Barcelona? Yes, Barcelona.

¿ Qué tal? or should I say  Que tal estàs? Last weekend I went to Barcelona! It was one of my Top 15 ''to visit'' places of my bucket list and now it's finally checked . It is definitely one of my favorite places in Spain. Barcelona looks like a whole different country in Spain due to its two official languages Catalan and Spanish. I didn´t know but Catalan is very present in the society. All bus stops, addresses, most of advertisments, name of shops are in Catalan. It felt like I was in a totally different country! That came to me by surprise and I think it is a very interesting fact. Everybody does speak Spanish there but all the rest is in Catalan. About the architecture... it is unique.  The most known monuments in Barcelona are designed by the same person, Antoni Gaudí! Parque Güell: One of the most famous tourist attractions in Barcelona. If you plan to go there BUY TICKETS IN ADVANCE. Don´t make the mistake of going there thinking that th

Alhambra of Granada

¡ Buenas! Life is not just working after all! Last weekend I went to Granada. It is about 1,5 hours by bus from Málaga. The cities most known tourist attraction is a fortress called Alhambra. It is definetely one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. Málaga's fortress and castle Alcazaba and Gibralfaro don't even get close to Alhambra. Here are a few pics: Perfect place to have a picnic and learn more about history. The city of Granada itself is also very beautiful. There a lot of nice restaurants, parks, pubs and cafés. One thing that surprised me the most was that there are these mountains which on top you could see snow! I totally recommend that place to visit. You will not get disappointed. P.S: If you plan to visit Alhambra buy the tickets at least 2 weeks before. They are usually sold out so gotta be quick! + if you like books right in the bus station you can find a guy selling all kind of classics in English and Spa

Experience with guests

¿ Qué tal? So far I've done quite a few check ins, so I've experienced all kind of problems and situations with guests. Sometimes happens to not get the door opened so I have to call for somebody's help, forget the pen so the guests can't sign the contract or forget to tell some information that might be important like what to do during the checkout (which is just leave the keys of the apartment on the table and close the door). Mistakes are gonna happen and everybody here understands that. Even the staff that have been here for years make mistakes sometimes. So don't you worry if things don't go as planned at first. With mistakes you learn. For you that is reading this and will start working at Living4malaga, keep this on mind before the check in: 1. Don't forget the PEN (without one the guest won't be able to sign the contract) 2. Don't forget the contract itself  'cause you know...3. Don't forget the credit card machine in case the p
