Ive been doing some research in to some fancy cocktail bars in Amsterdam, but looking for a bit of local guidance.

As a bartender I am always very interested to check out the cocktail scene in new places, and next week I will be in the Netherlands for the first time!

Some of these cocktail bars look amazing! I am wondering if there are any big tequila/mezcal fans out there, that can suggest if any bar in particular in Amsterdam/Utrecht is especially good for their agave spirits selection/cocktails.

So excited to be in your country soon. Ive been practicing my Dutch! Its only pretty bad!

Dank je vel!

Trying to figure out where to stay near Malaga for 3 nights in the 2nd week of June.

Me: 41M Canadian. Wanting to stay on/by the beach. Ive found hotels in both places that fit the bill.

I wanna walk around town, sit on the beach, eat tasty food, and have some drinks. Not looking for crazy all night parties, but some drinks at a lively pub or bar til 1 or 2am is cool.

I know I'm hard pressed to find somewhere not super overrun with tourists on the coast, but I have read that both places have maintained a local feel. Maybe Rincon more than Fuengirola? I love meeting Travellers, but when people expect to not have to speak Spanish it kinda ruins it for me. Sounds like Fuengirola might be more like that? I prefer having to use my Spanish!

It kinda sounds like rincon might be more my speed, but I still wanna meet some people and have a fun social vibe. Where am I more likely to meet solo Travellers in their 30s and 40s? Or is that a lost cause in both places?

Thank you in advance!
