Day 92: Costa del Sol, Malaga
August 26: Today was a free day to do whatever!
Most people had a big night last night (including me), and spent the morning recovering and the afternoon at the beach. It´s at least 40 degrees here every day, very dry heat too.
Mind you today was a little hazy.
I on the other hand, went to Malaga for most of the day with some other tour mates.
Got to see the house where Pablo Picasso was born, the cathedral, local buildings, Alcazaba (former Muslim palace) and the Castillo Gibralfaro which used to be a fortress and has amazing views of the city. We could also see the bullring... spectacular sight of it, and the coastline too.
Went into Torremolinos this afternoon to walk along the beach promenade. Lots of people swimming in the Mediterranean Sea. I went swimming in the hotel pool yesterday afternoon, so didn´t really feel like getting wet again today (and washing the hair), but I was so hot I could have done with the cool down.
Had dinner with 12 other tourmates at a Chinese restaurant in town (free night). Great having something different to eat - it was yummy too.
Kept a low key, early night.
