The interesting thing about exploring off-the-beaten-track areas is that you can come across gems or very pleasant surprises or just enjoy investigating a place.
My exploration tour this time started at the last bus stop, line 15, in the western part of the city, near La Misericordia beach.
As I got off the bus, and after crossing a couple of streets, I came across these structures called Las Pirámides, which give their name to the place where I was standing, but which are a point of historical interest. I got close enough to see the Egyptian symbols on them.
According to the inscription on them, they seem to delimit the residential complex of that place. I have always liked the Egyptian culture, its constructions and the knowledge that it all has, so seeing these pyramid towers delighted me.
After passing through that portal, as I liked to call it, I walked a bit through the streets of that place. The neighbourhoods there are small, each neighbourhood has a few blocks and then another one begins. It is a very beautiful area for walking and I hoped to find some treasure, as I call it, some hidden treasure.
Looking to my left I found this sign and looking up I could see the beach in the distance.
To my right I found a park, not very big, although near that place, there is the park El Litoral which is very big, in that opportunity I found this smaller one.
I walked along its paths, and enjoyed the sun that it offered me in these winter days. I love to find so many parks or green spaces in the city that contain so much vegetation. I remember a few years ago a former student came to visit me and told me that of all the places she had visited in Spain, Malaga was the city with the most greenery.
Around the park were the houses, the buildings of the place, I love to look at the surroundings, the spaces while I enjoy walking, the fresh air and the vegetation. Even if the parks are small, they offer the opportunity to have a picnic and the contact with the earth that I love so much.
I headed down one of the surrounding streets and found, as on several occasions, several painted signs and others with beautiful phrases. Most of them were not in Spanish, so I had to look up what each one said.
Often the walks also require research work, as in this case.
In this case, the language is Latin and trying to translate it goes something like this:
‘Time flies, take the day to remember to die.’ Maybe someone who knows Latin could help me with this sign.
The next one seemed to be Russian, but underneath was the English translation, so no problem. It goes like this: ‘Know thyself’.
This sentence was in English, so for myself I had to translate it and it goes like this:‘ The most important thing in life is to stop saying I wish and start saying I will’. This sentence is interesting, moving from words to deeds is very important.
This other one was in French, but I quickly realised what it said because it was easy for me: ‘What is essential is invisible to the eye’.
The next three sentences I could find were in Spanish.
‘How many things we lose, for fear of losing’.
‘I would give everything I know, for half of what is ignored’.
‘Time does not heal, it heals what you do with time’.
I love to find inspirational phrases on my walks, and often reflect on them.
Walking a little further I was able to find the hidden treasure. It is not an ancient treasure or one that dates back centuries, nor is it a gigantic treasure that dazzles the eye, but often the simplest things are very beautiful.

In Calle Canillas de Aceituno, a very strange name, but a street nonetheless, there used to be a parish church called El Salvador. You can tell it is a modern and very up-to-date church, compared to many others I have visited. I couldn't find any information about this church, but you can tell it belongs to the 20th century.
Simple, modern, and very characteristic of the newer neighbourhoods, its simplicity does not detract from its beauty. It was open so I decided to go in and look inside first.

Very spacious, it reminded me of village churches, and what caught my attention were the stained glass windows. It was modern in style, not to be compared with 18th century or older churches of course, but it was beautiful all the same.

It had a lot of light thanks to the fact that the roof, in its central part, let in daylight, as if it were a kind of greenhouse. It is very original and allows you to make the most of the sunlight.

The church had a small prayer space where the tabernacle was located.
The altar was also very simple and what I could feel in that church was the fresh air, lots of light, a pleasant and peaceful atmosphere. There were still no people arriving for the daily mass, so I was free to take pictures.

As I said, what I liked most about this place were the stained glass decorations in all its walls with that modern style and lots of colours.

When I left the place, I paid attention to the external façade of the church and I also liked it very much for its simplicity and beauty. What attracted me most about this part was the bell tower and the soft colours used for the painting of the façade.
Each neighbourhood has its own style in the city, it stands out from the rest and each one has a space like this, a church. The newer neighbourhoods of course have a modern church. In every tour I see that mixture of the antiquity of Spain with the advance and the union with the modern.
Thank you very much for joining me today in this exploration. Best regards to all of you. See you soon.

Good afternoon @avdesing, nice ride. The truth is that I am also surprised by so much vegetation in Malaga. I imagine that you have enjoyed a lot of those Egyptian columns.
About the text (I think you may have already consulted it) the google translator says the following:
Fearful he fled
pick the day
remember to die
A big greeting.
I loved the pyramids and seeing them here even more!
The text I consulted with two translators told me different things! hahaha thanks!🤗
A good tour accompanied with very accurate phrases, the church is beautiful inside and outside the truth is that a beautiful place.
Thanks Monica, I always like to see what I can find everywhere, I love it! Thank you!
El interior de la iglesia tiene una linda decoración, me gustan los vitrales a ambos lados de la cruz y los que tienen forma de arco, son hermosos y coloridos.
Saludos!
Es sencilla pero super bonita, muchas gracias!😃

The Calle Canillas de Aceituno thing made me laugh so much... avecita I've been very busy today and now I'm going to sleep because tomorrow I have to go to... allí mismo. I send you a hug. I read your post and walked a little bit next to you. The phrases are all very good reminders. Málaga es hermosa siempre a través de tus ojos.
It is true that time alone does not heal... 👋
Step by step.... rest is one of the best things to do!!! See you later!
Great photographic tour of the city. So many great sights.
Even the churches have a wonderful design.
I love discovering things like that, that pyramid fascinated me! 💗
