Valencia to Gibraltar Day 15: Malaga 5

---

Today was our last day in Malaga, so again we got up pretty late, and just wandered around town. We ate lunch at the Restaurant Malaka. We both ordered Ensaladilla and I ordered a shrimp pincho. The ensaladilla rusa was pretty good, although a bit sweet. The shrimp pincho was very good, and the only thing wrong with it was there wasn't enough. After lunch we wandered back to the pension to take a nap. We watched a movie and then about 7pm we decided to walk back down to the beach. We walked the whole beach, and stopped at a restaurant for dinner. I didn't take a picture, and I don't remember the name, but Manoli ordered ham and mushrooms and I ordered albondigas (meatballs). They were both quite good. After dinner, since we were close the Maritime Station where all the tourist came in big boats, we walked the promenade there. Along the way we picked up some desserts at the Canasta cafeteria/pasteleria. We passed the Centre Pompidou, which is an art museum, located underground with a very modern entry. We really didn't want to visit it, but at least the entrance was pretty cool. Along the promenade there were a number of ... performers, one of which I thought was cool, so I gave him (I assume it was a him) a Euro and posed with him, a huge gorilla. It was after 9pm by then and we had to get up early for our bus, so we headed back to the pension.
