/p>\n
23rd – we drive from lagos, via beja to bajadoz – back in spain<\/p>\n
24th – bajadoz via merida [with roman aqueducts, theater] to cordoba<\/p>\n
25th – cordoba<\/p>\n
26th – cordoba to granada; obligatory hike to albacin [aka marihuana smoke polluted bohemian district ] and alhambra. no trip to sierra nevada this time.<\/p>\n
27th – granada via callahonda to nerja. hike along the beach and city.<\/p>\n
28th, 29th – malaga and a bit of torremolinos beaches, flying back.<\/p>\n
during all the trip weather was fine – between 18 and 30C with great blue skies almost all of the time.<\/p>\n
car was rented from hertz for unbelivable 110euro for 12 days. it was skoda fabia 1.2 – i was quite skeptical at first but it turned out to be pretty good ride, and used just ~5.4l\/100km of gasoline ; accommodation – booked mostly via hostelbookers.com with prices between 11 and 25e\/night\/person.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
