To start off, I want to thank God for presenting the opportunity to travel to Spain two years in a row! My first trip to Barcelona gave me just a taste of Spain and I wanted more. Malaga, Spain is a city like no other. The people, food, and culture of this coastal city are unmatched, in my opinion. Called “La Costa del Sol,” Malaga offers the enjoyments of the beach as well as a rich culture and deep history. The city was founded by the Phoenicians in the centuries before Christs. After the Phoenicians came the Romans and after the Romans came to the Arabian Muslims. After Muslim rule, the Spanish seized Malaga and gained control of the city during the Spanish Inquisition. The full history Malaga has gives the city a different feeling.
There are so many different ancient cultures represented throughout every part of the city that it was hard not to stop and appreciate a random building that might have been there since the early 16th century. While I was in Malaga I also had the opportunity to travel to Ronda, Cordoba, and Gibraltar. All of these experiences are treasured in my heart forever. Malaga was an engaging, alluring, and delightful city and I can’t wait to return.
