Today was dedicated to unwinding – no rushing, no plans, just pure relaxation. And honestly? It was much needed after the past few days of adventures. The day kicked off at a very questionable hour (breakfast? Lunch? Who even knows at this point? 😂) at Civeta Grill, right next to my hotel.
This place has quickly become one of my favorite spots – not just because of the delicious food but also because of the fantastic atmosphere. A super friendly Argentinian guy works there, and his energy is something else. He’s one of those people who radiates positivity and optimism, the kind that just rubs off on you. It fits perfectly with both the Argentinian and Spanish mentality, where the focus is on enjoying life, savoring every moment, and not sweating the small stuff. Honestly, the rest of the world could take a page out of their book! 😉
After a lazy but delicious breakfast (let’s just call it brunch and move on 😂), I hopped on the C1 train to Málaga, feeling no particular rush. Once there, I stopped for a refreshing glass of gazpacho, because honestly, nothing hits better than a cold, flavorful, tomato-based soup when it’s warm outside. It was light, fresh, and exactly what I needed before heading to the highlight of my day: Hammam Al Ándalus.
Now, if you haven’t experienced a hammam, let me tell you – you’re missing out. These traditional Moorish baths date back centuries, blending Arab and Andalusian culture to create a deeply relaxing and purifying experience. It’s not just about cleansing the body but also about soothing the soul. The combination of warm waters, aromatic steams, and complete tranquility makes for the ultimate escape from reality. And today? I treated myself to a full hour of massage, followed by some hours of relaxation in the hammam, floating between warm, hot, and cold baths in the most peaceful atmosphere imaginable. It was absolute heaven, and my tired muscles definitely thanked me for it! 💆🏻♀️
Feeling completely refreshed, I wandered through Málaga’s charming streets and found myself at Casa Mia, a lovely little spot near the Catedral de Málaga. I perched myself at a cozy table and ordered a perfectly balanced margarita – cold, tangy, and just strong enough to keep the relaxation going.
As the evening crept in, I made my way back to Fuengirola, feeling light, happy, and absolutely at peace. And where better to end the night than back at Civeta Grill? The Mediterranean breeze, the golden sunset reflecting off the sea, and the laid-back atmosphere made it the perfect way to close the day. There’s something about sipping a good cocktail in a beautiful city after a hammam session that just feels… right. No stress, no rush – just good food, great vibes, and pure contentment.
Honestly? This is life 😍✨
