Table d'Hôte: menú de precio fijo frente a menú à la carte

The table d'hôte menu offers a complete meal for a fixed price. An à la carte menu lists all food and beverage items separately, and guests choose the individual items they want.

My Trip to Torremolinos

Last summer, I traveled to Torremolinos, in Málaga, with my family. I always wanted to visit the Costa del Sol, and this trip was a great opportunity to enjoy the sun, the beach, and the typical food.
