Back in Denmark, few things is as enjoyable as Rørvig, even though it seems like half of all Charlottenlund’s families (a wealthy surburb to Copenhagen) are buying a house up there these days. Hopefully Rørvig won’t become the new Hornbœk, and my plan is to restrict Rørvig house-buyers to hillbillies or family relatives. Or at least to people from Charlottenlund, of whom I like. Period.
In my pessimistic and relatively aggressive mode, I am currently finding comfort in reading Carlos Ruiz Zafon’s novel called The Shadow of The Wind. A very interesting, and well written book about a young boy from Barcelona who gets his fingers in a very special book. Many of the scenarios from the book, reminds me of Malaga which I visited for half a day last week (see last post - underneath). I’ve never been to Barcelona, but it seems like many of the old areas of the two cities are very much alike. The size is of course a bit different from each other, but they share beautiful cathedrals and many beige coloured houses and buildings. Also the many small streets and squares made of bricks, seems to pride each city.
Both cities are well-known seaports, and famous for having especially one famed artist each: Pablo Picasso in Malaga, and Salvador Dali in Barcelona. Malaga also has Antonio Banderas to brag with, while Barcelona’s football team is an inch better than their southern counterparts.
Anyhow, I have uploaded some pictures from Malaga. They all seem to capture some of the atmosphere around the andalusian coast, and especially this famous southern seaport.
