Before visiting Malaga, I never knew that Picasso was born here! For art-lovers or even fans of Picasso or for those that just happen to be in Malag, do take some time to visit his museum which showcases quite a number of his artworks. The museum is located within the city centre and consists of 2 levels. Personally, I really like the architecture of the museum and how zen it makes me feel upon stepping through the doors. For tourists, do take note that big bags (for example: tote bags) and liquids like water are not allowed. Tickets can be bought online which may be useful as you can avoid the long queues upon reaching! There’s also a souvenir shop which sells mugs, tote bags, post cards and other merchandise which you can bring home as a memorabilia after your visit. #fallingforfall #tripblazers #urbanexplorer

On September 23, 2024, we visited the Picasso Museum in Malaga, Spain, Europe (where he was born). After queuing for about 40 minutes with a pre-booked ticket (94 RMB/person), we entered this special museum where Picasso was born. The museum is a two-story quadrangle with the first and second exhibition halls on the first and second floors. We not only appreciated the thousands of Picasso's works collected in the museum-including oil paintings, sketches, prints, pottery, etc., but also visited the original manuscripts of Picasso collected in the museum. After the visit, we felt that we had a deeper understanding of Picasso's artistic career and works.

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.

If you want to feel the leisurely Spain, I recommend Malaga, a coastal city in southern Spain! It is the hometown of the genius painter we all know, Pablo Picasso, and a place where you can feel the unique Andalusia influenced by Islam! The city is not that big, so you can go anywhere on foot, and the cost is relatively low. Since it is right next to the Mediterranean Sea, the beach is close by, and the water is so clear that it is perfect for taking a dip in the blue sea🌊 It is already a popular resort city for Europeans! When you come to Granada to see the Alhambra Palace or Seville, buy a bus ticket and stop by Malaga! You can take a break from the busy Korean society.
