I have always been intrigued by the work of Pablo Picasso, and that is when I was in Malaga, I felt the need to visit his home. While not a large site by any means, it was very moving visiting the place where he lived and created some of his most famous works.

During a recent trip to Malaga, the family decided to go for a picnic, and then visit the Pileta Caves. This amazing ancient site has excellent examples of cave drawings, and the area outside of it is perfect for that picnic. While dark and cramped, it was well worth the effort to visit.

One of the most beautiful places to visit in all of Malaga, is La Concepcion, a botanical garden that dates back over 100 years. My wife and I really enjoyed strolling through the garden and seeing all of the exotic flowers that are everywhere in this garden. There are also plenty of benches to just sit, soak up the ambiance, and people watch.

I have always been a big fan of the artist Pablo Picasso, and the Museo Picasso Malaga was a great experience for art lovers. They had a very extensive collection of Picasso’s works, and I really enjoyed strolling through the building taking it all in, as well as the short little movie they had looping about Picasso’s life.

It is easy to forget that at one point Spain was under the control of the Moors for a good point of its history. When visiting Malaga it is very evident, as that is the site of the almost 1000 year old Alcazaba, an impressive fortress dating back to Moorish occupation. In addition to enjoying the citadel itself, and seeing the history exhibits there, I really enjoyed the view from the top of the wall, it gave a great view of all of Malaga.
