Art in Málaga

After a rather unsettled night and slow start I have a sweet croissant in the mall of the station before buying tickets and a tarjeta dorado. 

Then I head off to galleries with my swimming cossie in my bag.  It proves to be a successful 

day with plenty of art, though I should have got in the sea straight away when the beach was sunny.  Did not fancy wandering all day in a post sea state but unfortunately it was wavy and cloudy later and I wimped out; unlike me, but hasta Cadiz!  

Here is a not very good photo of the beach today as I walk to Museo Ruso. 

There is an exhibition 

Chagall y sus contemporáneos rusos

Very glad that my Spanish class mate recommended this museum. 

 

Next I take the bus to the other end of the city to see the Pompidou Centre at last.

Here is the view from the Pompidou, Málaga seems to have it's very own eye.  

My own Art Historian would love both the venues I visit today.  I see some works in Pompidou by artists who I have  encountered with her.  The permanent collection is amazing.  I love El cuerpo en pedazos. 

 There is a great video of children from Liverpool discussing an art work. 

A nice walk back to the hotel via the old railway to the port. 

For both my nights in Málaga I eat at El Calafete,  a veggie restaurant with a 9€ three course menu.  Increíble. Filling and tasty http://www.facebook.com/restaelcalafate
