Today was a glorious day weather wise & I had not planned on fitting in so much in one day, but I did. I was the first in line to enter the Museo Picasso Malaga. Pablo Picasso was born in Malaga & left at the age of 19 years never to return again. However, Malaga ensures that their famous "son" is not forgotten & claims Picasso as their own. There is even a museum made out of the house where Picasso was born called Casa Natal De Pablo Ruiz Picasso. Then I thought that I had better take advantage of the beautiful day & decided to visit
La Alcazaba & the
Castillo De Gibralfaro. Three hours later I was still walking around the ramparts of the Castillo, an almost 700 meter climb to the top sporting the most spectacular views of the Malaga coastline. Luckily I have been doing a lot of walking around Seville for the past weeks & managed to get to the top without having a heart attack! After finding an iconic place to eat in, I had one more thing to do & that was to visit the
. This gem is a little difficult to find but it certainly was worth the effort. It is a wonderful double story Spanish house that is laden with the most amazing treasures lovingly looked after by the inheritors & owners of this museum. What made it even more special was receiving a personal tour by an English scholar of the Arts & a partner of this museum. Malaga was certainly worth the weekend visit!

Thanks Mike for your comment. Yes bullfighting is alive & well in Malaga & if you look at my photo posted above you will see how large the ring is -i dominating the city landscape. However, as bullfighting is not my thing I did not mention it in my blog.
