I have a flight booked to Malaga for April 7th. Me and 2 mates were going to stay in a mate's dad's villa, only for said mate, to be unable to go. So now me and one mate have 3 flights to Malaga, no accommodation and no plans.

So what should we do? Find somewhere cheap is a good idea but where?

I think it might be more practical to just write the flights off, because with no time until we should have been going there's not a lot of options.

Will your mate's dad not let you stay there anyway?

Because it's so late you should be able to get a good deal on accomdation

loads of hotels around where do you want to go exactly?

In truth me and the mate, that can still go, know our mate to be the most disorganised cunt there is. We don't even think he asked his Dad in the first place. :)


Yeah, i'm looking through Alpharooms.com at the moment and i've found them dirt cheap in the past.


No idea, where ever is cheap and good. I don't know any resorts on the Costa Del Sol other than somewhere called Peurto De La Duquesa that i went to when young. We were supposed to be going to Puerto Banus, but i hear that ain't cheap, so don't want to go there.

What's Malaga like?

puerto banus is full of russian mafia and costs a bomb and its shit.

Depends what sort of holiday you are after, Malaga is a fucking brilliant city, its kind of like a spanish version of Brighton.

You after beach, culture, city break, lads holiday, quiet place?

I'm after a quiet break, don't like beaches (although love the coast) and love cities. My mate's a one man spunk machine and if he's not wanking he's thinking about it, so he'll want some where full of flange. I want good food and that's about it to be honest. :)

Right, hire a car and go to a little village called Mijas its about 6 miles north of fuengirola and a 15 minute drive from airport, its up in the mountains and is fucking beautiful, its away from all the hoards on the coast but close enough to drive down for a night on the town in fuengirola. Great restaurants, brilliant tapas and incredible views. I have stayed in the hotel Mijas but its hardly a flange hotel but is great with a lovely pool and a bar by the pool looking out across the med.

Cheers Mex, that sounds shit hot. Don't know whether my mate will agree to it, but i'll make up some shit if it looks good. I can't stand being in ex-pat land and having to eat dog food on chips and that sort of shit. :)

What's fuengirola like, because that and Torremolinos seem cheap and likely to be where my mate will lean towards?

Is this the hotel yeah?

18-30 hell, its brits on the piss and everything you imagine it to be, the beauty of mijas is its only 15 minutes from that but fucking great to get away from it, drive in at night for the whole bottom of town effect.

yes thats the hotel, my sister had her wedding reception there and we have been going there for 15 years, my mum and dad go there 4 or 5 times a year.

Malaga is great and the Picasso museum is superb, plus check to see if malaga are at home in la liga, only about 20 euros to get in

Sweet. Yeah i'm too old for 18-30s shit, although my mate will be foaming at the mouth at the idea of banging 18 year olds all week. :)

I'm liking the idea of that Hotel and am also thinking about Malaga. Didn't think about the Football, that's an ace idea, although we do have to catch Swindon on the Monday, so Sky is a must! Did notice the Picasso museum and would HAVE to go to that, went to some Museum of his before and loved it.

Malaga at home on the 11th to Sevilla. I'm now quite excited about a trip which wasn't going to happen. :)

i had a knife pulled on me in fuengirola.

By a Brit or a Spaniard? (That's a stupid question isn't it?)

spaniard.

See i knew it was a stupid question. Those cunty Spaniards drink too much and always end up trying to stab someone up when there's no bulls around. :)

Thats a local derby, andulcian pride and all that, bit like us v the slave traders, you might want to pop in the day before to get a ticket.

Malaga have only just finished refurbing their stadium too so it should be all shiny and the bogs shouldn't have too much piss all over the floors from blokes with pepper-pot bell-ends, as opposed to the more conventional salt dispenser-type helmets (which I've got).
Also you will hear plenty of English/British accents because Malaga are well known for having a fair few ex-pat Brit season-ticket holders/members.
And Sevilla fans are amongst the most passionate in Spain, should be a good atmos.
Look out for Sevilla's winger/midfielder called Jesus Navas, he's short and skinny and fucking brilliant. Vicente Del Bosque wants to take him to South Africa but it's touch & go because he has a fear of flying.
All things considered, a good fixture to be there for.

........oh and if you're a smoker, you can still puff away in Spanish stadia. But if you're not........then........erm.......you might have some cunt blowing smoke in your face all through the game.

last time i went to see malaga the smell of weed was fucking overpowering and lush

 I spent a bit of time in Malaga many moons ago...in fact just after the death of Franco. Don't remember a whole lot about it....which may have had something to do with the overpowering smell of weed.....
