Malaga in Pictures Part 1
The only downside to cruising I think is that time in each ports-of-call is so very limited. There is only so much you can do or see or even attempt to do or see. When our ship docked in Malaga, we were at a lost for stuff to do. Well, not true. We knew what we wanted to do and that is sightsee by walking. What we were not sure of is how big the city center is or if walking was feasible.
We took the public bus from the port and it stopped just outside the historic center. The first thing we saw was the Malaga Cathedral. After the visit to the cathedral, we decided to just walk around the area. I must say that I'm quite impressed by the historic center. It is pretty walkable, with many restaurants, stores, museums and churches. What a charming town this is and I've only seen a little bit of it. The architecture is equally charming. It reminds me so much of New Orleans' French Quarter.
Part 1 is devoted to the beautiful architecture, mostly doors and windows.
And before we continued our peregrination, we stopped for little drink.

Such pretty pictures!
ReplyDeleteHello, what a pretty city! I love all the different balconies, flowers and buildings. Great collection of photos, lovely tour. Happy Monday, enjoy your new week!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Maria .. It certainly reminds me of NOLA too!
ReplyDeleteI would not have placed these images in Malaga. It looks worthy of a much longer visit
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful, old-world architecture. I love the different textures and colors.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love your photographic theme of old world architecture especially the beautiful windows ~ Wonderful post ~
ReplyDeleteHappy Week to you ~ ^_^
That looks like a very attractive city to walk around in.
ReplyDeleteWonderful captures of the different colours and styles of architecture in Malaga - truly an eclectic mix - looks like you stopped there long enough to get a feel for the ambiance of this colourful area.
ReplyDeleteWonderful variety of shots.
ReplyDeleteI noticed that in Europe, though haven't been to Spain, you can find those cute little window boxes of flowers in most houses and buildings. When plenty in a ledge they are very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love Spain. We missed Malaga, but stayed in a nearby town.
ReplyDeleteVery very nice. I'm very much interested in architecture, too, and these photos just make me want to go visit. Chances are, though, I'd be able to go to New Orleans first before Spain!
ReplyDeleteSuch amazing pictures. I am already in love with this place.
ReplyDeleteI think that is why I am hesitant to take cruises. But, on the other side, it is a way to see a lot in a short period of time (because sometimes that is the only way to go). Love your photos. Hope I visit this city one day.
ReplyDeleteWow! Lovely pictures.
ReplyDeleteThese doors are so beautiful and unique. Such a lovely collection!
ReplyDeleteI think we call those "french balconies". They look very nice.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful architecture. It is lovely that Malaga is intact and has suffered so little of the damage that other cities have experienced due to war.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful architecture, very interesting.
ReplyDeleteThat's one of the reasons why I haven't tried a cruise yet - the time you have for each places is very limited. I definitely would love to spend more than a day in MAlaga. :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome, Great photos.
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are all so beautiful

Your lovely shots bring back happy memories of our time in Malaga some years ago.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking part in the Travel Tuesday, I look forward to your contribution this week.
