Marbella, Spain & Malaga Round 2

I'm not sure why I've slacked on finishing up our Southern Spain trip, maybe like when we were on our trip I didn't want it to end. No, seriously, on our last day in Spain, while we were soaking up the sun laying on the beach looking out on the Mediterranean, I got mad because it was our last day on vacation. Usually I don't get mad when we have to go back to the real world, but maybe it was the fact that this would be our last vacation for a while. Or maybe because it was just such a great vacation. (IDK if anyone really noticed how "luckily" was the word I used the most in writing the Southern Spain posts, but everything worked out on it's own.)

After leaving Ronda, we headed down to Marabella, a little town in the heart of the Costa De Sol. We headed down to Marbella for the soul purpose of going to the Hard Rock Cafe. I'm not sure why, but Drew loves the Hard Rock Cafe. Every big city we go to usually has a Hard Rock, and we find it so he can get his picture in front of the sign that says Hard Rock.

The drive down from Ronda to Marbella, is an interesting one. All down hill, since Ronda is in the mountains. I found a video on youtube that shows the windy turns around the mountain. Drew loved it. He says he just wishes we were in our SUV because it handles way better than the little Toyota rental car.

This isn't my video, I got it off of youtube, just to give you an idea of what the road was like.
