101 MÁLAGA: Dream Mediterranean
which can be found in the link itself
Picasso Museum Picasso Outlines
your eyes a new vision of Malaga. Malaga face biased, drafted sometimes screened by the normal breath chisel unique, different, unique. Perhaps nothing is accidental. Perhaps the many faces of Malaga outlining at the child playing in the Plaza de la Merced the idea of \u200b\u200ba look like no other, unraveling the universal mind of the painter perfume of salt, the low flying seagulls, women and men lying in the sand. Who knows what would be the seed that led to the runaway Cubism. But there is no doubt that the Mediterranean from Malaga is always present in Picasso's life, either as a reverie of childhood or as an encouragement in their DNA. With these ideas in your head loosely constructed civilized store queue.
Picasso Museum occupies the old Palace of Buenavista. White walls, whitewashed. A majestic building with a willingness ascetic erected in the sixteenth century. All in Malaga is cutting edge and past, and so under this temple of modernity that has one of the most prolific and groundbreaking works of the twentieth century is an archaeological site where Phoenicians, Romans and Arabs seem to share with Picasso's love of nature Mediterranean in his work. are 155. 155 works that serve to draw a perfect map of the evolution of Pablo Ruiz Picasso as a painter and sculptor. 155 works support the existence of this museum in Malaga, the birthplace of the artist, and make this the most visited of the province. Found picture books, painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics
, prints in a time span ranging from 1890 to 1973. They are, the 155 works, which all take center stage. The white walls allow the explosion of colors and compositions, profiles impossible to perceive, pigeons about to start a flight of fancy, the volatility of his sculptures. We dived into the dream world of the author, floating, wandering, looking at other visitors with a new vision. Break down their faces and turn to write in a
puzzle game mistakes. Visitors step jump from one site to another. Enthusiastic visitors, who speak certainty of that or this brushstroke. Visitors disbelieving, unable to value the work as groundbreaking. Visitors conscientious, they crumble and come and go and breathe through the pores Picasso. We jump, talk, think, shredded. The Picasso Museum takes time and requires the visitor input, just open your mind and let go. All information about the museum, schedules, fares, exhibitions, collection, and work backgrounds, calendar, news, etc ... can be found on the website http://www.museopicassomalaga.org/ . We have acquired the combined ticket to the permanent collection and temporary exhibition "Kippenberger Picasso looked at "(8 euros per person. Access to the permanent collection is 6 euros and 4.50 euros temporary exhibition). As a separate recommendation on this visit and spending facing a generous but well spent, we recommend a breakfast day at the museum café in the courtyard, water and stone. A real treat before the exhibition finished stretch, when work still seems to throb and beat off sleep to dawn.

From Picasso Museum again approached Granada Street, crossed in front The door of Pimpi, which has given us so much satisfaction just a while ago and we continue to ride this way always bustling up to the Plaza de la Merced. If the street was the main artery Larios in Malaga, which led us to his heart, the Plaza de la Merced is the epicenter of an earthquake. Regular meeting place of the youngest to mediate the arrival of the night and tourists, families, early risers and doves in the late noon. In the center of the square stands the monument to the sky to General Torrijos, one of those rare men committed to the ideal and freedom above all things, a desire that caused his violent death and whose full story can be read this link.

From the birthplace move on our journey of discovery
Malaga to strengthen our feet on the front of the Teatro Cervantes. Stresses the gray walls in front of the blue clouds that are printed on the canvas of horizon. The Teatro Cervantes is a building built in 1870 and collects inside throughout the year a full program of musical and theatrical definitively hatched during the celebration of the English Film Festival of Malaga, where the festival headquarters and the place where ceremonies take place 
opening and closing. On the website http://www.festivaldemalaga.com/ can find all the references to this event that generates greater expectations with each edition and adds more vitality for a few days of March and April, a city already themselves immensely vital. Next to Teatro Cervantes participating in the festival also Echegaray Theatre Film and Albéniz. Resist the temptation to take a cup of coffee in one of the terraces found in the entrance plaza to the theater. From 
Carcer Street Poplar Street to connect and take direction to the Plaza de la Merced. In our passage we access to the Museo de Arte Flamenco Juan Breva , located in Calle Ramón Franquelo 4. The building is shared between the Peña Juan Breva and the museum, that is, a direct realization of the first. Precisely the museum opened in 2008, where the rock turned 50 years old. It houses 5,000 pieces, among which 2,500 discs, forming a of the largest collections of Spain, also you can see 40 guitars (up to 2 centuries old, some of them), shawls, phonograph equipment, tail coats, etc ... Without a doubt, a museum visit for the Flemish and can be very interesting to the general public. We back to the Plaza de la Merced and here ended the first day of our trip.
Some tracks
exchanged views, we reviewed some notes and we read two or three pamphlets which we brought with us and we realize the certainty that has been a busy day and that ideas , thoughts, emotions and feelings that brought us still live on fresh in recent memory. Serve as clues some streets, squares and places to eat, eat, tapas and a drink. The Historic Center of Málaga
is a swarm of people on weekends. The confluence of the Calle Larios and Calle Granada with all its derivatives has thousands of possibilities for leisure and gastronomy night. Write here some tracks coming or derived from these two streets and meet different kinds of environments. Please note the vicinity of Film Albéniz, meeting point of terraces for afternoon coffee and drinks long into the night. Sit one of their chairs to their desks and contemplate the Alcazaba and the Roman Theatre is a privilege. Uncibay Square has numerous bars, restaurants and cafes. Coal Square and the Plaza del Siglo, Jerome square opposite the Teatro Cervantes Cuervo, Calle Méndez Núñez, etc, etc, etc. All on foot apart from each other space and ten minutes. International cuisine, tapas, Mediterranean cuisine and cutting-edge cuisine, fast food, fried fish ... tastes and colors for every taste. A coffee on the terrace, dinner at a trendy restaurant and two pints of ale later, we decided to go to sleep. We booked a room at a downtown hotel to a reasonable price, everything is a matter of looking at different rates and deals on the many and varied catering establishments.
The Roman Theatre
Today we will visit the oldest Málaga. The Roman Theatre, the Alcazaba and the Castle of Gibralfaro morning, to end our visit with a meal at Palo. The Roman Theater is one of the most modern interpretation centers we visited. Entry is free and the tour begins with a multimedia projection on three screens, to make way for a showcase going on with the passage of visitors to turn off and has panels
touch where the information chosen by the visitor comes and goes with every touch. Modern and very rewarding. The contrast between the center and theater are brutal, but precisely why we enjoy it more. We went from the most modern technologies of the XXI century to the most modern technologies of the first century BC The Roman Theatre in Malaga is a construction that corresponds to the importance of the city at the time. It sits on a hillside in the shadow of the Citadel and was used as active 
and its original purpose until the third century AD, ie, for almost four years. On arrival of the Arabs the theater was nearly deserted and were used part of their stones to the restructuring of the Alcazaba, so it is not unusual to find elements of a spire and Roman shafts within a building purely Arabic. We walk through the scene and praised the reconstruction process has been followed in which the visitor can feel part without damaging the original. We believe in the Greek tragedies are to be represented here in the Roman comedies and echoes of voices of the actors reliving between the stone benches. The output of the Teatro Romano leads to the entrance of the Alcazaba almost like a charm.
La Alcazaba, the Arab dream
We like. From the first time we visited a few years ago we like. Its cobblestone streets, its views over the port of Malaga and on the rooftops of the city, travel delicate its scents of orange blossom, her direct gaze to the Mediterranean. Tickets are many and varied and as we visit the castle of Gibralfaro well, here you can get combined tickets for the two monuments, always with the obvious caution not to lose. Cost us 6.90 euros for two people. It is advisable to wear loose, since the tickets must be removed from vending machines.
The Alcazaba in essence combines the finesse of a palace the righteousness of a fortress. It is in this combination where its special glory. When it passes through the battlements and contemplate the city and the sea is understood and fully understands the importance of this building from beyond time. Controlled from a seaside promontory natural bay which forms the port of Malaga. was built in the eleventh century and remained standing and
Muslim hands until the conquest of Málaga by Christian troops in the fifteenth century. Two angled walls with doors are the main site. The lowest and most constructive force completely surrounds the upper building that houses the palace of the rulers. We walked, walked, walked. Recreate in our imagination the life of old appliances that are displayed in showcases, the murmur of water over the pipes, paints polychrome arches help us in the task. Note veils and robes and turbans around corners, queens blackberries, emirs and rulers who look at Africa's land from the Tower of Homage. We sat a moment in their gardens, close our eyes, let us embrace the freshness of the morning, violent perfumes of flowers, the murmur of the water pipes. Visitors come and go
before our eyes, speak different languages, accents and we delivered in the babel that had to be the port in Malaga Emirs time ... The Alcazaba and the Castle of Gibralfaro are provided by the Coracha, up the street between two towering wall paintings. You can not access it, so for up to three options Gibralfaro. Walking along the outer wall, by bus (schedules and bus stops are indicated on the entrance to the Alcazaba) or by car. If you take the first option is suitable down to the street to the elevator at the palaces, allowing us to shorten a section before tackling the climb to the castle.
Gibralfaro Castle, the fortress of Málaga
are 20 minutes away in ascending order and a good percentage of drop. The walk, if you are in good shape or a median if it is worth it quietly, because the city of Malaga, Plaza de Toros de la Malagueta Pedregalejo and neighborhoods, and the Palo Limonar will gradually appear before our eyes) . We arrived a little tired, but with blue sky Manchester nesting in our eyes. Entered.
History, as always, is evocative. The etymology of words, place names. Gibralfaro is believed to come from a combination of two words, one Arab and one Greek. The first Jabal, which could be translated as Mt. The second, Faruh, which translates as a beacon, Jabal-Faruh Their combination and subsequent developments combined gets transformed into Gibralfaro. The name also indicates the most likely origin as a watchtower Phoenician-Punic coast. The castle was built 
Gibralfaro in times of Yusuf I, in the fourteenth century and probably was designed as a natural defense of the Fortress against attacks by sea and by land with guns. say this, describe the context in which they built the fortress, its reasons and motives become less relevant to the landscape that unfolds before us. The Guadalhorce valley enters the province with its vast fields of vegetables and fruit. Malaga Malaka, gives to our feet, teach, bird's eye view almost any of its secrets. From this hill we can see the unfinished cathedral, the Picasso Museum building, the tower of the Church of the Martyrs and San Juan, bars and new developments that deviate from the sea, the football stadium Rosales (Málaga Club headquarters Football), the pine forests that shelter
the castle, the fortress and its palaces, city walls, the port with their insect-shaped steel cranes, the plaza de toros de la Malagueta, the extent of Malaga to east to El Palo to the bottom, to the west and its connection to Torremolinos, the foothills of the mountains .... And the blue sky ... In this special and unique color that shines on Manchester, which is common and different from the 101 municipalities of the province, which is not water or cloud, which offers untamed sun in summer and autumn a languid sloth, 
that gives days on the beach in winter and revive the colors in the Spring ... The walls of the castle can be visited on a perimeter. There are flights of stairs quite high, but allows access to all defensive ramparts, seen from above the corridor of the coracha communicating or playing fictional war cannon firing from the pockets ...
Inside the enclosure there is an interpretation center with some authentic pieces and other reproductions who focused on the historical importance of Fort and the city of Malaga. Rifles, sabers and costumes can make the imagination of children. Queen
the sun on top, it's late afternoon, it is time to think about our next goal: lunch on the beach.
The Palo
collect the car in the parking lot where we parked and headed towards the village of El Palo, allowing us to explore the coast of the capital and enjoy the scent of first coals for kebabs, saltpeter intense wave landfall on the sand. We passed the Baños del Carmen , a former resort built in 1920 and the propertied classes aocgió bourgeoisie and Malaga. He now lives in the past, with a touch of decadence that makes it irresistible and deeply 
becomes one of the best places in the capital to enjoy a coffee accompanied by the setting sun. We keep going forward until you reach the area of \u200b\u200bEl Palo. Smell the sea instantly, immediately, as if it were printed in the essential DNA of the breeze. Life sways to the rhythm of the waves, the murmur of the sea, the gentle rocking or loud the Mediterranean. They walk
nations for its promenade and confused tourists, visitors and
local a unique combination. People walk on skates, cycling, brisk and weary pace, with awe in the eyes or blue eyes every morning first thing you see is the sea. And smell the grilled sardines prepared to receive spitted. And it is that the Scatter espeteros with care and wisdom many years ago. Sea by sea, by the aroma, the taste. And the characters that populate these payments. As the sailor stout and thin, burnt a thousand times by the sun, bearded, playing, silent chess with a knight wearing ties. Or 
woman walking his tiny dog \u200b\u200bwearing a leopard dress (the dog) while she wears floral dress, floral apron, floral headband and a Nike sneakers with air chamber. And all punctuated by the lure of restaurants that populate the neighborhood and offered in his letters, all fish, all rice, all the combinations between them, all enclosed Mediterranean stews. But the choice we have made. It's a classic without cure and no intention of ceasing to be and a visit to Malaga is essential to find out, live it or suffer it at least once The Inkwell. Lunch at The Inkwell And I cobreo!
still surprising, even when they had visited a couple of occasions. The cries of the waiters' Concha fine, fine, fine, really "," In vinegar, anchovies I pickled "crayfish iron, say, grilled lobster, etc ... And so begins a string simpa 
not to. The waiters walk among the tables screaming the goods at that time in their hands. The diner raises his arm and the waiter brings to the table. No letter in the traditional sense or services in the traditional sense, is what is called the fish auction. The dishes are not removed from the table until the end, build upon it, are of different shapes and sizes and there is one of the secrets of famous and I charge! I want to see, but I horn! A call is made 
ado, 
aparecem the collector, has dishes, drinks and a pen writes the amount on the paper tablecloth on the table. That's the ink, but must be experienced. It's a show, always crowded, there is no reserve concept ... And the more people, more mess, more screaming, more noise ... Refrain those who expect a quiet and restful to the sea. You have to enjoy it without complex, raise your hand without a second thought to call the waiter who shouts, for example Grilled squid I, hey, grilled squid! Two tips: First, in high tourist season will soon go to eat (on one or one and 
half), then it will be difficult to get a table, but are fought and permanently occupy second, not the first crazy asking you to remove, take your time, waiting for the dish of personal whim or that sounds good, there for all and guarantee that the fish is always completely fresh. We drink water and beer and a litany of dishes including rice, grilled prawns, grilled squid, clams, adobo, pilgrim ... The total outlay on the account so you can see in one of the sfotografías. After lunch we recorded a minimal sequence of life in The Inkwell you can see in the video below:
