Malaga has been a great place to hang out. I’m leaving Adrian’s place today, heading to Tarifa to chill out some more and think about a trip to Morocco.

I left Ara’s place early Wednesday and caught the bus out to the El Palo neighborhood east of downtown Malaga. I arrived here around 8 am, Adrian let me in and I crashed on his couch promptly and caught a few more hours of sleep. After a while, we both woke up and had some toast and nutella and coffee, then set out on a walk around the immediate area. Adrian packed his darbouka (a small djembe-like drum) and we walked out to the beach.

It was very cool that Adrian had so much time to hang out. We took many walks, had many beers and shots at the chupeteria Urbano and saw some great flamenco. Adrian is a good friend, we have so much in common and it seems like I´ve known him for years. I was their first couchsurfer and it has been one of the best experiences I´ve had so far. His flat-mate Sarah was excellent as well and it was great fun to meet all of her friends at the various spots around town. Everyone was wonderful! I didin´t get to talk to Arturo and José much, but they both seems like great people too.

The weather was decent, it was a bit cold on Friday, but it´s sunny again today and a little warmer. I really enjoyed Malaga and will return here for sure in the next month. I had mentioned basing myself in Sevilla, but Malaga is definitely the place.

Anyway. I´m at the bus station and have a ticket for the 15:30 to Tarifa. I´ve got a few minutes left on my internet time before I head over to get something to eat. I´m gonna go back to the place I at the other day called Woking. Very good stir-fry type food, very fresh.

I have pictures, but am also having camera problems. And, I didn´t get around to buying an iPod charger here in Malaga either! I´ll upload as soon as possible, I hope!
