Crossing Atlantic Ocean by "loveboat"

Just four days after my return from Italy I flew to Malaga in Spain to participate on a cruise of 16 days with m/v "Discovery" ( known as "Loveboat" in 1980's TV-serie).
I spent the evening and next day in the nostalgig alleys and bars of the old town , where I used to live in 1964-65. The city was a Phoenician harbour already over 3000 years ago before Carthaginians and later Romans took it over. Berber troops, called Moros by Spanish people,conquered southern Spain year 711 and Christians on their turn took Malaga in 1487 and Granada 1492.
In the evening of Nov.18 we sailed towards Gibraltar, which I have visited several times. Next day I just strolled on busy streets of this British rock city, sipping good wines and lazily looking the windows. And I found a fine whisky colour leather jacket for 200 euros! The morning after we were in Cadiz, another very old, charming Spanish harbour city. Continuing the same procedure, some wine, some nice food in tiny family restaurants near market place, I managed to find very suitable, but inexpensive shoes for my new leather jacket. Then I made a decission. This is enough of shopping, maybe some souvenir T-shirts from Caribbean. We left that evening and sailed the whole day and next night to arrive to Funchal in Madeira in the morning of Nov.22. I found, after making a round tour with a double-decker sightseeing bus, the city very beautiful but boring. The replica of Columbus's "Santa Maria" 1:1 in harbour was most interesting.
