With a central location and smart interiors, this Malaga bolthole has a lot going for it. Although not pictured, there’s a balcony with outdoor furniture, too – perfect for catching a few rays. It’s worth noting that if six of you share, the last two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the lounge. Not ideal for some, but we can forgive that for its prime location. You’re just in front of the cafe-dotted Plaza de la Merced and within easy walking distance of the city’s hotspots, including Calle Larios, Picasso Museum, and the Cathedral. And, of course, there’s always La Malagueta Beach – just a five-minute stroll away.
