    What hotel did you stay in when you were there? I stayed once in El Puerto and it was terrible. A lot of people swore by the Hotel Angela although it was closed when I was there and other people described it as "God's waiting room" because it was full of elderly people. The Yaramar looked good though.
    I stayed in the Confortel which is a new four star hotel opened in 2005. It is directly in front of Los Boliches railway station and only a one minute walk from the train, just a few blocks further out from town than the Yaramar. The accommodation was luxurious, and there was a good choice of food in the first floor restaurant, where I had breakfast. It is a fourteen storey hotel and I had an en suite room on the seventh floor, with a balcony with a sea view. There was a quiet ambience about the place, and most of the other guests whom I saw at breakfast were elderly. I had my evening meals in a very nice seafood restaurant on the shore almost directly opposite the hotel. The flight to Malaga last Thursday morning was packed full of boisterous stag and hen groups, but I can only assume they all went off to a different resort once they reached Malaga Airport.

    Sounds good, definitely an improvement on some of the Franco era hotels there. I take it you just took the train from Malaga airport to Fuengirola.
    I would think Torremolinos might be the destination of choice for the lager-swillers on your flight. There aren't so many "British" pubs in Fuengirola.
