Gotta love Malaga.

Today is our last full day in Malaga, before we leave tomorrow for Seville. We have had a wonderful time in this city, spending most of our days on the beach and walking through the crowded streets of the old city, just like something out of those holiday promotion shows you see on TV. In addition to the beach, we've also managed to fill up on some of the cakes and pastries on offer here. Next to France, I think they make the best pastries we've eaten.

It has been great not having to see everything, as we tended to do in all of our previous places, instead just idling away the time doing whatever we pleased. I'm sure this won't last long, as it's off to Seville for five days tomorrow and, no doubt, more of the tourist treadmill. Still, that's what we're here for.

Last night we took a sunset cruise aboard a catamaran (not under sail) and it was great. The sunsets are spectacular, and being out on the water made it all the more memorable. They even threw in a complimentary glass of sparkling wine, although there is a chance someone confused it with the battery acid, because they tend to have a similar taste.

One of the lovely squares filled with people eating. This was way past 10 pm.

My next blog entry will be from our last destination, Seville, before we spend our final night in Madrid before our flight home. There's still lots left to see and do, but we are starting to sense it coming to and end. As Winston Churchill once said, 'this is not the end, it is not even the beginning of the end, but it may well be the end of the beginning'. Probably not strictly appropriate, but I sound so learned.
