In 2011 my family and I travelled to Spain for the very first time. Our destination city was the capital, Madrid. It was an incredible experience and we vowed to return. From 2012 to 2017 we returned to Spain on eight separate holidays further extending our cities which included Barcelona, Valencia, Rioja region, Bilbao, San Sebastian, Sevilla, Granada, Cordoba, Jerez, Cadiz, Marbella, Mallorca, and Málaga. It wasn’t until our holiday in Málaga in the summer of 2016 that our destiny forever changed. We were so impressed with Málaga in terms of safety, cuisine, sights, beaches, and it’s international airport that literally links you to the rest of the world. We decided to purchase our second home and picked Málaga as our destination. In 2017 we purchased our first apartment in the historic centre, and since then we completed another project of four additional apartments.

Situated on the second floor of a newly constructed three storey building, Picasso City Centre 1D is one of three similar sized units in the portfolio which provides access to the building’s communal rooftop. Calle Duende is a narrow and quiet street which offers the ultimate in privacy yet accessible to all the major attractions within the pedestrian zone. Nestled between the Mercado Central de Atarazanas and the shopping street of Calle Larios, this boutique and equipped apartment has all the comforts and amenities to make your travel to Malaga feel like home away from home. The apartment is fitted with a full kitchen, 3-piece bathroom, living/dining area, flat screen SMART TV, intercom, and free WiFi. Kitchen includes a hob, fridge, microwave, toaster, Nespresso machine, plates, cutlery, glasses, mugs, pots, and pans. Bathroom includes soap and shampoo dispensers, and hairdryer. Bedroom includes an iron and iron board as well. The building is equipped with a communal washer/dryer located on the rooftop. It also contains a staircase, elevator for easy access, central heating, and air conditioning.

The apartment is located inside Malaga’s pedestrian zone of the historic centre where vehicles other than taxis are not permitted. The only traffic you will experience are pedestrians during your walks! Noise from vehicles and scooters are non-existent. The only noise you will hear are patrons in restaurants, bars, and cafes. The historic centre has many sights, monuments, museums, and parks to visit.
