I am looking for a cheap place to stay at Costa del Sol. We are going there in October and we do not want to spend time at the beach. We would like to visit many places by car or buses. The most of the time we will be outdoor with photocamera and a lot of ideas in our heads

So: do you know any private apartments which are not so expensive like "real" hotels, and which we can e-mail them to book it for one week? Maybe you have some friends at the Costa del Sol who can rent us just a room for a week? We think about zone between Malaga and Benalmedena, but we are open for any other places.
I will be very thankful for any help. I can offer you a photographic impression after our Costa-del-Sol stay.
Greetings!
Alfer
