Easter Break Part 1 - Malaga
















So my first stop was in Malaga, a city in the South of Spain full with several things to offer, especially during Semana Santa (Holy Week). I stayed at a very cheap and cool Hostel called Picasso's Corner, they were very welcoming and friendly. I started off the day by trying to go to Picasso's house, or museum, but of course since it was Holy Week, everything of that sort was closed. So I walked around and started seeing everything there was to see. I even took a ride in a horse carriage where they took showed all the main sites. I then visited the Alcazaba and saw the Roman Theatre right next to it. It was pretty awesome to see. I walked to the beach Malagueta, and on the way back saw the bull fighting arena, which had an interesting sculpture on the side of it. Of course I stopped to each and such along the way, and by the time I was walking over for the processions which started pretty late, I was exhausted. However, that did not stop me from enjoying myself. In addition to all of the great things above, I also saw Antonio Banderas and his wife from his balcony. And last but not least, I saw the huge and incredible floats for Holy Week. Malaga was definitely a city worth visiting.
