old world on the coast - 04/26/01 09:32 PM
Hello all -
I'm going to be in Spain from May 24 - August 24. Going to do 4-5 weeks in Madrid, and then want to do a similar amount of time in another city. I love the idea of living somewhere on the Mediterranean, since I never have lived by water, and not being a super hot weather person, realize it would give some relief, but I also want to live in a city that has the old, more village like feel - places that look/feel like Granada/Sevilla/Toledo/Salamanca. But in the cities that I've researched on the coast, those that are large enough to show up on maps and/or have a study spanish program like DonQuijote.org look like they have become very tourist oriented and modern - the pictures I see of Malaga, Alicante have skyscraper looking buildings, not narrow streets w/ cobblestones and old architecture. So I'm hoping you guys can suggest a city that fits what I'm looking for.
Thanks a lot,
Brian
