Our train arrived in Malaga at about 8:00 Friday night. We went to the car rental place to see if we could find an alternative way to still get to Tangier. We found it interesting that Hertz said they would rent us a car without an international drivers license but they said Spanish law says we need one to drive in Spain. They explained we would only have a problem if something occurred that the police would have to be involved. We didn't rent the car and it looks like the day trip to Tangier is a no go.
We had a 20 minute cab ride to our hotel and still made it to a beachside restaurant for dinner at 10:00, just as the sun went down. People eat bizarrely late here. Our hotel has a restaurant and they don't even start serving dinner until 7:30. After dinner last night, the four of walked a portion of the board walk but still made it up to our rooftop bar just before midnight to see the fireworks celebrating both the summer solstice and the feast of a saint (Perhaps San Juan).
Saturday was scheduled to be our beach day. We rented chaise chairs and an umbrella for the day. The rented umbrella and our sunscreen seemed to work. Even though we spent some time in the water nobody got horribly sunburned. For anyone who follows the UV index, you know 7,8,9 is dangerously sunny. Today the UV index here was 11.
After showers we dressed and had dinner at a different beachside restaurant. Nobody finished all their food, we shared a bottle of wine and paid for 4 waters and it was still less than $22 per person. Prices here seem to be reasonable compared to NYC... And Door County.
We'll be in Malaga again tomorrow.
