Malaga

Malaga, Spain

Malaga was our next stop. We went the caves of Nerja. These caves were discovered by group of little boys who fell in a sinkhole. It was huge inside. We visited the town of Nerja it was quaint and clean. We then headed back to Malaga and visited the ruin of the Alcazaba. The Moors built it in the 8th century. It was amazing to walk through something so old. Especially since we don’t have anything near that old here. We ate at a local café and I ordered hot chocolate and churros. The hot chocolate in Europe is like a melted down chocolate bar. So thick and decedent. The churros don’t have cinnamon sugar on it like ours. But it’s so good.

Funchal

Madeira Island, Funchal

Next stop Madeira. This island reminded me of Hawaii, so green. We took cab around the island. It was fun to get a taste of the local favor. We visited a local market they have a special fish they eat. This fish live about 300 feet below the surface and is transparent and colorful. But when it’s caught and pulled to the surface it turns black. They had amazing fruit. So much better than ours here. We also visited a botanical garden. They had gorgeous manicure gardens and birds there. We went to the north shore and saw and nature warm springs swimming pool that the locals use. It right next to the ocean. The spray hit the rocks and went up about 15 feet in the air. It was so cool. We ate lunch at a local restaurant and a lot of our group ordered the fish. I stuck with the soup. I am not very adventurous in the food department. We toured the rest of the island and visited where the locals have a toboggan ride. The streets look like the steep streets of San Francisco. Get for a fast toboggan ride. We shopped a little in the center of town. I bought an authentic Madeira cloth for my mom. It is hand stitched it looks similar to batten berg lace.

Las Palmas

Our next stop was Las Palmas on the Canary Island’s. This Island was beautiful. We decided to take it easy from all of our adventures the other day. We toured the city on the double decker red bus. We visited the beach, city and cathedral. Christopher Columbus used this island as a stopping point to stock up before he set sail for the America’s. And on the way back to Spain. We also visited a mall. I was nice to have some familiar territory.
