Malaga weather

Hey!

Planned an extreme day trip for 25th April and feel like I’ve got very unlucky with the weather. Seen lots of sunshine lately over there but this Saturday all the weather apps seem to be showing cloud and rain.

How reliable are the apps?

Wondering if I should stay an extra day although it’s an extra £200, which seems like a lot but I don’t want to leave feeling deflated.

Help, uber driver stole from me!

Hey all, looking for some advice / to see if this has happened to anyone else.

I recently left my bag with all my bank cards in an Uber driver’s car, and I’m now dealing with what looks like fraud directly from the driver.

The driver actually reported to Uber that I left my bag behind, so there’s no dispute that they had possession of my belongings.

Shortly after the ride, I noticed a charge on my account for £21.81 showing as:

*“SumUp Uber M58XFOFT”

And another charge for £4.22 showing as

“SumUp *Maison Glow Malaga”

At first glance it looks like a normal Uber charge, but:

It’s processed through SumUp (a mobile card reader, not Uber’s normal system)

It doesn’t match any trip in my Uber app

I did not tap or authorise any payment

Even worse, the driver appears to have tried multiple transactions across all my cards, which were declined, except this one that went through, however, he was able to spend a total of €80 on my card.

Given the timing, the fact my card was left in their car, and that they themselves confirmed having my bag, I’m confident this wasn’t random, it looks like the driver attempted to use my card manually via a card reader and labeled it “Uber” to make it seem legitimate.

I’ve:

-Frozen all my cards and ordered replacements

-Reported everything to my bank as fraud

-Contacted Uber support

-Reported the transaction (with merchant ID) to SumUp.

-Filed a police report, and I have the driver’s name, license plate, and photo.

Has anyone experienced something like this with an Uber driver specifically?

Also wondering:

-How seriously Uber takes this kind of report?

-Whether SumUp provides merchant/account details in fraud cases

-Why the driver reported my cards missing just to use them later?

Pretty unsettling situation to be in.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Visit Malaga with baby!

Good evening everyone! I would like some information about accommodation in Malaga. We are a family with a 1.5 year old baby and we plan to visit Malaga at the end of May. Where do you think it is best (quiet, safe) for a family with a baby of that age to stay? As I saw while searching, many emphasize the excessive noise of the historic center.

Danish guy

Idk if this is the right sub but on the 20th (of April), my two friends and I (two girls and a boy all together) met this Danish guy who likes Manchester United by some vending machines in Malaga adjacent to Raptos de las Sabinas, and we haven’t seen him since lol… we never managed to get his name either. This is a hail mary or whatever since my friend is really into him!!! Someone help.

La Maroma or Camino del Rey

Hello! I am visiting Malaga with some friends, 19 year old guys in decent shape, and definitely want to do a hike. Which one would you recommend, and how hard really is La maroma? Or there other mountains nearby that are even better? Thanks so much!
