This photo was taken during my city trip to Málaga, Spain, on the hill on which the Moorish fortress Alcazaba is also built. I looked out on the Roman amphitheatre built there in the first century AD but only rediscovered in the 1950s, it has now been restored to its former glory as much as possible and can be visited by all.
I was here in the month of May and I can recommend it to everyone because that is when the beautiful jacaranda trees bloom. Here you can see behind the theatre but the whole of Malaga is full of them. Thanks to the evening colours, the purple blossom comes out especially well.
Further away in the skyline, the tower of Malaga Cathedral, also called "La Manquita" can be seen. It should actually have been two towers but the church was never completed and the second tower remained unfinished.
Locations like this are great for anyone who loves travel photography, history and architecture. I love wandering around the city in the morning or at night (when the light is nice and soft) and photographing everything I see.
