Malaga

We made it!!!  We are on the far side of the Atlantic.

The crossing was brutal—-82 degrees, no waves, and they only served lobster once.  You don’t have to tell us, the struggle is real!!!

We are in the beautiful city of Malaga, Spain.  The city boasts a long history of both Moorish and Christian occupation.  The Alcazaba and the castle of Gibralfaro tower over the city reminding us of the past.

The Cathedral of Malaga began construction in 1528 and it opened in 1782.  The beautiful 84 meter north tower announces the hours as the south tower remains unfinished.  A plaque  at the base of the tower states that the money raised to build the south tower was used to help the British colonies which became the United States.

Our time in Malaga has been fantastic.  The city is beautiful and there is so much to see.  The Roman Theatre,  magnificent gardens, and the Bull Ring rounded out our short stay here.

Our next stop is tomorrow and then we are off the cruise. Apparently then I will have to reduce the number of meals a day from 5 to more of a reasonable amount.
