That's the Coliseum is one of my favorite too. It's rare to see this beautiful cross-section of the peaceful community and the glorious Coliseum standing side by side. This made me reflect on the daily life that we are living. Regardless of size or fame, we are all equal.
Also, I am glad to hear that you have a foodie family. Malaga is definitely the next city you should visit, I could ensure you more than anything that the food is top-notch! I would travel back there just for food and I couldn't express enough with words of how good they are.
Lastly, I am more than happy to know that it inspired you to travel there. I hope one day, your dream will come true :) Good luck!
