Back after what feels like an Olympic-level shopping marathon at Plaza Mayor! 🤣
Okay, maybe that’s a slight exaggeration – but it was a long day. Well, sort of. Truth be told, I actually woke up late, skipped breakfast, and then finally took the train from Los Boliches to Plaza Mayor, where I sensibly started the day with a delicious lunch at Tagliatella – because everyone knows shopping requires fuel. My order? Fresh olives, garganelli all’uovo with Vera Napoletana – Tomato sauce napoletano, Mozzarella di Bufala PDO tartar, basil, pesto pearls and basil oil, – and a cold Coke. Hydration and carbs? Check. Now we’re ready to go 💪🏾😆
Then came hours of wandering through the shops, doing that thing where I pick things up, consider them for ten minutes, then put them back down because “I’ll think about it” – only to immediately regret not buying them. Classic. It was also ridiculously hot, so my productivity level in the shopping department wasn’t exactly record-breaking. But no worries – I still have plenty of days left for retail therapy! 😂💸
To cool down, and for a small break in the heat, I grabbed a fresh orange juice and paired it with pan con tomate – because, let’s be honest, I could eat pan con tomate all day. Simple, delicious, and a lifesaver in this heat 🍊🥵 – and then ready for more shopping again for an hour, before heading back to Los Boliches with the C1 line 😅
Back in Fuengirola, I grabbed an indian dinner at Cafetéria Paseo del Mar – a creamy mixed vegetable curry with rice 🍛
Now? Time to kick back and do absolutely nothing for the rest of the day.
But tomorrow – oh, tomorrow is a big one! I’m heading to Caminito del Rey, aka my favourite place in all of Europe – the thrilling cliffside hike in Málaga, offering stunning views of El Chorro gorge. Known for its dramatic, restored path, it’s a must for adrenaline seekers and nature lovers alike!
I went last year and instantly fell in love. If dramatic cliffs, breathtaking views, and a bit of adrenaline sound like a good time, then trust me – this place delivers. Hiking in the most stunning surroundings? Yes, please! 😍😍😍
