12 Days in Andalusia: A Culinary and Coastal Love Affair 🤣🇪🇸🌊

Good evening, folks, from the sunny shores of Fuengirola! 🙋🏻‍♀️

Yesterday, I made the executive decision to spend the night in Copenhagen, thanks to my early flight this morning. Unless I suddenly discovered teleportation, there was no way I could catch a train from Herning on the same day. So, I headed to KBH yesterday afternoon, where I treated myself to some delightful solo time and, of course, another fantastic dinner at Sticks’N’Sushi.

After last week’s great first impression, a sequel was inevitable. This time, I opted for their branch near Tivoli, purely for logistical reasons – because why drag my suitcase all over the city when the metro could effortlessly whisk me away to my hotel near Kastrup? Efficiency, people! 🤣

Restaurant Bahía 🍲

I was recommended to try Restaurant Bahía by M, the lady from Finland I met on the trip to Caminito del Rey. She too stayed somewhere in Fuengirola, nearby this restaurant, and said she’d eaten here several times. So I asked my brother if he again wanted to join me for dinner. I told him that I was going to try their paella, and he was okay with that. I guess it’s a Mediterranean themed restaurant, as they had both spanish, greek and italian dishes.

We first went for a starter. I got a simple caprese.

Then the flavourful paella de verduras – vegetarian paella for my brother and I 😉 This was really good, btw!

Finally, we again got a Limoncello. We didn’t go for a dessert, as we were full. The Limoncello we got here was a bit bitter, not as good as the other one we got at Limoncello Ristorante. But the service at both restaurants were great.

Namaste Fusion – another Indian lunch in Fuengirola 🍛

The last day, before returning to Denmark, was mostly spent on shopping. I got some breakfast at the Granier nearby, before taking the train to Plaza Mayor, where I spent some hours on shopping. Got a new bag and some clothes 😁👜💸

Shooting for some movie, I guess – at Plaza Mayor

Hereafter I returned to Fuengirola, where I decided to go for some Indian lunch at Namaste Fusion, as my brother had recommended. He said the food is really good here. You find Namaste Fusion at C. General Rodrigo 4, close to Playa de los Boliches.

I got some pulao rice and a veg karahi. I tried a spicy version of it, and trust me, it was VERY spicy, actually too spicy for me, but it still tasted good. The mango lassi was a great companion here 🔥😅

After that lunch I wanted to go for some more shopping in Fuengirola, but as it was quite windy, I just returned home and relaxed a bit.

When my brother returned from work, we went for some churros at Costa Del Sol, a café at C. Marbella 3, near Plaza de la Constitución. The original spanich churros are something else than what you get in other places. I guess the churros you get in England, Denmark etc. are americanised versions. Sadly. Because I am not a fan of the real spanish churros… Sorry to say 🥲

But the spicy indian lunch was quite good 😉

First time trying paella ;)

After a too quick visit to the Botanical Garden in Málaga, I finally managed to get an Uber in a rush, and arrived to Centro Historico, where I found a restaurant to get some lunch. I just felt I had to eat something before going for the Hammam, so I found Tapa Boca, that is located close to where the Uber driver could drop me off. It is a spanish restaurant, and they offered veg paella, so I gave it a try as I haven’t tried a paella before – and when in Spain you should of course try a paella 😉

The paella was pretty good.

Spice me up, Málaga! 🍛

After 3 hours of walking along El Caminito del Rey, we drove back to Málaga etc., where we could jump off if we wanted to do so. When we arrived at Málaga, I therefore decided to jump off the bus, because I thought of eating there. I hadn’t eaten the whole day, but got some water, so I was litterally starving 😂

I decided to go to The Great India at Plaza de la Solidaridad, nearby the Málaga Alameda Centro, which has got some good reviews on Tripadvisor. And I actually liked the food pretty much!

I got some pappadum and some chutney/pickles, and I got a baingan bhartha with rice for main. Really good!

Hereafter I went for shopping at El Corte Inglés. I found out, that being a tourist you can get a Discount Card, that you can use within a week. By using the card I got 10% discount for my first purchase, and 5% for the following purchases. the customer service at any El Corte Inglés shop by showing them your passport or your ID proof ☺️

And then back to Fuengirola by the C1 train ☺️
