Dadyassa Loc: Spain

An Arabic-style structure that is a glowing red on the outside and decorated with glazed tile and bas-reliefs in the exquisite Nazarite tradition. Fountains, a heritage from the Muslim culture, flank the castle, and its exterior commands magnificent views of the Benalmádena beaches. Exhibitions, conferences, concerts, various cultural events and civil marriage ceremonies (only on Saturdays) are now held in it.

I would bring your dslr, there are some awesome shot opertunities in Malaga City and also Barcelona and Granada, I haven`t been to the other two yet although they are probably similar.
Enjoy your holiday. :-)

Finally found you!!Dadyassa
Interesting photos but what really surprised me was seeing my dining room chairs in fourth down. I bought a set in California about 38 years ago with chairs like the six in photo - almost exactly and it called them English Manor style

Hey I haven`t been hiding :-) got lots of photos on here, do a search.
I think they look more French style. ;-)
It is a Castle from when Morroco owned this part of Spain, I doubt if they are original and they probably bought them from one of the many Morrocan traders here now.
