Why the f*** are you going to Malaga?

Málaga

There is a patio competition on this week in two neighbouring suburbs so we walked the trail. They were mostly in blocks of apartments with central courtyards, where the neighbours had decked them out with traditional shawls, flowering plants and garden ornaments. 


In the evening we walked down to the marina for dinner, checking out the incredible super yachts along the way. We looked up some of the prices online, one was the "Dynasty" which had cost $200 million to build, with annual upkeep at about $20 million. It had been built for a Kazakhstani mining baron in 2015, however as he died in 2021 we're not sure if he ever got his money worth!

The marina seemed to have a larger proportion of tourists around than back in the centre, and we cut short a visit to one bar as it had been overrun by a huge group of obnoxious English yobbos. Hopefully this isn't going to be common occurrence while we're in Malaga (noting that M had been told by one friend before we left "why the f*** are you going to Malaga, it's full of English people")!
