Perched on the top floor of a historic building in the heart of Plaza de la Merced, this bright apartment is the perfect setting for a couple’s retreat to Spain’s gorgeous Andalusian coast. So much more than a neat base, this simple but stylish home boasts incredible views of the city from two private terraces, so you won’t have to venture far to catch a glimpse of Málaga’s most famous landmarks. Dine al fresco on fresh patatas bravas and gaze out at the town’s famous Renaissance cathedral or savour a refreshing glass of tinto de verano – Andalusia’s answer to sangria – while you take in the sights and sounds of the food market below. You’re right in the heart of the action here, so why not make the most of it? Step out into Plaza de la Merced and settle in for a day of people-watching at a local cafe or wander down to Malagueta Beach for a relaxing midday swim. And when it’s time to eat, pull up a chair at one of Málaga’s beachside restaurants or head back to your cosy home from home for a home-cooked feast on the terrace. What could be better?
