Málaga 🇪🇸 truly stole my heart. This vibrant coastal city in southern Spain is full of life, charm and that warm Mediterranean energy you can’t help but fall in love with.

From the moment we arrived, the vibe was just right – relaxed, romantic and effortlessly beautiful. The sea views, the soft golden light, the sound of Spanish guitar drifting through the streets – it felt like something out of a dream.

We spent our days exploring the Alcazaba, a stunning Moorish castle overlooking the city, wandering through cobbled lanes and stopping at cozy cafés for tapas and tinto de verano. The food in Málaga is absolutely delicious – fresh seafood, rich flavors and melt-in-your-mouth churros dipped in thick hot chocolate. Heaven.

One of the most unforgettable moments of the trip was our day trip to the Alhambra in Granada. It’s hard to describe how stunning it is – intricate architecture, peaceful courtyards and views that take your breath away. A true masterpiece of Moorish design and history. Walking through its halls felt like stepping into another world.

And of course, the cherry on top: celebrating my birthday on a rooftop, under the stars, with a view of the city lights and the gentle sea breeze in the air. Simple, romantic and absolutely perfect.

Málaga gave me everything I needed – sun, sea, amazing food, beautiful history and memories I’ll cherish forever. I can’t wait to return!
