Malaga; Monday, 15 March, 2010

Another slow breakfast, and after checking out of the hotel, a leisurely walk along the riverside to the open-top bus tour bus stop.

As it was a Monday nearly all the attractions were closed, so it was going to be a quiet day for doing things. Instead I was going to concentrate on topping up the tan as the weather had improved substantially with the thermometers crossing the 20 degree mark, and the sky almost completely clear of clouds.

I did a circuit of the tour route and then headed back up to the castle. Unlike the rest of the attractions in the city, the castle is actually open on a Monday, though not many people appeared to know, so it was very much quieter than it had been on Saturday, and consequently I was able to take more of it in, in peace.

I had a long wander around the site, with even better views that on Saturday with the heavy rain having cleared some of the haze from the sky. It was so clear that I could actually make out the botanical gardens where I had been yesterday.

I stopped for lunch in the castle and so, by the time I boarded the bus, there wasn’t that much time left before I had to head out towards the airport.

I got off the bus at the cathedral and then walked back to the hotel to pick up my luggage and head to the bus stop for the airport.
