Sun & Serenity on the Costa del Sol
Review Submitted: March 28, 2009
Date of Stay: February 2009
We spent a relaxing mid-winter month escaping the northern cold and basking in balmy sunshine in Rincon de la Victoria on the Mediterranean Sea, near Malaga. This apartment has a magnificent view of the Sea, palm trees, colorful fishing boats resting on the beach and cliffs to the west. Below the balcony, a seaside promenade extends the length of the beach and beyond and is a pleasant walk in daytime and evenings. Many restaurants with outdoor seating line the promenade.
The apartment is also very well situated within walking distance to banks, supermarkets, the weekly outdoor mercado, bakeries, post office, clothing and houseware stores, services and buses to Malaga and other locations.
Judith and Jim, the apartment owners, who live nearby, were extremely welcoming, pleasant, helpful and accomodating.
The apartment is spacious, bright, comfortably furnished and equipped for cooking, eating, laundry, BBC TV access and relaxation on the balcony. We felt very much "at home".
From Rincon, we took day trips to Malaga, Antequera, Gibraltar, Nerja and the white hill towns of Frigiliana and Mijas. It was also an easy drive to Seville where we spent three delightful days.
This was our first experience of Spain. Andalucia charmed us and we left hoping to return.
