Spain, Malaga

We have ended our Italian leg of the journey and have started the Spanish one. We begin in Malaga, where once the people traded in salt as a currency. Malaga had a very checkered past, a melting pot of Roman, Visigoths, Muslim, Christians and Franco influences on their culture, music, and architecture.

Malaga's claim to fame is also that this is the birth place of Picasso, and Antonio Banderas, who was suppose to be filming a documentary on Pablo Picasso for National Geographics.

Kai found a well reviewed free walking tour and from that we extended to do 2 other walking tours with the same guide who was very good.
The first was a night mystery tour to highlight paranormal, ghost, and miracles tour. The 2nd was a tour of the historic centre of Malaga to highlight her history, architecture and food. Lastly we did a tour of the Alcazaba, the Muslim fortress that protected the once walled city of Malaga.

Food was super yum. We had breakfast at a typical Malaga place serving dips with bread, churros, paella and Malaguan salad and Moscatel fortified wine.Read more
