Malaga Moments

Lucky me, who recently got to travel, with a bunch of good colleagues, to the other side of Europe. From the west coast of Norway to the far south end of Spain - 4 hours on the plane. And what a joy: to travel to a place you have never been to before? Oh, yes, I like! Like Malaga, the 6th largest city in Spain, situated in Andalusia on the south coast. And an historic one: funded by the Phoenicians about 770 BC. A kinder-egg of a city, that's what I felt: so much to see, do and experience.

It was the perfect trip. Even though it was a work trip: the busy work schedule did allow a little time to explore. Just enough to make me curious for more. We had some gorgeous afternoon moments, just wandering down those narrow alleyways, next to cathedrals and on historic ground. We had an evening at the old castle, just on the top, overlooking the sunset over the blue sea and the green forest down below. We had an afternoon tapas - a meal that lead out into a long talk about life and love, and what it is all about. With the best people. And that was the best. The people. Just perfect.

These were my favourite Malaga Moments :

The bright blue sky and an architecture - it took my breath away:





The blue sky, blue sea, green hills - and an historic castle:


 Long tapas meals with good talks with the best people:


A new fancy flamenco outfit anyone?



Pablo Picasso, who was born in Malaga (and ladies: so was the actor Antonio Banderas by the way, we saw his house:-))

A myriad of small streets - most only for pedestrians


so:
We came
We saw
We enjoyed
We left

- but what will remain - is: the memories, the good talks, the laughter, the funny moments, the emotional ones, the just-being-together-with-someone-you-enjoy-the-company-with-moments
- making memories together moments

- those moments:-)

Gracias, Malaga:-)

  3. I love this photos! It looks like a beautiful place to explore at leisure. I love exploring narrow lanes, cobbled streets, and history and architecture on my travels - and this virtual trip had all of those too!

    Cheers!

  5. The lesser known cities retain much of their original charm and that's what makes them special. I had no idea Banderas and Picasso shared their place of birth. Wouldn't it have been great if you spotted the man himself?

  6. That last pic... it reminded me of how different it is from the congested, bustling small lanes and marketplaces we have here in India. In your pic too, it is a lane meant only for pedestrians and yet, there is a sense of serenity in it rather than the pushing and shoving we see here.
