If there is a place we have not been or something we have not seen, they have and they can tell you. For example, that in El Boquetillo, in Fuengirola (province of Málaga, Spain), there are many wonderful murals in Calle Valladolid and Calle La Paz. On houses that would probably qualify from "not special" to "rather ugly", artists have left their mark on the landscape. Their names are Mon Devane, Lula Goce, Lidia Cao, Murfin, Steve Camino, EL Alfil, Not Japi, Kato, Francisco Alarcón Pérez, Lalone, Nesui, José Fernández Ríos, Slim Safont, Wedo Goás y Lily Brick (I found them in a newspaper and I hope I did not forget anyone).</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Hind Madurai;">I will go back there for sure.

Since we were invited to a book presentation in a café there yesterday, we had some time to walk around the streets before the event. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Hind Madurai;">As always, it was a shock to see how Malaga's center has become an intense tourist space. The shops were all open, the weather was nice, it looked like people were buying and eating to forget about what is going on in the world.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Hind Madurai;">After navigating through the absolutely crowded center, it was a relief to be back in Lagunillas, not far from those streets where I couldn't find a space to walk and think. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Hind Madurai;">Since 2016, some houses have been demolished, others have been rehabilitated to serve as... tourist accommodations. So it will only be a matter of time before the small shops I saw yesterday ("ultramarinos", "carnicería"...) also disappear, when the owners get too old or die, and no tourist needs to buy there, because they get their food in the restaurants in the center or order it by phone. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: "Hind Madurai";">I did not take many pictures because it was getting dark.

You are in the here and now. You use your phone only as a camera (it takes worse pictures, but faster). Later, when you are back home, on the noisy concrete coast, you will want to remember the sound of water running in the middle of the street, the smell of overripe figs and mulberries.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

We met a dog that could have been the brother of our late Nicki, same color, same coat, same eyes. But the dog was free and happy and we knew that he had an owner. For him the best constellation ever.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: "Hind Madurai";">Enjoy some views of the picturesque Pampaneira, by day and by night.
