We arrive
at Malaga
There is
a new cruise terminal being built here, so new that the building itself is not fully
populated yet and a state of work is still in progress. P&O provide shuttle
busses to take you from the terminal building to the drop off coach area just
at the end of the port gates at the bottom of the high street.
From here
you can go right to the Paseo del Parque, at only 600m long it houses some 1,000
different types of plants and trees.
Go across
the road and off to the right you head for the 11th Century Moorish
palace-fortress of the Alcazaba normally open 08:00 – 20:00 during the summer.
Note: this is closed on Mondays as with many museums, guess what? It’s Monday.
Going up
and to the right you head for the Cathedral de Malaga. Work beginning around
1528. It has some simple and some lavish gold internal chapels, a central area where
the choir sit, this is open from 10:00 – 14:00 to the public as there are
services outside these times. With it’s impressive pipe organ at the centre, if
you like churches and that kind of thing, it’s worth a look.
Entrance fee: 4 Euro
for adults, 2.5 Euro for pre-booked groups
Heading
straight across from the port gates takes you towards the high steet (Larios St UK
If you
prefer to take a quick tour around the city visiting some of the historical
sites, then you take one of these horse drawn carriages showing the main points
of interest including the birth place of Picasso and Castgleo
These can
be found at various locations from just outside the port gates, at the bottom
of the high street, outside the cathedral to name a few.
From 45
minutes depending on which route you choose.
Fee: 30 Euro per
person (varies) You could even try to haggle?
At 16:30
the ship leaves port and heads of out to sea for the next stop
In the
evening a 60’s & 70’s party is in full swing with a live band performing.
You have the option to dress in appropriate styling or casual smart ware. The
captain and officers being in uniform, other crew donning afro wigs,
psychedelic dresses and platform boots to name a few.
