Finally, we are back in Malaga, after a bus ride by the Med.  I have had a long walk along Paseo Antonio Banderas, punctuated by swims with all the chicos out of collegio. Sin medusas.  Take the old girl into town for dinner.  El Pimpi after a stroll along paseo del Parque. back in the hotel I am given a bottle of Malaga Virgen for being a good client. great end to great holiday.  Let's see if I get it past security!

The beach at Estepona is perfect for me as it has a gentle gradient and no waves.  Would have stayed longer but 2 meduzas were spotted!
the old lady has somwhere nice to sit too. 
stare at the horizon on the middle picture and you will see the rock
(what's it all about?)

Casco viejo, Estepona

Estepona is quieter than Marbella and much more genuinely Spanish. The old town is lovely, we had coffee a la plaza de los flores. 

The old town in Marbella is very pretty.  We met up with Geri and had dinner in the Plaza de las Naranjas.  the latter are verdes at this time of year!

This is the elusive no 5 bus.  It's a circular round San Pedro. La oficina de tourismo has never heard of it and advises a taxi to the beach for old ladies. Now you know!

One day we took the bus to Puerto Banus.  Interesting in the educational sense.  Not really my scene!  The beach is beautiful, but so frustrating that it is covered with jelly fish.  I learnt a new Spanish word. Meduzas.  lovely word horrible beast
Could not swim! water ever where and not a drop to swim in.
