There is a completely different perception from above a city. At street level there are few landmarks, the sun does not permeate to that level and working out one's position in relation to the rest of the city can be tricky.
But it is easy to climb to the Gibralfaro, the citadel on the hill overlooking Malaga. From here one can see the streets, work out their position in relation to the sea or the hills or the river.
This picture shows the Plaza Merced which is close to our apartment in the Calle Pena.
And here we see the Teatro Cervantes, and the H-shaped roof in the middle of the right edge of the photo is in fact the roof of our apartment block. It is interesting to look down on one's home and of course Google Earth gives a very similar picture of the area although the picture there was taken before out apartment was built whereas this was taken today.
