I’ve been busy most of the day and topped it off with a 2-1/2-hour walk to another area I hadn’t visited before. We’re about to video chat with Nick and Alyson who can’t get here because the trains are still not running their usual schedules and, when they do run, seats and times are limited. I just read that trains from Málaga might not be back “on track” until the third week in March. This is just a quick post to share other old archways in the old Roman wall, including the Almadóvar Gate immediately below.
The most exciting part for me was when I passed the entrance to the old chariot parking lot which serves the same purpose after 2,000 years. I wonder if it’s still run by the same family.
He estado ocupado casi todo el día y lo rematé con una caminata de dos horas y media a otra zona que no había visitado antes. Estamos a punto de hacer una videollamada con Nick y Alyson, quienes no pueden venir porque los trenes aún no operan con sus horarios habituales y, cuando operan, las plazas y los horarios son limitados. Acabo de leer que los trenes desde Málaga podrían no volver a operar hasta la tercera semana de marzo. Esta es solo una publicación rápida para compartir otros arcos antiguos de la antigua muralla romana, incluyendo la Puerta de Almadóvar justo debajo.
Lo más emocionante para mí fue pasar por la entrada del antiguo aparcamiento de carruajes Romanos, que cumple la misma función después de 2000 años. Me pregunto si aún lo gestiona la misma familia.

Parking has always been at a premium!
Debra:
I think the gladiators got a discount.
Dammit! I want more arches! Arches in homes and in exterior walls! Arches into parking lots! Squared off doorways and entranceways are boring and give no sense of grace. And we need more arches for windows, too.
We just do.

Ms. Moon:
When in Rome…
At least you don’t need anyone to feed your car when you park???
I love those old arches especially that last one that peeks into an entirely different space.
Bob:
That arch takes you from a plaza in one neighborhood into an entirely different (and different looking) neighborhood.
Parking is an ancient issue. I wonder if a lot of those clay tablets were parking tickets?
Boud:
Yes! A common one reads: in zona viae remotae collocatus (parked in tow away zone)
Lovely blue skies!
Kelly:
Glorious! There might be some clouds for contrast today.
How fabulous! Isn’t it always the case – if you see an arch like that, in a wall like that, you simply have to go through it, just for a nose around? I do. Jx
Jon:
And I did. And it was worth it.
What stunning architecture!!!!! Reminds me of a Medieval story book locale! I hope I can get back to reading blogs soon…between work and shows, I’m getting far behind.
Mistress Maddie:
And you’re missed. This is, for me, a magical location.
You mean there are arches that aren’t golden?
Kirk:
Who knew?!?
What a wonderful place to explore and walk,
David
And I’ve really seen and shared so little.
