I went to Spain for Easter holiday. It was the first time for me to go there! Since I decided to join my friends only before the holiday, I had no idea where “Malaga” was. I took Easy jet for the first time, and flew from Luton airport. I could sleep really well on the place as it was so early in the morning, so I felt it was really short time. Once we arrived there, I felt the air was so warm…feeling happy~~~. We took a train from there to the centre of Malaga.

イースター休みにスペインに行ってきました！出発の少し前にクラスメートに便乗したので、行き先の「マラガ」がどういう所かノーヒントで旅立った訳ですが。初EasyJetでルートン空港から出発。朝早かったからすっかり機内熟睡であっという間にスペインへ。外へ出るなり暖かい空気が・・・幸せ〜。そこから電車でマラガの中心部へ。

スペインの（もしくはマラガの、というべきか）第一印象はエキセントリックな色をした日本の団地エリア？？？色々な装飾がされているイギリスの建物と違ってプレーンな四角い建物が多い。でも、色使いがやっぱり日本とは違うし、ヤシの木とかも多くて不思議な感じ。更にそこからバスでMelting Potというホステルへ。思ってたよりはキレイで安心。荷物を置いた後は、ビーチの辺りを散歩しに行きました。

My first impression of Spain (or I should say Malaga) was Japanese apartment area with strange colours??? Being different from British buildings, Spanish buildings looked rather plain rectangle. But the colour is different from Japanese ones, and there is a lot of palm trees so they looked so interesting. From the centre, we went to the hostel called Melting Pot. It was cleaner that I thought, so relieved. After leaving the luggage, we went to have a walk along the beach.

It was a bit a shame that there were some places where were under construction… The sand was rather dark like Japanese beaches, and also as the weather was not so good at first, it looked “port” rather than “beach”. But still, long, long beach line looked amazing. Walking for a while, we went to a cafe along the beach, and went back to the city centre to have a dinner.

なんか残念ながら工事中のエリアも多く・・・砂浜はどちらかと言うと日本のように黒っぽい感じで、暫くは曇っていたせいもあってビーチというよりは「港」な雰囲気。。。それでも延々と続く海岸線はなんだか圧巻。しばらくブラブラと歩いて、ビーチ沿いのカフェでコーヒー飲んだりした後は、シティセンターへ戻って夕飯を食べました。

The fist paella in Spain! I loved it. Seems I can expect much about foods….to be continued to Day2.

初パエーリャ in スペイン！！！美味しかったあ〜。ムール貝だぁ。こんなのイギリスじゃ見かけなかったぞ。これは食事が楽しめそうです。。。２日目へ続く。
