Today was the last Monday in Málaga.
Mondays are distinct.
On our first morning here, the property manager advised:
Never buy fish on Monday. The fish market is closed. Fish is not fresh.
So, on Mondays, never order fish.
Also, on Mondays, many museums are closed.
Our first Monday here, we taxied to the Botanical Gardens.
Closed.
The Museum of Málaga, closed.
The Military Museum, closed.
The Flamenco Museum, closed.
On Mondays, fewer people fill the streets.
The restaurants, the bars.
The movie theater.
So, Mondays in Málaga,
never ever eat fish.
Most museums are out,
but stroll where you wish.
The port, the old city.
The gardens and parks.
Alcazaba, Cathedral.
Both are landmarks.
Walk north, walk south.
Málaga’s full of surprises.
History pops out.
Can never guess what arises.
