MALAGA



Well we set sail from Southampton on the magnificent Norwegian Jade

Built 2006
Gross tonnage 93,000
Overall length 965feet
No. of passengers 2,378
No. of crew 1,021
2.6 laps of deck 7 = 1 mile

and our first stop was Malaga. Malaga is to be the CAPITAL OF CULTURE in 2016. We enjoyed the Picasso museum



which houses over 200 works by the native artist. However most of our time was spent walking through the ruins of a vast fortress



that was built on the site of a Roman town in the 9th and 10th centuries. There would have been some lovely views from the top had the mist not suddenly rolled in.



Anyway, I didn`t fall!





Half an hour walking through the old town to the main shopping area before a DIP IN THE SEA



and it was back to the boat to set sail for Barcelona.
