The streets around the gardens and residential areas in Florence were full of the fragrance of delicate purple flowers, called Wisteria which grow in drooping clusters.

Sunday Trees in Malaga (3): Tree trunk with thorns
Silk floss tree is known for its beautiful flowers, large seedpods with a silky, cottony substance (kapok) within, and large thorns that grow from the greenish bark of the trunk protecting the trunk and limbs.

The streets of Malaga
Málaga’s history spans about 2,800 years, making it one of the oldest cities in Europe and one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. According to most scholars, it was founded about 770 BC.
If you are fan of branded items. This street has so much to offer.
I was caught up by the colours of the buildings and their fancy balconies.
This important cultural infrastructure and the artistic heritage have culminated in the nomination of Málaga as a candidate for the 2016 European Capital of Culture.
The painter and sculptor Pablo Picasso, Hebrew poet and Jewish philosopher Solomon Ibn Gabirol and the actor Antonio Banderas were born in Málaga.

Nurturing Thursday: Now!
Remember that there is only one important time and that is now. The present moment is the only time over which we have dominion. The most important person is always the person you are with, who is right before you, for who knows if you will have dealings with any other person in the future? The most important pursuit is making the person standing at your side happy, for that alone is the pursuit of life ~
- Are we losing the fun of meeting people since we are more curious in knowing what’s happening in other’s life?
- Do you put your mobile on silent when you are a host or a visitor (except for an emergency of course)?
- Do you spend time with your family without using internet?
For Becca’s Nurturing Thursday!
I would appreciate if you have any suggestions/tips on travelling to Florence, say something not to be missed 🙂
Thanks in advance
