I’ve always been partial to solo travelling and like millions, Airbnb has been my go-to virtual travel agent. Just put the destination, date and “entire home” into the search details and you too can "live like a local". At least that was what I thought when I visited Malaga last week and my solo trip turned out to be not so solo.

 

I arrived at my accommodation just outside Malaga’s old town early and my host's friend Frederico was very accommodating, meeting me there with the key.
