It’s about to rain. But it’s been a good day. A favourite breakfast followed by a walk round Málaga’s 1000 year old port.
Then we found ourselves being unexpectedly tested: a walk high above Málaga, on a steep winding path taking us up 430 feet to the Gibralfaro castle. It’s a 14th century edifice, but once upon a time, in Phoenician-Punic times, this site was used for watching over the town, and the ships sailing in. So we did that too.
After that, to mop up the rest of the morning, we explored the market.
We’d earned our lunch. So we did what we always do. Watched where the workmen go. They have a nose for the simple establishments that cook good traditional food just like grandma makes, and at a good price. My fish couldn’t have been fresher.
And here’s what we spotted on the way home.
What a lovely place! The fish look good, though if there were still heads and eyes I don’t think I could eat them. Still….I might try.

Splendid view from the Gibralfaro castle. Was amused about your comment ‘watching where the workmen go’ guess it works for Spain, France probably Italy, but in Old Blighty – oh dear! 😄

Oh, it works in Italy alright. But you’re right. It’s just not a British thing, is it? Such a shame.

Incredible that the port has been used as such for 1000 years!

There’s such a long and multi-cultural history in southern Spain. I must learn more.
