I’m not ashamed to say that after all our time in Switzerland and travelling back to Malaga, all that I wanted to do on Sunday was sleep. But with such a large bucket list to work on, a day of sleeping is a day wasted – especially when so much money was spent to get me here in this beautiful city. Therefore, after a quick siesta and lunch, I ventured over to the beach with Jordan and Daniel to sunbathe (or “tomar el sol”) for a bit before we decided to head on over to visit the Castillo de Gibralforo.
Después de nuestra tiempo en Suiza y viajando a Málaga, todos que quise hacer en Domingo estaba dormir. Pero con un grande listo hacer con, un día lleno de durmiendo es un día despilfarrado – especialmente cuando muchos dineros gastán para mí ir a Málaga. Por eso, después de una siesta y almuerzo corto, fui a la playa con Jordan y Daniel a tomar el sol, y decidimos ir a el Castillo de Gibralforo.
It didn’t really seem like that big of a hike. From a glance, it just looked like a couple of weaving stairways and we’d be up there. Well, we quickly found that to be false – after trudging up the steep stairways and hiking paths, we found it took more than a half hour just to get to the top of the small mountain or large hill that Castillo de Gibralforo sits on. However, it was completely worth it.
No parece como un grande caminado. Parece como dos o tres escalaras. Pues, descubrimos rapidamente que es falso – después fuimos las escaleras pinas, lo tomó más que un mitad hora ir a la Castillo de Gibralforo. Aunque, es completamente mérito lo.
Everything that I have read and heard is true – there is no view of Malaga like from atop el Castillo de Gibralforo. I had always known Malaga was a large city, but until I saw it from that view, I really had no idea how far the city actually extended. There were old buildings, white houses, ports, and beaches as far as the eye could see – little white specks dotted the mountains that surround Malaga like the sides of a bowl. Then, we pressed onward into the castle from the outer walls and found a whole new experience. The design of the castle is amazing, sparing no lack of detail as the moors do. A lot had vanished with time, but the stonework of the castle remained.
Todos que he leído y oído es verdad – no hay un visto de Málaga como del Castillo de Gibralforo. He conocido que Málaga es una ciudad muy grande, pero cuando he visto la ciudad desde el Castillo de Gibralforo, entiendo en realidad como grande la ciudad es. Hay edificios antiguos, casas blancas, puertos, y playas a lejos – pequeños blancos están en las montañas que rodea Málaga, como los paredes de un cuenco. Después, fuimos a dentro de la casa desde las murallas y descubrimos otra lugar. Los diseños del castillo me encanta, con no falta de detallas. Muchas de las cosas no están en el castillo ahora, pero el castillo queda.

Naturally, there were many pictures to be taken of us in different parts of the castle – even after Daniel’s many complaints, haha.
Naturalmente, hay muchos fotos – aunque con Daniel´s muchos quejos, jaja.
That was the extent of our Sunday! Not very interesting beyond el Castillo de Gibralforo, but that’s another thing checked off the bucket list!
Nos vemos,
Kenna
