Málaga Spain - Birthplace Of Pablo Picasso
Another lively Andalucian city and capital of the popular
Costa del Sol Málaga has, in its time, been inhabited by
Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans and Moors.
Wide avenues and green spaces abound and, as with other
major Spanish cities, it is truly steeped in history and
culture.
The Citadel or La Alcazaba (8th-11th centuries) as well
as being the symbol of Málaga, is one of the largest
fortresses in Andalucia with and Archaelogoical Museum now
located there.
Close by is the wonderful Castle of Gibralfaro (14th century),
joined to the Citadel by a stretch of wall that gives
superb views of Málaga and its port.
At the foot of Gibralfaro can be found the Roman Theater,
La Malagueta, and the old quarter of the city.
In the center of the historic district stands the Cathedral
of Málaga (16th-18th centuries), also known as La Manquita
because of its unfinished tower.
Other prominent churches in the old town of Málaga include
Santiago (15th-18th centuries), los Mártires, Sagroado ...
...
Corazón, and Santo Cristo de la Salud.
Málaga is also the birthplace of celebrated Spanish painter
Pablo Picasso and there are several galleries showing his
wonderful work.
In 1983, his birthplace was declared an historic-artistic
monument and, in 1991, it became the headquarters of the
Picasso Foundation.
A charming and interesting city in its own right, you also
have all the fantastic beaches of the ever-popular Costa
del Sol close at hand.
Málaga certainly offers a fine mix so come and make the
most of it!
