We returned to Malaga to visit the Picasso Museum and the Alcazaba de Malaga. I thought that by visiting the museum I would finally understand the thinking behind Picasso’s drawings, painting and sculptures – not so – the so called experts talking about Picasso’s works seemed to be providing their views and not any real insight into Picasso’s. No pic’s here cameras restricted.

The Museo Picasso Málaga is a museum in Málaga, Andalusia, Spain, the city where artist Pablo Ruiz Picasso was born. It opened in 2003 in the Buenavista Palace, and has 285 works donated by members of Picasso’s family.   (see  https://www.museopicassomalaga.org/  for more info).
Alcazaba de Malaga

Constructed on the ruins of a Roman fortification during the reign of Abd-al-Rahman I, the first Emir of Cordoba, in around 756-780AD, the Alcazaba’s original purpose was as a defense against pirates, thanks its commanding position with views over the city, down to the sea and across to Africa. The fortress was rebuilt by the Sultan of Granada, Badis Al-Ziri, from 1057-1063AD, while the fortified double walls that connect the Alcazaba to the neighbouring Castillo de Gibralfaro, over the Coracha ridge, were built by the Nasrid ruler Yusuf I in the 14th century, when most of the inner palace was also refurbished. As a palace, it was home to a number of Moorish rulers. For more info:    http://www.malagaturismo.com/es/recursos-turisticos/detalle/alcazaba/6

Our Spanish adventure ends tomorrow – we fly to Amsterdam, spend the night and fly to Cape Town on Thursday — see you then.

BTW – the colors on the Cathedral were much different this morning then on our last afternoon visit.
