Day 15 - Freeby time

Sevilla to Málaga - Airbnb

Another train trip but this time a normal (not so fast) train. Continuing with the Game of Thrones theme, we passed through the town of Osuna where some scenes were filmed, apparently it has made a huge difference to this town with poor employment as people now flock to visit it. 


On arriving in Malaga we caught a taxi to our airbnb "penthouse" - but it's really just a room on the top level of the building, nicely furnished by Ikea, with great views of the old city.

The view from our "penthouse"

We headed off on our first walk to be pleasantly surprised because unlike Sevilla where we had a 20-30 minute walk to the main attarctions, here we are much closer and the city seems more compact. We quickly found the sea and the modern promenade with a beach that looked OK even though the sand was grey and coarse. 

As it was Sunday we managed to score free entry to the new Centre Georges Pompidou (a pretty cool modern art museum) and to the cathedral (fortunately, as we are against paying to enter churches filled with gold and valuable artwork ....)

We stopped for the obligatory (by now) sangria and then for a change found a nice steak restaurant for dinner. When we found the steak a little under done for our liking they brought out a small hot stone for us to finish cooking it to our liking - perfect!
