I arrived in Malaga on 5th of January 2013. Our hostel Residencia Malaga Backpackers was located 3 km from the Malaga city centre to the East, in the street Jeronimo Bobadilla. I had a single room with a common bathroom. I felt cold the first two night before receiving a radiator.
The next day I took a bus (1,30 e) and walked through the historical centre of Malaga. While I was drinking my caña (small bear) at Plaza del Osbipo, three pidgeons tried to eat my pop corn. The caña cost 2,50 euros, and the tapa was included in price. Tapas are small appetizers or snacks.

I’m going to learn Spanish for the next 6 months. At first I will study 4 months (27.8-21.12.2012) in Hartola, Finland, and then 2 months (7.1-2.3.2013) in Malaga, Spain. There are 25 hours of lessons per week.
After completing the Spanish course in March 2013 I will probably travel to Dominican Republic for two months. Later, possibly in autumn 2013, I’m going to travel through all Central American countries.

Last Saturday I went to see the opening of the 29th Tampere Floral Festival at the Central Square of Tampere and took 27 photos: Tampere Floral Festival 2012.

It took about an hour by bus from Nuweiba to Taba, then 10-15 minutes to walk to the border. Israeli border formalities were more thorough than anywhere else, with an interview about travel plans, especially to Palestinian areas. I told that I’m not interested in politics.

I checked the bus timetable Dahab-Nuweiba in Lonely Planet Middle East, but in the bus station I got to know there was no 4 pm bus, the next bus is leaving at 6:30 pm. I should have asked for example in my hotel about Nuweiba buses.
