Surrounded by museums, cafes and eateries – of which there’s a Mediterranean restaurant and a very interesting diner with hanging bicycles – this beautiful home in Malaga is also only a five-minute walk away from Calle Molina Lario. This notable street is dotted with baroque landmarks and well worth a stroll through. Elsewhere, you’ll find ornate churches and coffee shops, scattered around plazas, where you can sit down and watch people go by. The beach is around a fifteen minute walk and on your way back you can swing by the Atarazanas public market to pick up supplies for dinner.

Put together a little tapas platter in the compact kitchen and take it out onto the generous terrace. Toast to a day well spent as the last of the Mediterranean sun slips away and stay out under the Spanish night sky, making plans for the next day, until exhaustion catches up with you. Retreat to the comfortable bedrooms, but not before treating yourself to a long soak in the tub.
