Tall Glass of Water

Tall Glass of Water: Andalusia

Why have walls when you can just have windows instead? That's the question that this apartment in the centre of Malaga poses and you'll be inclined to agree with the architect's decision to have floor-to-ceiling glass running along the far corner of the open-concept living area.

Not only does it flood the interior with natural light, but it also looks out to a colourful view of treetops, hillsides and the blue sky up above. As an added perk, you can slide the glass doors open to turn your dining table into an alfresco setting.

The design throughout lies on the contemporary side, with stark white walls, wooden floors and a deliciously minimalist kitchen making the home feel instantly bright and welcoming. Add to that some equally pared-back bedrooms and a pair of super-sleek bathrooms, and we defy anybody not to fall head over heels for this address.

And that's without even mentioning the incredible location, either. Just around the corner from La Migueleta bullring, you can reach the sandy beach that shares the arena's name in just under five minutes, as well as the Centre Pompidou and Parque de Malaga.

Home truths:
