and we usually go to Florida for our wedding anniversary every december but this year thought we would stay closer to home and not suffer that awful flight (if the planes ever take to the sky again!! 
) So as we haven't been before we are going to try somewhere close ish to Malaga as we don't think it will be as cold down there, but we could be wrong. We are going to do it ourselves and get a flight and hire car then find either an apartment or villa (romantic and must have a private hot tub!! I know, I know but I love them!!) I have found some properties that look quite nice but I'm absolutely lost with the areas :que. To give you an idea of what we like, we are mid 40's and love going for nice meals, walks along quiet beaches, nice quiet bars, being able to drive to picturesque places with a bit of history, the real spain (if thats possible) ohhhh and almost forgot.....................shopping!!
I will list some of the areas I have found so far but I'm also open to any other suggestions and if you know of a place with a private hot tub I would be interested to hear about it.

and when we went to Florida last year it was terrible, we had rain most days and I mean really heavy rain and it was not warm!!! I had my jacket on 
If anyone has any info on either of these places I would really appreciate it. As long as I can get some Cava and some decent food to cook in the villa I will be happy
