European cruise continued - Malaga, Spain

I wrote this post before the terrible flash flooding that has recently affected this area.  Sending prayers to Eastern Spain. 

We had a day at sea before our next port of call in Malaga, Spain.  It was around this time husband M and I, son K all caught this cold virus.  I think daughter L's husband also was sick.  It lasted for weeks but we got through the cruise thanks to Tylenol Cold pills.   That night we passed Gibraltar on our way to Spain, which was kind of neat.

Anyway, Malaga is the birthplace of Pablo Picasso.  The tour guide took us to the square close to his birthplace.  There we bought these delicious roasted almonds in bags at 2 bags for 6 euro.

That evening I remember we were on the top deck of the ship and experienced the lovely sail away from the port of Malaga.  The weather was balmy, music was playing and they were serving a special lobster dinner.
