Malaga is a city in Andalusia in southern Spain, located on the sun coast of the Mediterranean Sea, and is the second largest port in Spain. According to the estimation in 2005, its population is 558,287, while the population of the entire Malaga metropolitan area is about 65,438+0,074,074, making it one of the five largest metropolitan areas in Spain. Malaga is surrounded by mountains and two rivers flowing into the Mediterranean, and its main income comes from agriculture and tourism.

Painter Pablo Picasso, century statesman Antonio Cá novas del Castillo and actor antonio banderas were all born in Malaga.

Malaga is a famous tourist destination and receives a large number of tourists every year. There are all kinds of very cheap charter flights between Malaga, Amsterdam and London. Many tourists come to Malaga to enjoy the good weather and beautiful sunshine coast.

Picasso was born here and spent his childhood here until 10. Malaga's life has a profound influence on his early "yellow period" creation.

There is a sightseeing carriage parked under the "one-armed" Malaga Cathedral. Around ten o'clock, there are not many tourists, the coachman is chatting, and the horse has nothing to do. Through the alley on the left of the church, you can see picasso museum not far away.

At the press conference before the museum opened, Christine Picasso said, "This is the result of a love." This love refers to Picasso's love for his hometown. The king and queen of Spain also personally attended the opening ceremony of the museum.

The building of the museum is a very typical Andalusian style building, which is the Earl's Palace of Bonavista in16th century. Later, the remains of ancient Phoenicians, Romans and Nazarenes were excavated under the palace. In addition, the museum also "grafted" a modern exhibition hall, which is 2 1 century modern style, and the ceiling adopts open canvas to meet the pouring Mediterranean sunshine. This technique is equivalent to the essence of Picasso's creation: beautifying practicality into artistry. Therefore, today's picasso museum is a style building that combines16th century and 2 1 century.

Picasso is the pride of Malaga, and people come to picasso museum in an endless stream every day. In addition to exhibiting Picasso's early works, we also saw Picasso's ceramic works from Hakone-CHO in the modern exhibition hall on the day of our visit.

Natural things, especially animals, such as pigeons, birds, cat heads and goats, are all sources of inspiration for Picasso. It highlights the artistry and practicality of ceramic art. He pinched his nails with his hand, and the picture became another shape. He also made sculptures out of pottery.

Out of the museum, I went to look for Picasso's second stop: San Diego church, the church where Picasso was baptized.

San Diego Church is the oldest church in Malaga. When you enter the door, there is a marble sink on the right. Picasso was baptized here on 188 1 year 1 month1day. At that time, children had to be baptized at birth, and only washed children could go to heaven. Picasso's two sisters were also baptized here.

There are also two famous statues of the Virgin Mary in the church, and a parade is held in Malaga every Easter. Put some bottles of olive oil in front of the Madonna. Malaga's friend said we came at a bad time. If we come in the afternoon, we can see a lot. Many people come here to make a wish, and olive oil is the gift they hope to get.

Leave the church and move on. Not far away is Merseyside Square. Pigeons piled up in the square, surrounded by children. Previously, they also surrounded Picasso in this way. Pigeons in the square are Picasso's father's and Picasso's favorite materials when painting.

No. 15 in the northwest corner of the square is where Picasso/kloc-0 was born on October 25th. 188 1. Upstairs, there is a room that imitates the environment of that year, displaying the dress Picasso wore when he was baptized and Picasso's father's painting tools. Picasso's illustrations are collected in the exhibition hall downstairs. It is said that Picasso's father could not afford the rent and moved to the third floor next door.

The vicissitudes of Malaga's history pervade the Muslim castle in Alcatravko on the same roof. There are several courtyards, barracks and passages in the wall. The military uniforms and weapons of the Spanish army in the 18 and 19 centuries are displayed in the military camp. On the observation deck of the ancient city of Fallot in Shibula, you can enjoy the gardens in the castle, overlooking the whole city and port, and overlooking the distant green hills. At the foot of Le Fallot Mountain in Shibula, there is a restored ancient Roman theater. Whenever summer comes, there will be a grand open-air performance here. It is said that antonio banderas, a famous Spanish Hollywood movie star, once showed his elegance on this stage. There is an old customs building beside Lin Yin Avenue along the coast. Picasso's uncle used to be the customs Commissioner in Malaga, and the Maragata bullring that fascinated Picasso as a child was just around the corner.

Speaking of Andalusia, it is blue sky and snow-white mountain villages. On the background of gray hills, or in the middle of Shan Ye, which is full of olive trees, a village appears in front of us, with white walls reflecting dazzling sunlight. This kind of beauty is the unique charm of Andalusia.

On one side of the road from Malaga to Mihaas is the rolling Andalusian mountains, and on the other side is the dreamy Mediterranean lights. The luxurious lunch in Malaga delayed our arrival in Mihaas, and the last ray of sunshine had fallen on the sea.

Mihaas used to be a quaint white mountain village, but now donkeys are used as live props for tourists to shoot, not for farming. Before I came here, I heard that the characteristic of "donkey pulling taxi" here may be that I met the donkey too late. I smelled the donkey in the evening air.

Standing on the observation deck, the close shot is a long white house, the middle shot is the small town of Fuen Girola with bright lights at night, and the distant view is the Mediterranean Sea.

Next to the observation deck, there is also a small church built on the mountain. The church is just a small cave, where the statue of the Virgin Mary is enshrined, and the roof platform is also a good place to see the scenery.

Wandering in the village, uphill and downhill, all the way to white houses, white walls and windowsills with colorful flowers. The front street of the mountain village is mainly white houses where local residents live.

The white Mihaas under the night light is like an unreal world, giving off warm light.

The mornings in Marbella are very quiet. In the morning 10: 30, all the shops were closed on the way to the orange tree square in front of the city government. Only the waiters in Orange Tree Square are busy setting tables and chairs for the morning market with a thick stack of chair cushions. At this time, the pink Datura flower in the square is blooming brilliantly.

In addition to the quiet orange tree square town, the most famous yacht marina in Banus on the Sun Coast has also started a day of noise. The yacht marina, which stretches for several kilometers, not only gathers top yachts, but also gathers top sports car styles. It is rumored that there are more people on the beach than sand during the holiday.

Marbella is known as "Monaco of Spain". Like Monaco, it is also a playground for superstars, Arab princes, millionaires, royalty and matadors. Hollywood's big stars, sean connery, Spanish antonio banderas, love song prince Julio Lglesias, and even the Beckhams of Real Madrid were all moved by this! Many people who come to Marbella are most interested in the beautiful scenery, because many people are more eager to see the legendary palace of King Fahd of Saudi Arabia, which can be compared with the White House of the United States. This 20-hectare palace is the place he often visited in 1976, and it has been continuously expanded and renovated, which is a model of super luxury.

The coffee shop on the yacht dock has started to make delicious coffee, and the guests are pouring in, basking in the sun and looking at Gibraltar in the distance. It turns out that we are only a stone's throw from Africa!

It is said that when King Fernandez of Spain first saw this land, he shouted "Beautiful sea!" " Hence the name Marbella.
