You know when I go to a
market, I gotta take pics.
And the need to take pics
intensifies if the market
includes seafood.
Regular blog readers also
know that if there's a
display of fresh fish with
expressive eyes, I'm
going to include that
photo in the blog too.
The market entrance.
Figs. And I didn't buy any, figuring
I'd get another chance later. Sad
trombone -- I didn't get the chance!
Interesting juxtaposition of red and
white strawberries. I've never seen
white strawberries before. They are
actually named "Pineberries"
and taste like pineapple.
Drop me an email if you've
ever had one, and let
me know what you think.
Jamon on the hoof -- literally
the only ham worth eating
in the world.
This picture of olives is simply a test
to see if friend, and olive-hater, Scott
Conroy, is reading this post.
Parisian-esque building
in the heart of Malaga.
This rabbit is doing some
heavy lifting.
Definitely some clever
public art in Malaga.
This was the entrance to the
Bishop's Palace. Now it is
repurposed as a building
for a Foundation. Impressive
architecture. Built beginning
in 1762.
Santa Iglesia Catedral Basilica de la
Encarnacion de Malaga, which is a
long-winded way of saying this is
the facade of the Cathedral of Malaga.
Below: The Roman Theater of Malaga,
rediscovered in 1951, and believed to
have been build in the First Century.
Above it is the Alcazaba (Arabic for
"Citadel or fortified palace").
Phoenicians settled the hill first,
and the traces of a Roman
fish factory have been found.
The Alcazaba is first mentioned
in 755 AD.
A lion statue is also always going
to be included in the blog.
The Torrijos Monument,
erected to the 49 people
A supporter of a constitutional
Spain, Torrijos was a military
man who led a Bay of Pigs
style invasion of Malaga
but he and his men were
captured and later executed.
A Jacaranda tree, native to
South America. They are
also thriving in Spain.
Beautiful balcony, with
mudejar architecture.
