Malaga Day One - Sabado

Fountain

Now in Malaga for a week of Spanish lessons and cultural experiences. My first of the day was a flight on Jet2.com full of Glaswegians going on holiday. 42nd time to Spain for a woman behind me! In fact they were all fine it was the constant high pitched and high speed sales spiel the cabin crew kept giving that was a bit hard to bear at 7.30am!
Arrived in plenty of time for a walk around the city. Warm with heavy but brief showers during which some umbrellas appear or people just shelter together in doorways or under canopies. A lot of tourists still around - have heard quite a bit of German today.

Port

A brief look at the seafront and then a stop to admire the hilltop fortifications below:

El Acazaba

Didn't go inside but more free time later. Sat next door in the sun at the Roman theatre eating my bocadillo (no roasted lapwing livers or similar fare on offer!). This is the birthplace of Picasso so a museum to possibly visit later. Hotel modern and central - with wi-fi! Meeting the rest of the group tonight.
