Day 11 Malaga
We tied up in Malaga around 8am and were off exploring around 8:30.
Malaga has a bit of a European Surfers Paradise feel: lots of highrise apartments and they have to replace the sand on the beach every year.
First stop was at the top of the hill overlooking the city.
While a pretty place there is not a lot of places of interest outside of;
The house where Pablo Picasso lived till he was nine.
A Roman amphitheatre they discovered in the 1970s when they were digging the foundations of a library, and
the Alcazaba fort which was built by the Moors in the 11th Century .
This is an amazing structure which sits on the top of a hill dominating the city. Inside is a labyrinth of passageways, gardens and running water.
Oh and I forgot, there is actually a fourth wonder. The guy that played Zorro in the last Hollywood version of that movie was born here and has retired back to this town.
Outside of this there is not much more I can tell you about Malaga apart from the fact they started building the cathedral in 1352 and haven’t finished it yet. They are currently working on the roof.
