Málaga
Málaga's history spans about 2,800 years, making it one of the oldest cities in the world. It was founded by the Phoenicians as Malaka about 770 BC, and from the 6th century BC was under the hegemony of Ancient Carthage. Then, from 218 BC, it was ruled by the Roman Republic and later the Roman Empire as Malaca. After the fall of the empire and the end of Visigothic rule, it was under Islamic rule as Mālaqah for 800 years, but in 1487, the Crown of Castille gained control after the Reconquista. The archaeological remains and monuments from the Phoenician, Roman, Arabic and Christian eras make the historic centre of the city an "open museum", displaying its history of nearly 3,000 years.

In Malaga our hotel was just across the “river” (a dry riverbed turned into a recreation area) from the old town so it was easy to wheel Snow there though on the last day he managed somewhere around 200 stairs (up and down) to see the roof of the Cathedral (a building that took 300 years to build and it is still not finished) part of this building was once washed into the sea you can see the ruined walls, but this can not happen now as there has been lots of land reclaimed, though that part of the building has never been rebuilt.
