MALAGA 🇪🇦 – Gibraltar’s closest metropolis! | 2023 |
So it was Thursday Thursday the 20th of December 1990 the residents of South London were absolutely surprised when a massive bright star appeared above Lam hospital as on this day I was born enough with the jokes today is my birthday though and what we’re going to do now is let’s try and find this Christmas Market here
In Malika come on so there we are guys the 20th of December 2023 that is the day today we’re outside the city hall of Malaga we’re going to take a little stroll around the city as we try to locate the Christmas Market now the weather is actually quite below
Average at at the moment and it is raining just a little bit is just spitting as we go around but the temperature is about 15° now it’s later on in the evening so if you saw part one we were in benad we have now made our way by train
From bad all the way to Malaga it was only about 25 minute train ride we’re in the center here now Malaga is one of my favorite cities in Spain I’ve been coming been here for a very long time now for at least 12 years or so it’s absolutely
Beautiful I mean it is much better in the sunshine obviously but even now the streets are packed you can see people filling out the restaurants here people doing their Christmas shopping there is a really good Buzz around town there are so many tourists as well so yeah you can
See with the cheap flights and yeah people are coming over there traveling and it those those Co days are now just a distant memory as we make our way into Malaga City Center we want to get down to the park down by the park I think that’s
Where the Christmas Market is I’ve never been to the Malaga Christmas Market before so this is a first for me but yeah we’re having a beautiful look around here the main Square you see the restaurants those heaters going and you definitely need the heaters today it is freezing here but yeah it’s a
Fantastic way to spend my birthday just going around one of my favorite cities I definitely recommend it to anyone coming to J or if you’re flying into Malaga then might be worth to stop and spend the night in Malaga and check out the city center here although prices in
Malaga for this time of year were very expensive hence the reason we stayed outside on the costell so but yeah yeah absolutely worth it we’re in the main Square now and you can see how wet the pavement is this is very very unusual weather for here in the south of
Spain we’ve come to a place where they make Tron which is a typical Spanish Suite that’s eaten around Christmas time you can see the woman making it there we finally made it to the Christmas Market on the P Del Parky and let’s have a look at what
Stalls they’ve got if you’re coming up to Malaga in the next few weeks over the Christmas period this is what you can expect now probably my biggest advice I can give you is if you are visiting this Market you can see I bought some fireworks there if you are visiting this
Market coming the night time I think there’s going to be more stuff open it’s about 5:00 in the evening now here is a bit quiet and the weather is a bit miserable and rainy but you can see they’ve got a lot of things to do they s
A hell of a lot fireworks I just I just could resist buying some so there we are but yeah we’re going through now you can see all the little Nativity statues I mean I don’t know if anyone actually buys this if this is aimed at tourists
Or if the locals come down and buy all these stuffs I I mean I know the kids buy the fireworks cuz there’s one a couple of days the year where if you’re out on the streets in Spain there are just kids lobing fireworks everywhere I think that could be the 6th of January
Or 3 Kings day which is proba bigger than Christmas in the Spanish culture bigger bigger than our Christmas day anyway the 25th constantly but yeah as we going through now you can see just a couple of people I think quite a lot of things are handmade here and it’s quite
A similar setup to the bagin at Christmas Market if you saw that video the part one to this but that was much that was on much smaller scale you see this one’s uh much larger but it sells more or less the same sort of stuff let’s push on forward now as we’re
Coming to the end of the market you can see some I think half of the stuff they’re selling here is tat I would never buy and have no interest in but you know I’m sure you can find some good things as I said I did buy the fireworks
So I was pretty happy with that I’m looking forward to letting them off in ja BR somewhere where I’m not going to get in trouble but yeah Absol lovely we can see here maybe we’ll do a video with him do some pyate technices who knows but yeah we’re just passing through you
Can see some more stands so there we are guys that was the Christmas Market here at Malaga tell me what you think about that I think it would probably be a bit more impressive if we came to see it in the evening now what we’re going to do is we’re going to
Take a walk around town just as the Sun starts to set here although sun isn’t really out we’ll try and get those Christmas lights for you come on so let’s head back into Malaga old town and we’re going to go a little bit off piece now cuz we look at some of the
Historical sites here in the city center this is the Roman ampi Theater here in manager it’s been very well preserved and it’s absolutely stunning sight and it’s right in the center of the old town so definitely worth a visit didn’t really have time to go around do it all
We can see the jble Pharaoh Castle there the old fortress built by the moish to protect the city definitely two major tourist points to see let’s make our way through the town now as we head towards the Christmas lights as it starts to get dark we’ve arrived here at Malaga
Cathedral we just got some brief shots there you can see the Spire so as the sun sets here in Malaga our time is slowly coming to an end but the last thing we’re going to show you guys is this city lit up in its glorious Christmas lights now you can’t come to
Malago without trying the tap pass from one of the many tap pass bars here and we’ve got a mixture we got potato salad Russian salad then we got tuna Tac tacky with smoked sardines so just want to show you some typical stuff there to eat but here we are we’ve arrived in the
Main square of Malika at the Christmas lights and this is their big Christmas cone if you can call it that and you can see it towering over the center of maliva we take our first look down laros street this is the main High Street so guys this is the reason we’re
Actually here in Malaga to see the world famous Christmas lights as they light up malaga’s Main High Street here karios and it is absolutely fantastic site and you can see those Christmas lights going down for at least a kilometer kilometer and a half there it’s absolutely spectacular it’s
Definitely worth the trip to come and see these you can just see the lights go on for Miles there are so many people here taking photos and taking videos so it definitely is a must se but yeah you can see the lights go the whole length of the street there it’s absolutely
Fantastic to see but I’m going to leave you just with a final shot of these trees lit up for Christmas so very good morning guys and we’re back in jalta today after our little trip to Malaga yesterday and I hope you enjoyed that I hope you enjoyed seeing the Christmas lights now normally
This time of year I will go back to London but this year we’re staying in Jaa so I’m going to bring you some more videos around Jaa during the festive period but for me here in Campion Park I’ll see you all on the next adventure
