Spain Travel Diary | 3 day getaway to Malaga

11/03/2020 | Reageer

Last week I went to Malaga with my good friend and colleague Michelle. This city trip was a last minute decision, so that made it even more fun. We decided to relax for 3 days in a much warmer city to catch up, because we hadn’t seen each other for a few months. On March 4 we flew to Malaga with a very nice crew from our home base Eindhoven Airport, Standby. I had a three-day weekend, so as I had done before, a city trip suited perfectly. We arrived in the evening so we changed our outfit in our AirBnb apartment and then went out for dinner. By the way, our Airbnb was called Malaga City Breaks. What quickly struck me was the enormous hospitality of this city.

The place where we went to eat was called Cerveceria Los Gatos, just a few minutes by foot from our Airbnb. The restaurant had a great atmosphere ! There we drank the famous Malaga wine (delicious, recommended), had a nice conversation with Spaniards at the table next to us and ate steak. The table filled with free gin and tonics afterwards and inside we got a free dessert and champagne from the staff. It was very kind! At the end of this evening we had a coffee at Chester – a cool cocktail bar.

Afgelopen week ben ik met mijn goede vriendin en collega Michelle naar Malaga geweest. Deze citytrip was het best wel een last minute beslissing, dus dat maakte het nog leuker. We hadden besloten om 3 dagen lekker even te ontspannen in een andere, veel warmere stad en bij te kletsen, omdat we elkaar al een paar maanden niet hadden gezien. We vlogen op 4 maart vanaf onze thuisbasis Eindhoven Airport, IPB (stand-by), naar Malaga met een hele fijne crew. Ik had een 3 daags weekend, dus zoals ik vaker had gedaan, past een citytrip daar prima in. We kwamen in de avond aan, dus waren in ons AirBnb appartement gaan omkleden, om daarna gelijk uiteten te gaan. De naam van onze Airbnb is trouwens Malaga City Breaks. Wat me al snel opviel, was de enorme gastvrijheid van deze stad.

De plek waar we gingen eten heet Cerveceria Los Gatos en zat op een paar minuten loopafstand van de Airbnb. Het (restaurant) was erg gezellig! Daar dronken we de bekende Malaga wijn (heerlijk, aanrader), hadden we een leuk gesprek met Spaanse mensen aan de tafel naast ons en aten steak. De tafel werd al snel volgebouwd met gratis gin-tonics en binnen kregen we een gratis toetje en champagne van het personeel. Het was heel gezellig! Als afsluiter hebben we lekker laat nog een koffietje gedronken bij Chester – een hippe cocktailbar.

The second day in Malaga, we went for brunch at Brunch Corner, which was really around the corner from our Airbnb. Nice place with super sweet staff! We also received many nice recommendations there.

We walked through many beautiful streets towards the coast, and rented a bicycle from QQ bikes for about 10 euros pp. Cycling along the coast we enjoyed the warm sun. Finally we went back to the more central Malaga for lunch. Unfortunately I forgot the name of the nice terrace where we had lunch in the afternoon! Friendly staff, by the way. We received a free glass of pink champagne. After returning our bikes, we got changed and dined at a tapas restaurant called Vineria Cervantes. With a glass of red wine we enjoyed several delicious tapas dishes. We asked the staff to choose us so we had stuffed peppers, breaded shrimp, red potato beef and duck as the last dish. I really recommend this place! It was super cozy, had nice staff and the food was delicious and great in price. For dessert they made a kind of apple pie dough with ice cream combi especially for us. Once at home we watched a movie and went to sleep.

De tweede dag in Malaga waren we gaan brunchen bij Brunch Corner , wat ook echt om de hoek van onze Airbnb zat. Leuke plek met super lief personeel! We kregen al snel tips van leuke bezienswaardigheden.

We zijn richting de kust gaan lopen door veel mooie straatjes, en hebben bij QQ bikes een fiets gehuurd voor ongeveer 10 euro pp Al fietsend langs de kustlijn genoten we van het warme zonnetje. Welke zijn we terug gegaan naar het wat meer centrale Malaga om te gaan lunchen. Helaas ben ik de naam van het leuke terras vergeten waar we gaan lunchen in de middag! Aardig personeel trouwens ook. Als afsluiter kregen we een gratis glas roze champagne. Nadat we onze fietsen hadden teruggebracht werden we naar kleden en uiteten gegaan bij een tapasrestaurant genaamd Vineria Cervantes. Met een glas rode wijn genoten we van diverse heerlijke tapas gerechten die we voor ons hadden laten kiezen. We hebben genoten van gevulde pepers, gepaneerde garnalen, rundvlees met rode aardappel en als laatste gerechtje eend. Dit restaurant vind ik trouwens een ontzettende aanrader! Super gezellig, leuk personeel en het eten was heerlijk en prima qua prijs. Als toetje hadden ze speciaal voor ons een soort appeltaart deeg met ijs combi gemaakt. Eenmaal thuis hadden we nog geen filmpje gekeken en waren we gaan slapen.

The last day our flight was supposed to leave at 8am so we had a whole day to spend. We went for breakfast at Julia’s bakery near our Airbnb, recommended by our taxi driver. I had an Egg Benedict with a soy cappuccino and shared a slice of delicious red velvet cake. We went for a walk and visited Alcazaba, an old castle, for a view of the city, where we walked around and relaxed. Finally we had an early lunch at the place where we also ate yesterday, and then we went for a walk, because we wanted to get to the airport quite early.
De laatste dag zouden we rond 8 uur gaan vliegen, dus hadden we nog geen hele dag te beoefenen. We zijn ontbijten bij Julia’s bakery vlak bij onze AirBnb, op aanraden van de taxichauffeur. Ik had een Egg Benedict met een soja cappuccino, en deelde een punt heerlijke red velvet cake. We waren wat gaan wandelen en hebben Alcazaba bezocht, een oud kasteel, voor uitzicht over de stad. Uiteindelijk waren we vroeg gaan lunchen bij de plek waar we gisteren ook aten, en zijn daarna nog wat gaan wandelen, omdat we vroeg naar de luchthaven zouden gaan vertrekken.
Thank you for reading my travel diary!

80 second solo trip throwback to Medellín - April this year 🇨🇴✈️
My second time in Colombia. 

One spontaneous decision — and suddenly, I was on my way back to Colombia.
Booked just one day before flying, this trip took me from Madrid to Medellín — my second time here since 2022.

I had no fixed plan. Just a craving for sunshine, freedom, and that familiar energy that makes Colombia feel so alive.

My days were filled with small, beautiful moments: breakfast at Hija Mija, wandering through El Poblado, visiting Comuna 13 with its colors and street art, slow mornings with coffee at Pergamino, and fun nights out in Provenza.

One of my highlights was finally crossing paragliding off my list — floating above the city between clouds and mountains, completely free.

And then, the simple joy of hostel life — laughing and talking for hours with my roommates, Patricia, Frankie, and Charlie. I’ll never stop loving how quickly women connect in those shared dorms; it’s instant trust and warmth.

This time, Medellín felt calmer and softer than my first trip, but still full of heart, color, and kindness.
Not just a place I visited — a place I felt.

If you’ve ever thought about visiting Colombia, let this be your sign.
Go — stay in a hostel, meet people from all over, try the coffee, fly above the city, and let Medellín surprise you too.
