Working in Málaga
Escaping the Icelandic winter
Iceland is a good place to be except in winter, and in particular January. It’s okay until after New Year’s, but then the darkness starts to gets to you. I’ve been meaning to try to work from a sunny place abroad for many years, and now I finally took the plunge and rented an apartment in Málaga for four weeks. I was worried about working remotely for such a long time but it turned out really well.
I was in Málaga a long time ago and had good memories from there. It’s a nice small city with a lively atmosphere, not too touristy and very affordable. Málaga is where Picasso was born and there’s an excellent gallery there in his honor, also a new Pompidou modern-art museum. The city sports a large, working harbor area which has been nicely integrated with a promenade and a cruise ship terminal. Loved to go the evening and have a beer in the sun.
The three weekends I was there I rented a car and explored the surroundings on the south coast, from Tarifa to Almeria. I have to say that Málaga was the best place, although as a ship photography enthusiast it was great to get to Gibraltar and Algeciras where a lot of ships pass through for bunkering.
