Málaga, Spain - Jardines de Picasso

A statue dedicated to Pablo Picasso by Miguel Ortiz Berrocal in the 'Jardines de Picasso', a small park just a kilometre or so west of the city centre on the Avenida de Andalucia. Just strolling around this city and taking in the diverse styles of architecture with their different colours/tones is a sheer delight. With a population of just over half a million, Málaga is the second largest city in Andalucia after Seville, the sixth biggest in Spain and, of course, the birthplace of artist, Pablo Picasso, and actor Antonio Banderas! It lies on the 'Costa del Sol' about 100 km (62 miles) east of the Straits of Gibraltar and only about 130 km (81 miles) north of Africa. For many tourists, Málaga is nothing more than an airport destination but for those willing to explore it a bit further, Málaga has much to offer in the way of historical monuments, serious retail therapy, good food, relaxing walks and views to die for! There are plenty more photos of Málaga and other Spanish towns/locations if you take a look at my 'Albums' page, www.flickr.com/photos/36623892@N00/sets/ - thank you.
