Malaga

The city and the nearby mountains.


We decided to just walk around the city rather than taking a tour.
This sea wall was cut and fitted together like wall we had seen in Greece.


A tambourine man in a park with the crest of the city behind him.


Further along we saw an amphitheater being excavated and restored.
And above it the Alcazaba fortress.
Alcazaba can be broken into Al the Arabic prefix for the and Cazaba which could also be written Kasbah.
So this was the second kasbah we visited on this trip.



Inside the fortress was a maze of paths, walls and gates.
Enough to delay and confuse any attacker.


Another view of  the amphitheater excavation with a few workers on the site.


A couple of items in the museum that occupied several rooms.


Decorations on the wall of one of the rooms.
 

Paths, fountains and gardens throughout the fortress.
 

A view of Malaga's bull ring from Alcazaba.


Some of what we saw around town.
The elaborately carved door of  a church and the counterweight that once held a bell in one of the towers.


One of many old buildings with carved stone facades.


Our last stop, the beach.
A little cold for swimming but just a stroll and playing in the sand was nice.
