Castillo de El-Bil-Bil

An obnoxious monument used to lure tourists into making them think that there is any form of respect or reverence towards Muslim Andalusi culture and tradition .

A place build to look as a Muslim palace or mosque ,where in reality there is hardly any place for Muslims to pray in this area,especially for tourists like myself. I literally rushed to this building hoping I will find a peaceful place to mediate and pray. To realise it was a place for entertainment and that's about all. To make it even more disgusting,the municipality has placed a nude statue in a small park just meters away from this centre.

This is a clear representation of how the local authorities fail to understand cultural sensitivities and fail to cater for a growing Muslim population that help the city grow and contribute to the local economy and its heritage.

I have visited Malaga several times through the years and I must say very little progress has been made. There are very little places to worship and mediate in peace and more and more pubs and clubs.

I have literally seen a British tourist ,excuse me , relieving himself in a public green space . Is this the type of tourists you are looking to attract?

And then you wonder why the local citizens have become increasingly distressed at the disrespect shown by some of the visitors.
