English cemetery, malaga

The English cemetery is open from Tuesday to Sunday and its schedule is from 10 am to 2 pm. It is the oldest non-Catholic Christian cemetery in Spain, it is a Protestant cemeter this cemetery was created by Robert Boit in 1831. It was created because there was a problem with non-Catholics who died because they could not be buried in other cemeteries because they did not have the same belief, and they were buried on the beach in malaga, in the sand. This was a problem as they saw the cadavres through the water and created a bad smell on the beach and around. William Mark, who had witnessed these burials, was appointed British consul in 1824 and devoted all his efforts to find a graveyard for the members of his community to receive a dignified burial. In 1829 the authorities gave him Malaga uninhabited land on the outskirts of the city near the Almería highway and the English cemetery was built.

Robert Boit was executed in the Beach of San Andres, that was 11 of December of 1831, his death was by an execution.
