On the day before we took off with our, 12 friends from the USA and Canada joined tourguide Mark on the Guided City Tour in city of Malaga -in the south of Spain- to explore the rich history and some local cuisine. 

We started with a glimpse at the gate of the Mercado Central de Atarzanas, where the Moors went out of the city into the port, before it became the entrance of the oldest market of Malaga. 

Unfortunately the bullfight arena was closed for public due to an event, but we had a view on the outside of the arena while enjoying a very good coffee before headint to the Gibralfaro. This is a fortress on top of the mountains, overviewing attacks from the mainland as well from overseas. The reigning power went over between the Moors and Romans couple of timesover the centuries, which is also very visible in the architecture in the rest of the city. 

Just a short stroll took us to the Alcazaba, which is a fortress, where remains have been found dating from the 9th century! Can you even imagine?!

A nice lunch with delicious tapas let us continue into the Picasso museum and the birthhouse of this world-famous artist.

Today is our first restday.

One group decides to use the time for taking the motorcycles for an additional ride, the others are walking to the city center of Sevilla for a sightseeing tour.

A great and sunny day!

Today we leave Zafra and our route takes us to Cordoba.

We are back in Andaluzia and have fun on some wonderfull roads with beautifull landscapes across the Sierra Morena.

Finally we arrived on our last riding day in Malaga again. 
All a little bit sad that the time has gone so fast, but satisfied of the experiences during the last 10 days, we enjoy our last evening together.

A group of strangers turned in a group of motorcycling friends once again.

We hope to see you all on one of our next Edelweiss tours somewhere else in the world.

Your tourguides,

Michaela, Mark and Henning
