Malaga notes....

We decided to hit a few towns on the way to Malaga. We wanted to check out Ronda, a large town set atop a 1000 foot plataeu with jagged vertical cliffs on three sides.



It was fantastic BTW, but the road to get there was near ridiculous....56 miles, the road to Guacin through the Cerro Ronda,...I stopped counting after 450 turns,..my wife was getting car sick and I wished I had the S4..tear it up beaatch!


Anyway, Malaga, Picasso´s home town, a city on the Costa Del Sol, or the southern coast of spain.



Have little time on this computer so here´s the Andulucian checklist:

1. Gorgeous people-check
2. Roman ruins-check
3. Visagoth ruins-check
4. Muslim, Moorish Alacazaba and Fortress-check. This Fortress in particular has been chronicled by Christian scholars since the 1400´s a Fortress Impregnable...and it looked the part indeed.



5. Catholic Gothic Catedral-check


6. Labrynthian maze of narrow cobble streets-check


7. A medeival town surrounding the catedral-check
8. Endless hidden plazas-check
9. Tapas bars, restaurants and bars nearly everywhere-check
10. Throngs of locals and tourist alike drinking and eating together on the streets until 4:00 in the morning-check

On our way to Granada...the best is left for last.
