Sunday in Malaga
Posted Nov 21, 2010
Had a long day yesterday.
Big hotel breakfast and then a sleep after waking up early
we took the city tour which gave a good overview.
Got off bus and went to picasso's birthplace museum which was very interesting ESP for seeing the work of an Argentinian artist called Berni who was new to me
went to the Picasso museum which was sperm both as a building and in terms of the exhibitions. There was one on toys and avant garde art which was very interesting
it wAs too early to eat at that point as nowhere open until about 8.30 and so we went back to hotel and then out again
went to a fab veggie restaurant in the same square as the Picasso birthplace
had 3 fab food experiences yesterday. The salmon and spinach pasty type thing I had in a bar, carrot cake at Picasso museum and chick pea soup and stuffed aubergine at veggie restaurant
off out on tour bus this am to go fir a walk alo g beach boardwalk

Saturdy in Malaga
Posted Nov 20, 2010
The journey here was very straightforward. I managed to sleep on the plane which was good
We are staying at the Barcelo hotel which is at the new railway station and is rather fab with all sorts of uirky touches like a slide from the 1st floor down to the ground floor ( lthough i havent seen anyone use it so far)
The room is lovely.
malaga is a bit of a mess because of building work everywhere but we have found the nice areas and it is lovely
We went for a wander yesterday afternoon and enjoyed eating out in the sun without even a cardigan ( although it did get cold later). Came back and had a lovely sleep and then went out in the evening. We found a fab bodega by chance and ate there. It was wonderful ( anotnio banderas had been there) and they allowed smoking which of course made me think of Richard and how he would have loved it there.
Today we are going to get tickets for the sightseeing bus and will go round once to get a feel for the place and then go and visit the places of interest.
Tomorrow we will take a train somewhere. I gave up on the morrocco idea.
I feel very relaxed which is a relief as Ive been anxious about coming away.
Time for another cup of tea from my trusty travel kettle.

Need to leave at 4.30.
