There's no denying its a long way... but its so pretty. And a great way to catch up with each other about our respective weeks and make plans for the future. And add into it the exercise, that really you don't notice your doing as your too busy chatting and taking in the sights.

And if you find yourself tiring, just stop off at one of the gorgeous chiringuito along the way.  A particular favorite of ours is El Chiringuito. Best mojitos EVER

The coastal road leads all along the costa del sol, but we turn off once we hit Marbella old town. Its one of my favourite places in Spain, and it always makes me feel like im on vacay.

We order cafe con leche, zumo de naranja (freshly squeezed and tastes amazing) and something to nibble on.  La Cuisine also has a fabulous roof bar with views over the old town, perfect for cocktails with friends.
