    Avoid the midday lines for those with stamps and those without tickets, as they're incredibly long. We bought our 4 PM tickets from the official website and were able to get in straight away without a line. The exhibition hall is mostly dedicated to Picasso, with one section dedicated to modern abstract artists. If you have time, you should definitely check it out.

    The cathedral is located in the center of Malaga. It is one of the tallest buildings in Malaga. It has a long history and is very beautiful. The square outside the church is crowded with tourists, which is quite lively. The surrounding buildings are also very beautiful.

    The castle was actually a military fortress. Of course, it has now become a tourist attraction. Compared with the open-air theater, I think it is slightly less impressive, but the Mediterranean style and Mediterranean beauty here are still quite good.

His early painting style was similar to expressionism, and later he focused on primitive art, simplified images, and surrealism. For a period of time, he turned to sketching. In his later years, he created sculptures and pottery works. He died in France in 1973 at the age of 92.

    The castle is very beautiful. Although it has been renovated, it is still very simple. The very slow pace of life and the strong Mediterranean style make people just want to stop and appreciate this romantic Mediterranean scenery.

    Malaga Beach is the most famous beach here. In fact, there is no commercial development here. The scenery here is very gorgeous, with beautiful sunsets and a calm beach. It is really worth walking on this beach after dinner.

    DEAR张小球DEAR张小球

    There were very few tourists, almost just a few of us, and it was an ancient open-air theater with a long history. When you are at the edge of the steps, you can feel how spectacular it is. It is hard to imagine what it was like when there were so many people here.
