Had heard so much about El Rocío over the years, and eventually managed to get here, despite it being a bit of a trek from wherever you are, but worth it to combine with the Parque National de Doñana. Unfortunately rather geared up for tourists , and coach loads come daily. Restaurants and hotels similarly so, and the prices reflect this. The location though is incomparable. The sandy streets, and the hitching posts outside the buildings, are set up for the horses and carriages that are an integral part of this town. The church is worth a visit, with its unbelievably ornate gilded reredos. Not sure where the famous statue of the Virgin Mary had gone, as you can see the space where she should be.....haven’t yet managed to find out where to get this information! But simply spectacular were the marismas overlooked by the town. Don’t miss taking the paths along the side of these... preferably not (like us) leaving your binoculars in the car! These were just teeming with wildlife, various species of ducks, wading birds, and two large flocks of flamingoes who weren’t at all put off by the proximity of humans.

He guided visit local route in the Hamma Bury Castle, it is a prickly Almohad fortress that has been completely preserved dese the tenth century, thanks to its fabulous wall made of mud. Inside found archaeological remains from the Bronze Age along with remains of a Roman mausoleum. During the visit they will meet the fierce fighting that occurred between Muslims and Christians until the final conquest in 1225 by Fernando III El Santo, the keep and alcalzarejo are Christian era.

There is really nothing close to this Castle and this was not on our itinerary. There is a small town called Banos just off the highway about half a kilometer away. A turnoff takes you right to the castle. It costs 3 pesos to get inside and it is worth it though the staff speak only Spanish. The castle was built in the 17 c and it has very formidable walls. Having just arrived from Toledo, there is not much featured here in comparison. The views are very spectacular. I recommend stopping here.

Not sure how we heard of this statue, but we certainly wanted to find it and see it. We had seen the one outside of Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, and so it seemed like a thing to do in Malaga. Even though we knew the “general” location (the busy intersection of Calle Molina Lario and the Plaza de la Marina) it wasn’t that easy to find. It is about 100 - 200 feet in from the intersection and trees & kiosks sort of block the view unless you really look. It’s a wonderful statue and certainly a photo op.... It is as nice as the other in Copenhagen. Half the fun was trying to find it.

For most democratic countries the approval of a Constitution is a history landmark. In Spain the Constitution is known as the Cadiz Constitution because it was approved by the Cortes gathered in Cadiz. No wonder that the most majestic open air monument of this city is to remember that Historical moment. Enjoy!
