We successfully completed our first expedition to Europe (outside Switzerland). They were five days full of activities and here is a short version of what we did.
1st day: we arrived in Malaga, the city was flooded due to the rain. We managed to get to the hotel and explore Benalmadena, where the hotel was located; finished the day with a dip in the pool.
2nd day: we explored Picasso’s (and Antonio Banderas’) birthplace, Malaga. We started at “Plaza de la Marina”, visited the Picasso museum, the cathedral and its museum, and had some “tapas” at a café next to the Roman Theater, among other things. We then went to the beach and swam at the pool.
3rd day: we explored Marbella, located some 70 km from Malaga; there we visited the “Plaza de los Naranjos” (Spanish for “Orange trees square”) where of course all the trees had beautiful oranges, the walls of the “Castillo Arabe”, walked around the “Paseo de la Alameda” where they have many interesting Dali’s sculptures, and finished the visit at the beach were the sand was beautifully fine.
4th day: we took a tour to Gibraltar. We visited the Rock of Gibraltar, located on a peninsula attached to Spain but governed by the UK. We went to the top of the rock were you can see Africa, feed the Apes (JP did) and visited the St. Michael’s caves, among other things. We also had lunch at a Pub and did some shopping.
5th day: we came back home.
