MALAGA

Thursday 10th January.
We woke to a beautiful red and yellow sunrise which is on the horizon right in front of our apartment as we set off to see Malaga,Vidal and Gissy could not make it as his car had to go in for a check after being caught in the floods a couple of weeks ago.We went into the centre of Malaga and after a look at the new port were the new Queen Victoria docked last week we found a underground car park and came up right outside the new market that was due to open tomorrow in the old part of Malaga and also next to the main shopping area with the sales on! As we started to look around I had a phone call from the garage to say that the new part was not available in Madrid so they have had to order it from Germany and it will not be in till the middle of next week!We then headed for the Picasso Museum which is just round thr corner from the Cathedral and is housed in a very old building with very ornate ceilings but all the walls are white and the floors are pink marbled.The museum has as well as painting,sculpture's and pottery some very good pictures showing Picasso in his house in France.We then walked into the shopping area and found the Rodin sculpture's in the main”Calle Molina Larios” as you can see in the pictures below,The hand is pointing at the Restaurant “La Dehesa” were we had the Menu Del Dia and then went and had a walk around the very grand and large Cathedral of Malaga.We stopped for a coffee and brandy before we made our way back to Calahonda after a memorable day!
