       We've never traveled abroad, and I must say I'm more than a little overwhelmed at the prospect of our upcoming trip to Spain (next week).  Will travel to Mardid, then by train to Malaga.  I'm intimidated by car rental - can anyone recommend a trustworthy company, and what can I expect to be included, and not included in my quote?
     Also, while I take reviews with a grain of salt, planning on heading towards Marbella for day trips as opposed to Fuengirola and Malaga.  Good idea?  Taking our daughters 13 and 15.  Is Tivoli world worth the trip?  Also looking for a recommendation on a castle to visit, advice on seafood, Moroccan, and tapast.  I do NOT like touristy restaurants,would much rather go out of my way to a mom and pop.  Help!  I'm getting dizzy trying to get this together! Any advice is greatly appreciatedSmile  Thank you!!

if you are so overwhelm why don't you schedule day tours.. such as tapas tours... or city walking  
I think the beach is too cold this time of the year  for  malaga and marbella

 also why dont take the train or buses to move around  with 2 teenagers in tow it may be more   fun instead than  worrying about  finding directions where to go....

I been abroad and I know the train system is very good and efficient...... plus a great experience for the teenagers
