The rainy season lasted quite a long time, longer than usual for the city. Normally, it doesn't rain or rains very little, especially in autumn and winter, as here in the city it never rains for almost six months, which is how long spring and summer last. It would seem that it should be a dry climate, but the proximity to the sea makes it humid.

This year has been atypical, at least in the seven and a half years I have been in the city. The rainy season lasted almost a month, a little intermittent, but it prevented me from going on the walks I like. Luckily, a few days ago the sun came out steadily and the landscapes came back to life, as did the colours of the plants, the sea and even the lives of the people.

I know that in many parts of Spain things have been very bad, especially with the floods and strong winds, as well as the snow. Here in some neighbourhoods in the east of the city there have been some problems, with sea waves destroying parts of the promenades and I suppose water has entered the houses or buildings closest to the sea. But the damage is not as severe as in other parts.

I always enjoy walking along the promenade, especially on the east side of the city, which is quieter. I love the buildings I see on one side and, above all, I find small spaces in the middle of the streets and roads, spaces with plants, trees and, above all, different species of cacti that are so characteristic of the city.

These areas remain green despite it being winter, and at the slightest sign of warmth, the flowers begin to bloom. It was a beautiful day with a temperature of around twenty degrees, a sign that winter is coming to an end and giving way to bright sunshine, warmth, flowers and much more.

Winter here is very short, at least in my opinion, as the summer weather extends well beyond the calendar date and begins much earlier. I like that, as I can enjoy exploring and going to faraway places without the risk of rain or inclement weather. Although, to be honest, the climate in Malaga is very stable. I always say it's like living under a dome. Here, for example, sudden changes in temperature, which I experienced constantly in Argentina, are not common.

This oasis that I found between two avenues gave me the opportunity to take a different kind of walk, as if it were a small world isolated from the rest, and it is strange that the noise of the cars could not be heard within the small internal paths. I love that.

These paths had many species of cetaceans, palm trees, and other trees, and I loved looking up to see how tall they were, as well as their foliage, and trying to see the sky between them.

But also, during the walk, the thick greenery, plants, and bushes left a gap through which I could see the road and, with it, the view of the sea, which was not so far away in reality.

I love to appreciate the green of the treetops, which in this case had a lot of yellow, but also the trunks and roots, which are very unique.

The sun illuminated everything and made every view, every landscape, shine before my eyes. I felt that summer was approaching again and that many walks through surprising and new places were to come.

Thank you very much for joining me on this Wednesday walk. I send you my warmest regards. See you soon.
