MALAGA 
Malaga is a lovely city in southern Spain on the Costa del Sol .... visit the house where Picasso was born, enjoy the architecture, restaurants/tapas, BUT be weary of being robbed.  As a single woman, I had a young man of about 26 come through my 3rd story balcony doors which closely adjoined the next balcony at 3am ... I fortunately woke up to prevent him from taking my camera, money, passport ... he managed to get completely inside my room, pass by my bed, before I woke up to go to the bathroom ... I never heard him .... I only knew he was in my room when I turned on the light, after going to the bathroom to see what time it was .... so if you think you are safe on a higher level check out the balcony ... how close it is to the next one.  I'm very sure it was an inside job ... not a guest or intruder but someone connected to the pension ... Arab .... who invaded my domain.   A Dutch girl on the street told me to be weary of talking to people as she scurried by.   Much of Spain felt somewhat unsafe to me.  Enjoy but be careful, especially if you are a woman, traveling alone.
