Malaga

Last weekend, we took a trip to Malaga, Spain. Malaga is on the southern coast of Spain! We spent one night in Torremolinos, which is a few kilometers south of Malaga. David and I enjoyed a day on the beach where we laid out and relaxed. The beach was absolutely beautiful and we had perfect weather to enjoy being outside.

The next morning we headed into Malaga to see some of the popular sites.  This was an adventure in itself as David and I have recently bought a car from a friend and were driving through Spain with his copied version of the internet map that failed to include any directions as far as where to go in Malaga.  So we spent the first part driving through town until we found a great part of Malaga to site see.  We came across a 5k that had just ended. There were tons of people with bib numbers on roaming the streets!  If only we had know they were having a run that morning!  We first visited the Malaga Cathedral which was absolutely beautiful. We were able to go inside where they were having a service and see the beautiful architecture.  Next we headed to Picasso’s Museum. Picasso is originally from Malaga and the museum contains a large collection of his work.  It was very interesting to read and learn more about him and his work!  Our last stop was Alcazaba, built mostly in the 11^th century.  It was one of the most important military fortifications remaining from the Hispanic-Arabic period.  It was HUGE and we were able to get great views of the city from the top!

I am so glad we got to visit Malaga while it is still warm outside! Hopefully we will get to return and see more of this city before the end of the year! More photos added to the slide show above.
