Guided City Tour Malaga

On the day before we took off with our, 12 friends from the USA and Canada joined tourguide Mark on the Guided City Tour in city of Malaga -in the south of Spain- to explore the rich history and some local cuisine. 

We started with a glimpse at the gate of the Mercado Central de Atarzanas, where the Moors went out of the city into the port, before it became the entrance of the oldest market of Malaga. 

Unfortunately the bullfight arena was closed for public due to an event, but we had a view on the outside of the arena while enjoying a very good coffee before headint to the Gibralfaro. This is a fortress on top of the mountains, overviewing attacks from the mainland as well from overseas. The reigning power went over between the Moors and Romans couple of timesover the centuries, which is also very visible in the architecture in the rest of the city. 

Just a short stroll took us to the Alcazaba, which is a fortress, where remains have been found dating from the 9th century! Can you even imagine?!

A nice lunch with delicious tapas let us continue into the Picasso museum and the birthhouse of this world-famous artist.

Am Tag vor unserem Tourstart begleiteten 12 Freunde aus den USA und Kanada den Reiseleiter Mark auf die geführte Stadterkundung der Stadt Malaga im Süden Spaniens, um die reiche Geschichte und kulinarische Highlights zu erkunden.

Wir begannen mit einem Blick auf das Tor des ,,Mercado Central de Atarzanas", wo die Mauren aus der Stadt in den Hafen gingen, bevor es zum Eingang des ältesten Marktes Malagas wurde. Leider war die Stierkampfarena wegen einer Veranstaltung für die Öffentlichkeit geschlossen, aber wir hatten einen Blick von außen auf die Arena und genossen einen sehr guten Kaffee, bevor wir uns auf den Weg zum Gibralfaro machten. Dies ist eine Festung auf dem Gipfel der Berge, die sowohl Angriffe vom Festland als auch über den Seeweg abwehrt. Die Regentschaft wechselte im Laufe der Jahrhunderte mehrmals zwischen den Mauren und den Römern, was auch an der Architektur im Rest der Stadt deutlich sichtbar ist.

Nur ein kurzer Spaziergang führte uns zur Alcazaba, einer Festung in der Überreste aus dem 9. Jahrhundert gefunden wurden! Kann man sich das überhaupt vorstellen?!

Ein leckeres Mittagessen mit köstlichen Tapas führte uns weiter in das Picasso-Museum und das Geburtshaus dieses weltberühmten Künstlers.

Finally we arrived on our last riding day in Malaga again. 
All a little bit sad that the time has gone so fast, but satisfied of the experiences during the last 10 days, we enjoy our last evening together.

A group of strangers turned in a group of motorcycling friends once again.

We hope to see you all on one of our next Edelweiss tours somewhere else in the world.
