Malaga is the only stop on the cruise that Pati and Beebee have not visited before (ignoring Civitavecchia as a stop, since Rome is the real reason ships stop there).
Malaga regressed from one of the New York Times' 53 Places to Go in 2008 to a city for which it was almost impossible to find a stand-alone guidebook. (It is, of course, mentioned in guidebooks for Spain.) Beebee was finally able to find a slim 58-page glossy booklet by Brian Jones published in 2008 with a list price of 6.99 British pounds (but more reasonably-priced used).
Malaga's most famous native sons are Picasso and Antonio Banderas.
Pati and Beebee are booked on a 3.5 hour "Malaga City Tour" with visits to the Castillo del Gibrafaro and the Cathedral de la Encarnacion. Since the ship is in port for 9 hours, Beebee hopes to have enough extra time to follow some of the walking tour described in the small guide book, such as the Bullring and Museum, the English Cemetery, and the Picasso Museum.

Sounds fun! I'm glad you're finally at a port. Take lots of pictures. :)
ReplyDeleteWhen getting off the ship, it is not appropriate to bend over and kiss the ground.
