The stalactite cave and the tour of the park with monkeys was a hit. The city tour with an old Toyota minibus but a funny local tour guide was fun. The shopping trip was rather disappointing and boring because it's not cheaper, as they say, except maybe cigarettes and alcohol, which don't interest me. But I ate fish & chips on Main Street. The journey from Málaga took forever. You should be at the meeting point by 6:35 a.m. at the latest and the bus with a tour guide arrived shortly after 7:00 a.m. And then it took almost 3 hours to get to our destination because we had to make several stops along the way to pick up the others. It would be advisable to tell you from the start that the distance of barely 140 km would take 3 hours to prepare for. Otherwise the disappointment was already great during the outward journey.

The day was extraordinarily long, which is understandable with multiple stops made in Torremolinos. For those of us at the Malaga meeting point, we all had to find our way to the single meeting point, but we’d stop for one or two at several hotels in Torremolinos, so in both directions, it added time. We were also surprised there were four different tours on one bus. Also commendable for ecological reasons, but it was a lot of gathering issues at appointed times. In other words, a mini-bus of 25 or so direct from one stop in Malaga and one in Torremolinos would probably have shaved an hour or more off our trip.

Nice trip, but a bit tiring that the guide spoke 4 languages the whole trip from Fuengirola to Gibraltar. Was light headed when we arrived. All right with 3 hours of your own time before the rest of the programme. A bit of management and waiting when we were to be divided into groups according to language, but a fantastic English-speaking guide. Exciting trip in a minibus, but little time in the cave and to see the monkeys.
