ShannoninSpain

After years of dreaming, searching, telling everyone I knew that I hoped to one day own a place of my own in Spain; it happened. Two weeks ago today! It’s been a whirlwind and my blog is jet lagged, but here we go…

I’ll go back from here… the facade, the views of the catedral, the terrazas, and the location-increíble.

I saw this piso (flat) and looked at 10 others during a whirlwind of showings with my magnificent friend and agent Robert Mangum (Coldwell Banker of course). It needed some love, had been in Don Carlos’ family for over 100 years, but ahhhh una joya-a diamond in the rough.

oh and one of my favorite restaurants in Málaga is outside the front door…https://mesonsantiagosedeno.es/ Santi’s family opened the restaurant 30 years ago on c Correo Viejo; one of the oldest streets in Málaga.

***for history buffs-“c Correo Viejo receives this name because the Post Office offices were located on this street at the end of the 19th century. On this street, as indicated by a marble plaque on the façade of number 11, (the first house on the right, at its entrance through Plaza del Siglo), Don José de Salamanca y Mayol was born on May 23, 1811, who would be a member of the Cortes for Málaga, Minister of Finance. He participated in the construction of the Madrid-Aranjuez railway line (1851) and later in the Madrid-Zaragoza line, but what he is most remembered for is the construction of an entire new neighborhood in Madrid (Salamanca neighborhood), whose large investments were the cause of his last and definitive ruin.” Facebook Historia de Málaga
