Malaga

Malaga Cruise day 9

Malaga! What an interesting town... at least the part we saw. when one is as experienced in these travel matters as Deb and i are, being as we are on this cruise, one notices that the town you are in is only as good as the town you see. We visited the "old Town" and fell in love. Who knows what the rest of the Population 630K town looks like?

Most of us said we could live here. It is pretty and clean. Expensive in the places we visited, but then this is the tourist part of town and we know what that means. 

Here is a travel tip. when we left the ship we walked through the terminal and found a counter with the "Carnival" sightseeing service. when asked, they said,"We don't know what is outside but for 23 euro each we can give you an "on-Off" bus with 4 stops. We bought because "they didn't know what was out there". Over dinner that evening we found out that the double decker bus we passed had 25 stops, a headset for information and was 23 euro each! When we complained Carnival said they contracted that service and it wasn't part of Carnival. Now if you consider, they service was the only one offered in the terminal, we had "Carnival" stickers to identify us and we used "Carnival" labeled buses .. when it quacks and walks like a duck, even sub-contracted, it is a duck.

so one concludes don't believe anyone. Check it out for yourself.

Trip tip complete.

Malaga was founded in 600BC. You can see on the map that it is in a nice location found trade. We visited a castle and the Picasso Museum. Then we visited a Roman theater. I hope we can find a time to post the pictures. ship board our internet is expensive and slow, so uploading the pictures we have is not in the budget at least not all the pictures. Stay tune.
