Málaga

Málaga is a memorable destination. It doesn’t take a professional photographer to capture the impressive picture so often shown on postcards of Málaga. Someone has climbed up the steep road to the Alcazaba and, from any one of a number of battlement perches, spied the Plaza del Torros below, shaped like an oval from this high vantage above the city, with its sandy innards on display inside. Rarely is such a good bird’s-eye view afforded of a Spanish bullring. It is surrounded by tall apartment and office complexes, which serve to enhance the optical effect; behind the buildings is the shipping port, one of AndalucÃa’s three most important, and the Mediterranean Sea and coastline slipping away, anchored with cruisers and freighters.
