This two-storey Gibralfaro apartment places Malaga at your fingertips, making it ideal for both sun lovers and those who like to holiday in the city.

The upstairs bedroom even has a private balcony, perfect for newlyweds who want some privacy. The communal pool is also sure to be a crowd-pleaser. That said, with the nearest beach only 2km away, you might want to spend most of your time there.
