Crossing the Atlantic: Malaga, Spain and final day at sea

Malaga, Spain from our hike

As our voyage draws closer to Barcelona we make one final stop in Malaga, Spain. It is in southern Spain on Costa del Sol. The weather has become warm and beautiful. The city of Malaga is again built on the side of a hill. From the looks of things it would be quite a haul for us to walk to the city center so we squish on a bus with 60 others. We pass a market area obviously set up for us “cruisers” but I see lots of interesting things to check out on our way back. Mike and I wander around town a bit, we win some more euros at the ATM machine then decide to hike up to the fortress we have seen on our way into port.

The fortress is large and impressive. It guards the bay. We hike up and down the walls and ramparts, really fun and there are amazing views!

By the time we descend the day is about done and we are a little anxious to make it back to the ship in time. BUT we did have a short time at the “cruisers” market and I bought a mushroom brush. Ha ha really!
