The English Cemetery in Malaga, Spain is the only non-Catholic cemetery in the city. It was established in 1831 when the British Consul, William Mark, obtained land for a burial ground for non-Catholics. An Anglican church was later built on the cemetery grounds in 1839-40. Today the cemetery contains the graves of people from many different countries and backgrounds, and serves as a reminder of Malaga's history of international residents.

11. LENGUA
El Cementerio de los Ingleses es un lugar en el centro de Málaga
donde hace parte de la historia de esta ciudad la nuestra. A parte,
también perecen allí cuerpos de personas oriundas de otros países
que murieran donde nacimos. Este cementerio anglicano, uno de los
pocos de España, posee en su interior un amplio jardín fúnebre,
compuesto por plantas propias de los cementerios debido a la
asociación que reciben con la muerte, sobre todo las amapolas, las
únicas flores que crecen en los campos de batallas, aún los muertos
perecidos allí. El cementerio se dispone de dicho jardín, del
cementerio original, en la parte “norte” del cementerio si acaso la
entrada fuese en el sur; y de una iglesia anglicana, con cojines en los
bancos, sin imagen alguna salvo las cristaleras con imágenes
bíblicas y con un pequeño puesto de donación para los sin hogares.
Las tumbas son esculpidas por un famoso marmolista.

12. Las tumbas de lonchas del cementerio original, el respeto que
imponen los obeliscos, las tumbas tan simples, el diseño arcaico
de la iglesia... todo esto da la impresión de respeto y luto de los
cementerios, el toque inglés (país de donde procede la religión
anglicana), el recordatorio de que está en Málaga (las conchas
recuerdan a la costa, por lo que es más conocida nuestra ciudad y
la simplicidad que tiene, de las tumbas, de los muros, de las
plantas tan comunes, dan un tono de humildad y de simplicidad al
cementerio. Es un aire único de este cementerio combinando
todas las cosas extranjeras que hay en todas las religiones
europeas y el toque humilde y costero que le da Málaga. Es
sencillamente un toque único y propio.

13. Las personas allí enterradas, son historias importantes; la
pequeña Violette, los cuarenta y dos oficiales del Crescinau, el
primer enterrado Robert Boyd, quién ayudó al General Torrijos
a rebelarse contra Fernando VII, el cónsul británico Willian
Mark, el escritor Jorge Guilén...no solo son muertos en sus
nichos, también son parte de la historia de Málaga. Algunos
notables, como se ve en el Puente de los Alemanes, y otros no
tanto pero significativos en la historia, como Robert Boyd...
Respetad a los muertos, respetad a vuestros antepasados,
respetad a la historia que os pertenece.
