S'up, playa? Why are you so compelling to so many of us? There most be more to it than simple sun and water and scenery.
I figure beaches hold their immense appeal not only for their many forms of toplessness but also their inclusiveness.
In a world that often creates divisions and barriers, the beach endures. They speak to the socialist in all of us. No matter how crowded it is, you can always find your little spot of real estate, often no bigger than a towel.
There's room for everyone, from opposite ends of every spectrum - rich and poor, old and young, families and singles, tanned and British.
Malaga has a number of them - El Palo and Pedregalego for the locals and language students, Malagueta and Misericordia for locals and tourists, and more on either side of the coast.
These are not the white lush beaches of travel brochures, but they definitely do the trick. The water is stunning, you can walk for miles as the small waves roll in at your feet, and a wide promenade dotted with inexpensive restaurants, cafes, ice cream shops and free outdoor exercise spots lines each one.
More images below from another great week in Malaga, particularly as Amsterdam went a little retro with wet wintry weather today.

Because Misericordia loves company.
