The trees you mention I don't recall. I do remember the palm tree along the thoroughfare that paralleled the Med. I had just bought a camera and so I must have taken 10 rolls of pix of Malaga, thence to Mallorca.
Did you got to Torremolinos? I spent some time in several night clubs over there. I hope they don't remember me unkindly.
Malaga was the first city in which history became real for me. I toured some fortress in which the Phoenician, Greek, Roman, Moorish, and Spanish construction had been revealed. I took pix with my old Yashica SLR in Kodachrome as the sun went low on the horizon. The pix are so beautiful that I wish I had the artistic skill to claim I had planned it.
If you give 1,000 monkey's a Yashica SLR eventually one of the will take a good photograph.
