I visited Malaga, in 1967 or '68. I didn't see the Alcazaba there. I do remember the city being quite crowded with tourists, as it was on your visit.
My visit to Spain lasted at least 6 weeks. It was mostly a lazy break from life, and summer in Andalusia was perfect for that. History (which I love) lives in the small streets and villages of the region.
Thanks for a great tour. I missed this site the first time around, but your tour was most satisfying :)
