What does this number mean to you? It might mean a lot and it might not mean anything at all. Maybe 2016 is your building number or your pin# at the bank...Maybe you'e turning 50 in the year 2016... Maybe that is the year your children will be done with college...Maybe you believe 2012 is the end of the world so 2016 will never happen.... Maybe you dont even want to think about where you will be in 2016....
It is impossible to walk down the street in Málaga and not see a reference to the year 2016. Málaga is the candidate for European Capital of Culture for the year 2016. When I first arrived in Málaga I was overwhelmed by the amount of construction and renovation going on in the city. I now realize that this is to ensure that Málaga is looking its finest by 2012 (when the allocated winner will be awarded). Throughout the city streets, and especially on calle larios, there are blue footprints with the printed image below. This image also appears in newspapers, theater playbooks and in restaurants. Although it seems far away, this date marks the turn of a Spanish city to be unveiled before the rest of Europe and the whole world as European Capital of Culture for the year. This is a really big deal and I hope that Málaga gains the support and backing it needs to make this possible. Buena suerte!
