The post-60s Granny Goo traveled alone through Malaga, Europe

Granny Goo's 10th day of solo travel in Europe, 2/29 from Granada to Malaga, train AVANT 8935, 2h24m, walked 22443 steps. ⭐ Upon arrival in Malaga that day, visited the Malaga Picasso Museum (pictures 2-4) and the Cathedral (pictures 5-7). Granny Goo doesn't understand art, but since Malaga is Picasso's birthplace, it was a must-see. Unfortunately, the Picasso exhibition hall was closed, only displaying works by other artists. When asked why, the staff said that the museum closes for one month every year, and this year it will not open until March 19th. The regular ticket price is 12 euros, but during the closure of the Picasso exhibit, the ticket is 9 euros. ⭐ The Malaga Cathedral ticket is a bit pricey at 10 euros. Coming out of the cathedral, it was already past six o'clock, and the sun was still shining brightly. Wandering aimlessly, stumbled upon the castle, the University of Malaga, the ancient Roman theater, the town hall, and the port. ⭐ The next day, traveled from Malaga to Ronda and back, and after returning from Ronda, climbed the castle (ALCAZABA) (pictures 9-10), strolled on the beach, citywalk 25000 steps. The castle is built on a hillside in the center of Malaga. The Malaga Castle is an outstanding representation of Islamic civilization, with many porches, towers, gardens, and courtyards full of Muslim charm. The view of the port and the city from the castle is breathtaking. ⭐ The Malaga beach is beautiful (pictures 12-14), but the sand is gray-black and coarse. Under the glow of the setting sun, many locals were relaxing and entertaining on the beach, some playing beach volleyball, others sitting around playing cards. ⭐⭐ Malaga (Málaga) is a small city located on the Costa del Sol in the Mediterranean, in southern Andalusia, Spain, with a population of less than 600,000, making it Spain's second-largest Mediterranean port. It is situated between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, and between Europe and Africa. From the ancient Roman amphitheater of the 3rd century, the Muslim castle of the 6th century, to the church of the 8th century converted from a mosque, etc. Like Granada, Malaga is filled with traces of Islamic culture. The history and beauty of Malaga are worth your visit.
