Hotel Well and Come Malaga
Very zen, culturally relevant (Picasso was present)yet practical and friendly. Staff were helpful, kind and effective. Some staff looked overwhelmed and in need of sleep as they looked anxious and had bags under their eyes. Maybe increasing staff would alleviate the burden. No point on taking care ...
