Malaga-Este
Apart from the cafe, this is just one of the many surprises in one of the largest botanical gardens in Europe. Bit of a shame it is right next to the highway now. Still a great place to explore. 

- There is a shuttle service to downtown.

Sile

If you take a day trip to Morocco just note that the two hour drive to the ferry may not be the situation off season when they make more stops. Our day started out with a 5:30 AM pick up and we didn't get back until 11:00 PM. Plan accordingly.

5/5 - Excellent
