Keep it down guys

Cádiz to Malaga/Pedregalejo

We drove back to Málaga vía the picturesque village Setentil de las Bodegas, a famous town where the white washed buildings are set into the shadows of the overhanging rock. The town is often named on lists of the most beautiful streets in the world.

After dropping off our rental car near the airport we took an Uber to our apartment by the sea for the next two weeks.

We knew our apartment was right on the beach but weren't prepared for how we would be right on top of a busy area. It was the first day of really hot weather at the end of Spring as well as a Saturday, with the temperature reaching 31, so lots of Malagueñas had come to the beach.

Unfortunately the apartment's windows didn't block all of the noise although, at least the bedroom is set back from the edge of the plaza, making it quite bearable. It's quite strange how we were told that we aren't to make any noise after 11pm at the risk of a hefty fine, when the bars practically at our front door don't close until 2am and don't seem to have such a restriction.

As it was very hot we finally embraced Spain's time for dinner and headed out at 9pm. We chose a chiringuito (beach bar restaurant) close to home and ordered a large grilled lubina (sea bass) to share. The fish was placed on a stake and cooked the traditional way over hot coals in an old boat on the sand. Our meal was finally cooked and served to us at 10pm, and the place was only just getting going!.
