Vastaukseni / here’s my entry:
Actually the book is not the arena – it’s my head!!!!
Big shadows this week
On my morning walk last Saturday I noticed the door was open to
Málaga’s bullfight arena. I wanted to see it but not the bullfight.
I got a free ticket to….
…coffee promotion!
I was on my walk so I didn’t taste the coffee but I took a few photos.
History of La Malagueta
“La Malagueta itself was built in 1874, by the architect Joaquín Rucoba. The first fight took place on 11th June 1876.”

It was quite empty but when I left there were lots of people coming in.

My studying is going ok but Spanish grammar is difficult for me.
So much to remember!
But I’ve noticed how much more I understand when reading a newspaper
or watching television. Something has happened in my head!
How’s your week been, good?
*There aren’t enough days in the weekend.*

Tunnilla tulee piirrettyä kaikenlaista ja opsiekltua siinä sivussa
Olen muuten ollut katsomassa härkätaistelua Malagan areenalla. Hmm, pakkohan sitä oli käydä katsomassa, jotta tietäisi, mitä mieltä asiasta on. Lähtiessä oli samaa mieltä kuin sinne mennessäkin: älytöntä julmuutta.

Viime viikkoina on piirtely jäänyt – kirjoitan sitäkin enemmän.
Meidän tahti on kova ja kymmeniä uusia sanoja tulee päivittäin. Miten ihmeessä ne saisi pysymään muistissa?!
Kun hain infoa tuosta areenasta eksyin sivulle missä oli juttua härkätaistelusta mm. puolesta ja vastaan.
Puolesta: moni eläin kärsii paljon enemmän ja pidempään kuin max 20min kestävä härkätaisteluottelu.
Vastaan: julmaa eläinrääkkäystä
Vaikka ihminen on eri puolilla maailmaa harrastanut erilaisia taistelumuotoja niin eikö tämän päivän ihminen voisi jo luopua tuollaisesta perinteestä vaikkakin se työllistää ihmisiä jne.
Puskeeko ne niitä härkiä tuolla

Juu muttei mun silmille!
Sulle on tullut ahaa-elämys tuon espanjan kanssa,muy bien.,Tuolla lipulla olisit saanut voileivänkin.
Minulla ei ole kauhean hyvät muistot tuosta arenasta,sillä sinne minut vietiin 8-vuotiaana enkä lainkaan tykännyt siitä härän tappamisesta.Se ainakin teki minusta elinikäisen härkätaisteluvastustajan…

Juu syötävääkin mutta olin aamulenkillä joten jätin väliin.
Jotkut muistot syöpyy mieleen loppuelämäksi.
Mitenköhän mahtaa olla 8-v joka on syntynyt tähän kulttuuriin…Luulisi että lapsen mieli ja maailma on aika samanlainen joka puolella – herkkä.
En ole koskaan “uskaltanut” mennä katsomaan itse härkätaistelua. Mijaksen Areenaan tutustuin joskus sisäpuolelta.
Hienostihan on opiskelusi edennyt. Heidän nopean puheensa ymmärtäminen on jo iso askel eteenpäin.

Moni paikallinen kyllä hidastaa puhettaan kun huomaavat ettei kieli ole kybällä hallussa. Tosi ystävällisiä ja kärsivällisiä jaksavat olla!
Wonderful captures.

Thanks!
Wow!! That bull ring and arena are HUGE! Fascinating-although I am not fond of the concept, the culture that comes with it is amazing.I feel like I should be writing this in Spanish, but can’t remember enough to do so. Before too long, you will find yourself THINKING in Spanish and that’s when the breakthrough begins.

I felt the history of the place…it’s funny but I always ‘feel’ when something very old, made by man, is in front of me
I think already in Spanish BUT there’s a problem. I get a half of a sentence and then I don’t know the next word!!!
It happens all the time. When I’m at home I have tv on, I listen it more than watch. So my passive Spanish is much better than
active. But I can manage. Locals are nice and patient with me
such big crowds for the bullfights…what is a huge arena. hoping the arena in your head is helping with your studies!!! hope you are still enjoying every bit of your experiences!!!!
robin recently posted..…things flow naturally…
Thanks, I do enjoy even if it feels like I’m a masochist
Two steps forward, one back. And some days other way round. 
But I’m learning. I know. And that gives me energy to continue….
You are really learning the language by living life fully in this host country – alas, the grammatical lessons have to be mastered too. Your studying will pay off, but taking in the culture is a rewarding way to learn too!

Great photos. The bull fighting arena is quite large. I think the bull fight would be interesting to watch.
Such a huge stadium!

Have a blessed Sunday.

Nuo areenat olen kiertänyt kaukaa… huh. Kamalaa tappamista, mielestäni. Telkkarista katsottu riittää.
Toivon lempeitä taisteluita sinun pääareenaasi!!

Eilen näin telkkarista kuinka Valenciassa laitetaan härän sarviin tulet, jonkinlaiset soihdut. Kyllä ihminen voi olla tyhmä.
Oltakoon perinteistä mitä mieltä tahansa.
Yritän olla lempeä itselleni mutta välillä ottaa koville. Onneksi onnistumiset lisää motivaatiota…
The bullring is very interesting. Looks like you’re working very hard on your Spanish lessons. Good luck… ¡Buena suerte!

Oh, gracias! I have to work hard because I’m not 15 yr school girl nor especially talented with grammar…but I can communicate and that’s the main thing for me
I wouldn’t want to see a bull fight, but that arena sure is beautiful!
I want to taste the coffee – - – and smell it too!

and now I need a cup of coffee
We have an “Open Door” weekend in the spring and many of our historical houses and venues are open to the public. Magnificant arena! Have never been to a bullfight. Actually only been to Spain once but plan to go back next year.

‘Open Door’ days are great way to get to know our neighborhoods. We might find nice surprises too…
Well done for learning another language, perseverance is the key. I see you are keeping well and enjoying shooting with your camera. Have a great week.

Had a long walk this morning. It’s nice I can help foreigners to find places
I may speak English as well 
When I saw the title, I thought you may write a post about the beach. Arena is sand in Spanish. Well, I like the stadium/arenas that you posted. Best wishes on verbs, the bane of studying Spanish.
I try to be clever and play with words…hahah
…I know arena is sand – there’s sand in the bullring as well 
I need new words too, so this is an endless process…
I don’t think I could bear to watch a bullfight, but I would love to learn to speak Spanish. At one time, many years ago, I was fairly fluent in French. You’ll reach a point where you have to stop your thoughts to determine which language they’re in. It is a strangely rewarding experience.

Grammar makes me…less spoken. I notice how I’ve started to think before I speak – earlier when I didn’t care about grammar, verb conjugation wasn’t a
Happy Sunday!
problem but today…Let’s see how I feel after 4 more weeks
Ole! Nice pictures.

Gracias!
Seems like what is happening in your head is a very good thing.
