It’s almost Christmas but Malaga is still giving s It’s almost Christmas but Malaga is still giving summer vibes ☀️🎅🏼

If you’re planning a trip to the Costa del Sol this winter, there are plenty of beautiful beaches to take advantage of while the crowds are away 🏖️

One that I’d highly recommend is Cabopino, located near Marbella Old Town and just a 45 minute drive from Malaga Centro 🚘

Thanks @nomadix.ca for the beautiful water-resistant festival blankets! 🩱
