Everywhere I have been so far in Spain is very hot, with a temperature above 90 F (32 C) and high humidity. I drag myself along when I have a few hours of sleep. I try to get early to go tourist around and I always try get to bed early, but it is very difficult to go back to the hotel when there is still lots of sunlight at 10:00 P.M. Also, most of the touristic places close around 8:00 P.M., and that’s when I go to eat. Everybody is out at night, and I sit wondering, listening conversations, and walking around, and before I notice, it is already 11:00 P.M. So I go to the hotel and I get ready to go to bed. By the time that I am in bed, it is around 1:00 P.M.
Neither the weather nor the few hours of sleep stop me of having fun over here. Yesterday I got to Malaga around 3:00 P.M.. Malaga is a small and nice city next to the Mediterranean Sea. I visited the Cathedral and the Plaza Mayor; unfortunately it was the hottest day so far on my trip, and it made it impossible to walk around without taking long breaks in coffee shops where I ask for lemonades, beer or just plain water. In the evening I went to an amphitheater that was built around the 11th century by the Moors. Malaga was under the Moors Empire at that time. At the end of the day, I went to see a Flamenco show that was amazing!

Today, I went to the Gibralfaro Castle and the Alcabaza Fort; beautiful places. I’d seen some Moorish style construction in photographs and magazines, but it is just fantastic see it in person, the castle is such a beautiful building, with lots of details from top to bottom (walls, ceiling, floors, doors, etc.).
After spending the whole morning and part of the afternoon at the castle and fort, I am spending the time on the beach. I’m under a tree in the shade, and I am still very hot. I’ll go to swim in the ocean in a little bit to cool off!

Today is the last day here in Malaga. Tomorrow I am going to Ronda, a town in the White Hills in the Andalucia region
