Unfortunately, the visit to the Alhambra, which had originally been planned, could not take place due to a problem with the railway connections. Trains to Granada were suspended and, although some replacement buses were available, they were not sufficient to accommodate all the people who needed to reach the city. For this reason, we were forced to cancel the visit.
However, this unexpected situation did not discourage us: since we were in Malaga, we decided to take the opportunity to visit the city and discover its most significant places.
Our first encounter with Malaga was a discovery of its historic center. We visited the Roman Theatre, a reminder that the Romans also conquered this territory, leaving a significant mark on its history.
We then entered the Baroque cathedral, which surprised us with its sense of lightness despite the imposing size of the structure. Finally, we walked through the streets of the city center, crowded with tourists, partly because a film festival dedicated to Spanish-language cinema was taking place in the city.
We also visited the birthplace of Pablo Picasso in Malaga, which has been turned into a museum dedicated to the famous painter. Inside the house where he was born, we were able to observe several interesting works and learn more about the early years of the artist who would later become one of the most influential figures in modern art.
