 El cementerio inglés se encuentra en el número 1 de la Avenida Príes. Tiene un
magnífico jardín botánico, en el que se encuentran muchísimas plantas y
especies exóticas, el terreno está acondicionado en pequeñas mesetas como
grandes escalones para compensar la pendiente. Está orientado hacia el mar
Mediterráneo, sus tumbas tienen detalles clásicos, neogóticos y modernistas y
en este cementerio están enterradas personas de todas las nacionalidades, como
españoles y británicos sobre todo. Este cementerio anglicano y cristiano es el

construyó en 1850 la capilla de San Jorge, donde los comerciantes británicos
podían rezar y atender sus necesidades espirituales.
En la entrada del cementerio hay una pequeña recepción donde años atrás el
jardinero y guardia vivieron alli. Al entrar, diriges la mirada hacia arriba y ves
dos magníficos pero antiguos leones custodiando al cementerio, que te hace
pensar la antigüedad e historia que debe tener. Tras esto puedes contemplar un
largo camino que desemboca en una iglesia y en una división de callejuelas
llenas de vegetación de todas clases y colores. Al rededor de la iglesia, se
encuentran grandes y altas tumbas de personas importantes, como William
Mark o George Clarke. A la izquierda, hay un amplio camino central, y a ambos

A mí me resultó magnífico visitar este cementerio, yo me lo imaginaba más
tétrico, más como de película, pero me he dado cuenta de que estaba muy
equivocada, es todo lo contrario, es un lugar tranquilo, muy colorido y donde
puedes fácilmente escuchar pájaros cantar. Aunque cuando lo visitamos hacia
mucho calor la vegetación del entorno y su frescor nos permitió disfrutar del
momento. En general, es un cementerio con espacio reducido, pero es como si
hubiera una ciudad bien distribuida. Me ha parecido un lugar donde se respira
paz, es sereno, con gran estética, en un sitio privilegio, orientado al mar y a
magníficas vistas sobre Málaga como puestas a propósito para las personas de
todas las nacionalidades que descansan allí para siempre.
