Today we explored Malaga, the birth city of Picasso
and visited the Castillo de Gibralfaro with its small military museum and
resident squirrels.
The original alcazar was further down the slope but with
the invention of gunpowder, a new castle (Castillo) with connecting walls was constructed.
We visited one of five museums across the world dedicated to Picasso, but this
one is sited in the town of his birth, in fact in the building where he was
born.
Actually his father was a talented artist and Picasso himself even more
so. His father did specialise in painting pigeons!
Here Elizabeth sits with Picasso, touching him in his special spot - Malaga, with his museum in the background.
Malaga is also the home town of Antonio Banderas. Apparently he owns the entire top floor of one of the apartment buildings, overlooking where we had a wine tasting. We were hoping to see him maybe going out for a bottle of olive oil. "Antonio!...come out..."
