After a bit of a stressful day in Morocco, we decided to take it easy the last couple of days that we had left in the Costa del Sol.
One town that my cousin had heard was good for the beach and shopping was Torremolinos. So, we decided to check it out. When we arrived, we decided to pay 4euros for the day to have beach chairs and a sun umbrella to ensure comfort and peace. It was so worth it!
We spent the day having sangria, swimming in the very “refreshing” sea, eating helados and relaxing. Thankfully, not much shopping was done that day.
In the evening, we stopped in Fuengirola for the Catholic Festival of the Sea where the people drag a statue of the Virgin del Carmen from the church to the Sea in hopes of blessing the fish harvest for the year. It was an interesting procession and a good cultural moment to experience.
Afterwards, we found some dinner and then managed to make it to a night club. My cousin and I did some tequila shots and danced a bit, but overall it was a very quiet place to party. Good fun and pictures coming later.
The last day was spent much in the same way. I was quite tired for some reason and so I just hung out at the beach and went for a swim. The other ladies did a bit of shopping and overall we just relaxed the rest of the day.
One more entry to come on Espana!
Until then,
