Walking along the emblematic Street Granada in the midst of preparations.

Autumn afternoon, but with warmth in the air and festive moods.

Winter is a month away, but this afternoon it was over 20 degrees, warm and humid in the air, a few clouds, but not threatening.

I wasn't the only one walking, many people were doing the same as me and even more so in the historic downtown streets.

One of the most famous streets in the centre is Street Granada, full of colour, shops of all kinds and a very particular architectural style.

This walk starts at the Plaza de la Constitución where you can already see the preparations for the Christmas lights switch-on party. In the distance I see Street Larios already dressed for the party, but still with the lights off. Everything is ready for the big day.

Ever since I arrived in Spain I have known that this street is one of the most important, apart from the ones I always mention as Street Larios.

Street Granada is always the centre of parades, parades, cavalcades and much more. There are all kinds of shops and it is one of the most decorated streets when there are events.

The Christmas decorations are already in place and are beautiful and eye-catching to see all along the route. According to my research, the lighting of the lights will take place on the last Friday in November. I will look forward to that date, it will be great as always.

On my walk and exploration of this street, as I mentioned, there are a variety of shops and many of them are ice cream parlours, at least on the first part of the walk.

The shops blend in with the old buildings, and if you look up you can see the characteristic windows and balconies.

There are also shops selling the classic turrones and sweets, which, although they are busier at this time of year, have buyers all year round.

At a certain point, this street joins many others and there is a lot of people and most of the shops are restaurants of all kinds and many of them have beautiful decorations.

If I keep looking up I can see the old buildings that always stand out and are beautiful with an old design that I love.

A circle where many streets come together and form a group of buildings with the cathedral in the background.

But my aim was not to turn off but to continue along Calle Granada, although you have to look carefully at the signs because the streets are not straight and you have to look for the continuation.

When I got back on the right track I came across a very beautiful shop with a variety of products, most of them decorations, but what I like most are the lamps, although the owls are very funny and I can't deny that the earrings are beautiful.

These narrow streets are often empty of people, and they look beautiful. People concentrate on the most important streets.

It is not unusual that Street Granada is one of the most famous for its shops, but also for its great gastronomic variety. I was able to take pictures of several of the restaurants there.

Of course, you can't miss the souvenir stalls and bags with typical illustrations of the city. People walk along this street all the time and all the time, day and night, there are tourists on it.

I always love to see these nicely decorated balconies, it is typical of the city.

I don't think I had ever paid attention to how many of the shops are ice-cream parlours, there are so many interspersed with the souvenir shops and decorations.

I could also see doors like this one, I love the wood and the way it is made. The old buildings still have this kind of details.

Walking and finishing this long tour, as this street is quite long, I could find a very beautiful mural, a very well painted hand, it alludes to the characteristic flamenco of this part of the country. Beautiful colours.

And the street says goodbye with the narrowest street and where it seems that the balconies of the buildings are going to touch at some point. This happens a lot in the city and it catches my attention.

On my walks I try to look everywhere, looking for those details that perhaps I have not seen before and that make the difference and make me know a little more of the beautiful Malaga.

Thank you all very much for joining me on this walk. Best regards and see you soon.
