You can find the first to reviews of Sevilla and Córdoba here and here. This is another scheduled posting and I should be on the way home from my cousin’s wedding when this gets posted.

I got to Málaga on Wednesday quite late, so that night I didn’t really do much. I ended up having dinner with two Dutch guys at the hostels. They had cooked too much food, so they asked if I wanted to eat with them. It was actually quite good and very nice to meet the people at the hostel.

On Thursday, I went to see the Cathedral, and then ran some errands [going to the bank, buying new SD memory cards for my camera because I knew else I would run out of space in Granada]. I ended up taking quite a long nap in the evening after taking a walk along the beach [which was just a few minutes from the hostel]. I had a cold so I tried to rest more during my stay in Málaga. It worked out quite nicely as there was not that much to see in Málaga anyway.

That night I watched the Germany - Portugal soccer game on TV with a bunch of people at the hostel, and I was the only one there who was supporting Germany. Al the others were supporting Portugal even though none of them was actually Portuguese. That made it even better that we won! I ended up getting a free drink from the barkeeper too! Sweet! After the game, I went running along the beach which was really nice. There is actually a running route on the beach and the sand is not as soft so it is good for running.

On Friday, I went to Nerja with a Kiwi girl I met at the hostel, and we had a really great day there. We first went to see the cave which was just breathtaking. I don’t think the pictures can even capture how amazing it was, it really makes you aware of how amazing nature is.

Then we took a walk through the town of Nerja, and spent some time at the beach. The beach was much nicer in Nerja than in Málaga.

The bus ride back to Málaga was a bit interesting as a bunch of guys decided to annoy us on the bus. One actually sat down next to me, and proposed to me [with one of those big gold rings]. Haha, oh man, I said no, and asked him if he could sit somewhere else so he left me alone, but the guy next to Julie didn’t leave the seat next to hers until we got to Málaga. Luckily I was smart enough to forget that I spoke Spanish, because they didn’t speak much English so they couldn’t really say much.

Saturday I did my laundry at the hostel, and after that was done, I went to visit the Alcazaba there and strolled through the city center for a while.

On Sunday, I left Málaga to go to Granada, the last city on my trip.

    Oh wow, the cave pics are breathtaking, even though you said they probably don’t do the cave justice. But you are right - sometimes we need to be made aware about the awesomeness of nature. Thank you so much for sharing all those pics and I look forward to the next part of your trip-review.

    Oh, and welcome back to Germany. :o)
