Day 23 During the night around midnight, our Cruise Ship went through the Strait of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean Sea. Our Cruise Boat came into Malaga around 7 am in the morning. Malaga was settled by the Phoenicians more than 3,000 years ago.The city lies approximately 120 miles northeast of the Strait of Gibraltar along Spain's Coastal Plain. Malaga is the capital of the Costa del Sol, which is approximately 300 km. long, stretching from Cadiz in the west to the Gulf of Almeria on the east. Malaga is also the birthplace of Pablo Picasso. We rode the port shuttle bus to the end of the terminal, then we walked along the port road, past a Lighthouse to Malagueta Beach. img=http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/5260/09lighthouse1
