MEET YOUR HOST(s):

We are the Pittarelli Family, Aimee & Chris, and we have 3 children, 1 girl and 2 boys, Sophia 10, Alex 7, and Andy 5.  After Chris retired from the US Coast Guard, we rented our Florida house out and spent the last year world schooling. We have visited over 21 countries in the last year, and were able to attend 2 Pop Ups, and had a wonderful time. The first two months we spent in the Malaga area, we fell in love with it, everything from the nightlife to the kids’ activities, and the beautiful beaches. We decided to make Malaga permanent, enrolled our children in school, have a house in Benalmádena, and share our love of this part of the country with others.

LODGING & NEIGHBORHOODS:

Many of our activities will take place near Málaga Centro & Centro Histórico. Staying in this area will be central to the events on our itinerary. However, Malaga is well connected via train. Choosing accommodations anywhere along the train line will be convenient for accessing our activities. The host family will be staying southwest of Málaga in Benalmádena past Torremolinos.
