“When I was a child my mother said to me, 'If you become a soldier, you'll be a general. If you become a monk, you'll be the pope.' Instead I became a painter and wound up as Picasso.”
― Pablo Picasso=============================================================
(in the capital of Spain's Costa del Sol) One of the world's oldest cities, Málaga, lies along a wide bay of the Mediterranean Sea at the mouth of the Guadalmedina River in the center of the Costa del Sol. Málaga is one of the foremost Spanish Mediterranean ports after Barcelona. The port’s main exports, most of which are produced in the eastern Andalusia hinterland, include iron ore, dried fruit, almonds, olive oil, oranges, lemons, olives, canned anchovies, and the famous Málaga sweet wine. Sheltered by the surrounding sierras, Málaga’s mild climate makes it a popular and internationally known resort city. Today, art is displayed everywhere in this city -- you can experience exhibits dedicated to glass and crystal, classic cars, contemporary installations, and, of course, the works of Picasso, who was born here. Wander past banana trees and beautiful fountains as you walk through Paseo del Parque, then hit the Old City to visit the Roman amphitheater, a Moorish fortress, and the polychromatic Pompidou Center. (The Guadalmedina River flows through Málaga from north to south.)
