La Capilla del Puerto de Málaga

A small church at one end of a shallow pool.

The chapel of the port of Málaga sits right in the middle of a now busy tourist area. It’s flanked by expensive restaurants, with towering apartment blocks behind it for tourists.

A review on Google maps (and Tripadvisor) is enlightening.

This is the Chapel of the Port of Malaga. Erected as an oratory in 1531 further out in the port area, but moved closer inland, brick by brick in 1719 and inaugurated as a chapel a few years later. It was used to say mass for seamen who were often extremely religious due in part to their dangerous profession. It’s a very old building and when juxtaposed against the modernity of Malaga Port, seems oddly out of place, yet all the more beautiful. Not a must see, but worth a detour if in the port area.

I can’t comment on how accurate that review is, as I couldn’t find any “official” page about the chapel, at least in English.

Purple Lights and a Pyramid

Purple lights on a tree reflect off the wet ground and a glass pyramid at night

Bright purple lights on a tree reflect off the ground after a friend shower in Málaga. The pyramid is the “Pirámide de Cristal” which is a glass pyramid that is there at least 11 years.

Ancient ruins are visible through the glass, which are apparently, “Roman basins belonging to a salted fish factory from the second half of 4th century A.D. The basins were used to make the fish sauce called garum.” according to wikimapia.

Look to the right of this image and you’ll see a large statue of one of the Kings, as this photo was taken just before January 6th.

Out of shot are the ruins of the Roman Theatre and the Alcazaba, a fort built or rebuilt up to the 14th century.

The Lights of the Samuel Beckett Bridge

Lights reflect off a bridge and nearby building on the waters of a river at night

The Samuel Beckett Bridge in Dublin and the lights of the Convention Centre Dublin fight for attention. Red and Green lights reflect off the River Liffey on a warm October evening earlier this year.

The Tide is Out

Low tide on the River Lee recently, but with the talk of drought in Europe this summer, it’s hard not to jump to the conclusion that the water level is extra low.

I drove by the river yesterday evening during high tide. The water was only 30cm or less below the level of the street, an extremely high tide, and quite a contrast to the low!
