Botanic garden, flee market, the crucifixion

Hello after a fortnight. Last two weeks were hard. Besides the language course we started to attend the lectures at school.
Last weekend we set off to a botanic garden which is laid-out cleverly close to the dam above the city. On the way to the garden we met the flea market where you can find really everything. There are such crowds of people shouting down that it is nearly impossible to take a picture and if you finally find a moment for taking a photo the merchants start to shout out that you can take a picture only for a nice charge (in spite of that i got a picture with the snails and "the general store"). I think that most of the things at the market, especially the cameras and mobile phones ranging from the prehistoric to the newest models are the hot goods, hence the prohibition of taking pictures.
The botanic garden is nothing special for natural inhabitants, it is oriented mainly to the tropic wood plants from New Zealand through Africa to South America. You can see here lots of wood and palm trees similar to the natural flora. We liked the tree with spines which grows also out of the garden in Malaga, I don't recommend to bump into it. Besides there is a corner of cactuses and succulents, we stole two really juicy lemons from the lemon trees covered with lemons.On the way to the dam we found a pulled up "froglet". The child-shoe on the picture is my mountain shoe.
On the last two pictures is a procession with the crucifix which we saw this Friday but we didn't realized the object of the procession (they probably wanted to air Jesus before the Lent). The procession was crisscrossing the Malaga's streets probably from the afternoon and the pictures are from our flat's balcony.
