ENGLISH  CEMETERY  IN  MALAGA

  The English Cemetery in Malaga, or Anglican Cemetery, or Cemetery

  of St George, is the oldest non-Roman catholic Chirstian cemetery

  established on mainland Spain.

  This cemetery was bulit because the people who weren't catholic,

  couldn't be burried in a normal, then they were burried at the edge

  of the sea. But it was unhealthiest and troublesome because a long

  time later the sea expulsed the dead bodies. And for these reasons

  the cemetery was built. It is located at  ''La Cañada de los Ingleses''

  AVDA/ de Príes.

  In the cemetery are burried more than 1000 people including more

  than 30 babies. The mayority of the population burried here is

  Anglican. The cemetery is maintained with donation. The churcch

  at the cemetery has a neoclassical style.

  suffocated and the second was Robert Boyd, an engilsh liberal who

  dead executed by firearm together with General Torrijos and another

  group of liberal people who stared an uprising moverent against
