The Best Place to Stay in the Malaga Area!
El Palo is definitely the place to stay when visiting Malaga any time of the year. This apartment is just a block from the beach and the world renown El Tintero Restaurant. The apartment is a a spacious three bedroom, totally furnished home away from home, with a spacious kitchen, newly remodeled bathroom, and a pleasant balcony which has a beautiful view of the beach and sea. The eastern exposure of the balcony lets in the morning sun, but provides a cool breezy place in the afternoon and evenings. The dining room and living room can easily accommodate six people.
When we arrived, we were greeted by Jose Luis Sr., the father of the owner. He was a cordial and charming man who made us feel immediately at home. Since we had rented a car, he showed us to the private parking stall in the garage. Jose Luis made sure we know how to operate everything before leaving us. Before we left, we met the owner Jose Luis Jr. and his lovely wife. They returned our deposit to us in full. They were such a pleasant couple. We thanked them profusely for providing such a wonderful place.
The apartment is located on the fifth floor, which is no problem because the elevator is right next to the entrance of the apartment. It was easy to unload our car and take up the suitcases. There were just three of us, so my wife and I stayed in the room with the queen size bed, and my daughter took one of the two rooms with the twin beds. There was plenty of room. Everything is very close to the apartment. There is a Supersol supermarket a few blocks away. The bus stop for Bus # 11, which takes you right to the Alameda in downtown Malaga, is just a two minute walk from the apartment. The 25 minute ride is not bad, since all buses in Malaga offer free wifi. We used the car for the many day trips we took to Sevilla, Cordoba, Granada, Gibraltar, and other places, and used the buses to go back and forth to Malaga centro. If you have time and like to take strolls, you can also walk along the Paseo Maritimo, passing the best chiringuitos on the Costa del Sol, which offer the freshest seafood at the very best prices! I have stayed in other places in the Malaga area on previous trips, but nowhere have I experienced the warmth, cleanliness, charm, and accessibility that this apartment as to offer. This Apartment is a real bargain, if it is available! Make this your first choice and you will not regret it!
