Malaga - last stop in Spain

The final stop in Spain was at the

southern port town of Malaga. Malaga was a beautiful town with a long, palm tree lined esplanade that lead to the beach and a vibrant shopping district (however down south siesta lasts from around 11 - 4!!) We visited the Alcazaba - 11 century Islamic palace and traveled to near by Granada to see the impressive Alhambra a 10 century fortress. The lush gardens and many fountains took you a million miles away from the hot and dry sun. We enjoyed exploring the many open plan buildings with beautiful mosaic tileing and carved wooden ceilings. It was hot and sunny and we just enjoyed relaxing on the beach after 3 weeks of travelling.
