Viva Malaga!

It's possible this post may not make a lot of sense. I have wanted to go to bed 4 hours ago but thought I better not go to bed at 4 in the afternoon. So here I am at 8pm, east coast time, trying to stay up till at least 9pm. I'm going to make it, I think. I'm stuck on a 4 day domestic trip, which I don't care for to much, but it does give me 22 hours in Orlando, which I have used to crank out about 20 more passport covers. Check em out! Stay tuned, I may be getting a business partner in the near future!

You must hear about my lovely trip to Malaga, which may now be my most favorite city in the world. Why? I just don't know exactly. Maybe the way I feel like I just belong there. Maybe the way the streets are so windy and narrow. Maybe to way you never know what you might find down one of them. Maybe the beautiful Mediterranean, or the cafe con leche, the churros, the tapas, the rioja, the, well, you get the picture. I LOVE it there.
A must must must on your trip to Malaga is a trip to the market, Atarazanas, open from 8-2 Monday-Saturday. This place has your fruits, veggies, cheese, meats, some breads and its all delicious.

I easily spent 30 Euros here, but I got bags full of stuff. Olives, bread, almonds, tortilla, cheese, serrano, so much for so little. I am still eating most of it after sharing half with a friend! After your shopping trip, wander down to the park on the coast and check out all the non native plants there. Years ago sailors would bring back a plant from each exotic place they went and plant it in this park. There are all kinds of weird things there. Finish that off with a stroll on the beach. Don't be scared to get rid of those tans lines ladies, as some women go topless here. The guys are quite nice to look at as well.                               (See?)





Finish your day up with a good dinner of tapas, maybe some wine or sangria, hopefully from some locale where you can watch the sun go down. Then get ready to dance the night away. The Andalusians are know for their buleria lifestyle so be ready to live it up. And of course the next morning you will be ready for a cafe con leche and some churros y chocolate. And can it get much better than that?
