Botanical Gardens, Cathedral and Tapas Lunch in Malaga, Malaga, Spain

I鈥檓 really enjoying being back in Malaga and today we have sun! It鈥檚 nice to revisit familiar places from last time but I always like to do some new things in a place I鈥檝e been to before. And one of my top intentions was to visit the famous botanical gardens 鈥� Jardin Botanico La Concepcion 鈥� which are about 6km north of the city. I鈥檇 read you could take a No.2 bus from the centre but the hotel seemed a bit horrified, telling me yesterday when I asked that it was a long walk along a busy road from the bus stop. Taking the city鈥檚 tourist bus would be a better option as it would take me straight there.

I started the day with an excellent buffet breakfast in the hotel 鈥� Salles Hotel Malaga Centro. The basement eating area had been completely redone since my last visit and was very attractive with an excellent choice of foods. There was anything you could possibly want for breakfast!

Well fed, I consulted the bus times and saw the first wasn鈥檛 until 11am 鈥� and there were gaps of 1hr 15mins between them. Another helpful woman at reception suggested, Why not take a cab; it was only about 鈧�10. She also pointed out that with all the rain it would be very wet; the gardens were beautiful and perhaps I could go another day. But they鈥檙e closed on Mondays and I return home on Tuesday so I decided to just go today. There are taxis outside the hotel; it cost 鈧�9. However, when we arrived we could see flooding at the entrance. The driver asked some men if they were opening and they said yes, but there would be no entrance fee today. ......
