Blogs from Málaga, Andalusia, Spain, Europe - page 25

I'm writing this a bit late since I've had a week without internet. But I feel that Malaga needs to get an entire essay because so many things happened there. I was only in Malaga for two days. I didn't really go to the beach and saw little more than the Picasso museum, the center, the hostel and offcourse Freaggie Rocks. But the hostel was amazing. It seemed as I entered not to live up to the standard of Granada, but as I look back I have noticed that I hardly left the hostel. Partly because it was to hot and partly because two Dutch guys spent the entire time playing guitar and entertaining the crowd of bagpackers. It was some great days in Malaga, with company of some very interesting travellers. I believe that Malaga ... read more

This time in Spain has been tremendous, scary, lonely, and frustrating. I have loved all of it, even the worst parts, a real growing experience. The best parts have been the new friends I have met here in Spain. I´m part of a community of couchsurfers all connected through couchsufing.com.

We walked the two blocks to the seaside and as it started to rain, we found a charming tapas bar with a great view of the sea. Here, a tinto de verano only costs €1.40, and you get a tapa gratis with every drink. With my first drink I ordered a portion of my favorite, tortilla española... and they brought me...a piece of sausage wrapped in bacon. It was delicious, but it wasn´t tortilla. With my second drink I ordered tortilla...and they ... read more

I am sitting on the plane to Malaga! I had a bit of a rough start since my luggage was 20 kilos over the limit so I had to pay an additional 1000 NOK (just about the price of my plane ticket - ouch!). Thankfully I still had just enough to time to stop by the duty free shop, pick up my brothers favorite chocolate and board the plane. I was reading God’s Word as usual when I came across verses that everyone is familiar with but they spoke to me with more power than usual. “Do to others as you would have them do to you.” Luke 6:31 This also brought to mind the wonderful verse, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” After being on the road for four months with 8 other people in two ... read more
