Backtracking, and after crossing Málaga city and the Guadalhorce, we enter the coastal part of Málaga, which is more than sun and beach. It is a singular Málaga, colourful, stretched between the sierra and the sea. Sunny with white towns leaning on the sierra, balconies towards the Mediterranean in Benalmadena and Mijas, the valley of Ojén, Istán and Benahavís. Busy and cosmopolitan world which, from Torremolinos to Sabinillas, turns the N-340 road into the longest street in the world and in Marbella goes into the foot of the sierra, in hillocks and riverbeds, between carpets of golf, houses and gardens. The same world as usual in the vegetable gardens and fields in Estepona, Casares and Manilva, and the small fishing ports which are left on the coast and which today seek refuge in the oldest suburbs of the coastal towns. Suburbs which are often made into Cinderellas in a festive Málaga, full of life.
