Malagá City Centre tour

Classes ended around 5:15pm.  Afterward we had a guided tour of the city center scheduled, hosted by Fernando, one of the school’s teachers.  We all piled on the city bus and rode for about 10-15 minutes to downtown.  There were Italian students on the bus with usz. There were very friendly and eager to make friends with us.  They are her to learn languages as well, Spanish and English.

 Our first stop was the “Plaza de Toros”

The city’s popular bullfighting rink.  It’s currently under construction but it’s a big part of Spanish and Malagán history.  Bullfights are not as popular as in the past and they only have them about 2-3 times a year. Most of the world see the killing of the bull as inhuman and the Spanish have been under a lot of pressure to eliminate this tradition that they’ve practiced for hundreds of years.

Next up we walked to the main downtown strip.  There you could also find city hall, la alcazaba, and many other ancient landmarks.  At this point a few kid got the city scooter (just like the ones we have in Atlanta and they had a blast)
