Pulling out Teeth in the Warm Sun in Winter (XI) Malaga: the Capital of Southern Europe and the City of Picasso.

At the southernmost tip of the European continent, there is a pure land forgotten by time, where the sunshine is in full bloom all year round, where the classic history and cultural heritage of Spain gather. That is Má laga in Malaga, Andalusia, the gateway to Spain's sunshine coast, one of the largest cities in southern Europe, and a "southern European capital" both ancient and present.

Malaga is not as famous as Granada, her neighboring city, but it also has a profound cultural and historical background. At the same time, Malaga is also the hometown of talented painter Picasso. Picasso once said: People who have not experienced the sunshine in Malaga cannot create cubist painting art.

Nobel Prize in Literature winner Lysander once praised this beautiful place as a "paradise city".

In order to get closer to this talented painter, we made a special trip to lock this city of Picasso with a history of thousands of years as our next destination.

It is afternoon after visiting the Alhambra Palace. I always thought that we still had a very important task today-to find Picasso's footprints, so we rushed to Málaga, the hometown of Picasso, before sitting down to eat.

according to the pathfinding navigation, we arrived in Malaga smoothly. The first thing you see is Av.de Cervantes Street. This baroque building was built in 1919 in Ayuntamiento de Málaga, Malaga City Hall.

Malaga, the warmest and bustling metropolis in southern Europe, exudes a mix of history and modernity everywhere. The car flew past the city hall, but we can still clearly see that the typical European sculpture is still preserved on the column support of the light yellow exterior wall.

While driving, the past lost its brilliance, and the vicissitudes of history quickly receded, but they also silently reminded us that this is Malaga.

Although due to time, many historical sites are too late for us to walk in and see their true appearance with our own eyes, these sites after the baptism of time seem to be the best gifts of this city.

after passing through a tunnel, Alcazaba, the tile castle in Alcazar, suddenly appeared at the front of the car, sitting quietly on a hill, silently telling the history and culture of Malaga.

The historical vicissitudes of Malaga permeate around this Muslim castle, which is also the location of the ancient city of Malaga.

We parked our car in an underground parking lot opposite the castle, and then we were going to explore Picasso's footprints on foot.

When we walked out of the parking lot, we saw a small porcelain painting of Jesus inlaid on the wall, which made me feel that Malaga still exudes religious colors everywhere.

Standing on the street of Malaga, looking at the speeding cars and buildings with three or four storeys on both sides of the street, few pedestrians pass leisurely .......................................................................................................................................

crossing this narrow road, we walked towards the old town of Malaga. Although the development of modernization has made Malaga lose some of its original flavor, the rich colors on the pedestrian street exude the unique charm of Spain.

khaki and reddish brown are the most basic color combinations of Spanish architecture. This more simple and warm color makes the whole street bright and eye-catching, but not too ostentatious, giving people a feeling of sunshine, vitality, softness and sureness.

There is a building everywhere on the street, and beautiful ceramics are embedded in windowsills, steps and walls. These seemingly random ceramics, with colorful and exquisite patterns, attract our attention.

This trip of tooth extraction seems to be more like a trip of ceramics. Along the way, a variety of beautiful ceramics appeared from time to time, and they have been deeply integrated into Iberian life.

Spain deserves to be the most famous producer of ceramics in the world. Here, the various ceramic shops on the street are overwhelming.

pass by a quaint little hotel. This old European-style hotel (even called a hostel in some places) located in the ancient city is the most popular choice in this trip. Mainly because most of them have good locations and relatively cheap prices, but for me, I prefer the old elevators, creaking wooden floors and carved balconies like bay windows, which are so small that they can only accommodate two or three people ...

Moving on, we saw a beautiful tower through the cracks in the buildings on both sides of the street. This is the bell tower of Catedral de Málaga in Malaga Cathedral, which is the commanding height of the whole city, and it is easy to see it from all angles.

Malaga Cathedral is one of the most important buildings in Malaga, and it is considered as the treasure of the Renaissance in Andalusia. The original design of the two towers, but due to lack of funds, it has become an out-and-out "unfinished building", and there is still only one tower. The Venus-like beauty has become a major style of it, so it is also called "one-armed cathedral".

Now, this ancient city built by Phoenicians, under the rule of Rome and Arabia, has undergone numerous historical changes, like an old man who has been read by countless people, becoming more and more humiliated.

It seems that the sky in Malaga is especially blue and bright because of the Mediterranean sunshine. Every minute I walk through the streets, I feel as if I am getting closer to Picasso.

To Malaga, it is essential to explore Picasso's footprints. So, we walked past many buildings in the old city and through winding alleys, and a simple but eye-catching chapel appeared on the roadside.

In the bright sunshine, the yellow door wall, the red door opening and the national emblem on the gate all look so different.

We have passed this small church not far from picasso museum twice, and inexplicably imagined it as the church where Picasso was baptized when he was born. In an instant, we felt as if an artist's childhood cries echoed in our ears ...

Malaga is Picasso's hometown, and because of Picasso, the air here seems to have some artistic flavor. Street works of art everywhere reflect diamond-like light in the sun.

near the tourist service center marked with the letter "I", we saw a colorful painted wall full of Spanish elements.

I was deeply attracted by this bright color, so I approached it involuntarily.

Malaga deserves to be the hometown of Picasso, a Spanish artist. Now it is no exaggeration to call it "the city of Picasso". Everything here exudes a strong artistic atmosphere, and people seem to have extraordinary artistic talent.

In this city full of Picasso, Picasso's art can be seen not only in museums, but also in graffiti on the streets and various walls, where the world can imitate the works of this talented master. The city has also gained a lot of points and colors because of Picasso.

whether strolling in the old building block of Malaga or rippling in the modernization trend of the new town, the collision between heavy history and modern art will bring us a sense of visual impact at any time.

The rich culture of this city makes it present colorful colors, such as the brilliant red of Flamenco's long skirts, the gray green of olive trees in the city, the milky white of ancient buildings, the blue sky and the golden sunshine ..................................................................................................................

There are many souvenir shops on both sides of the street. There are refrigerator stickers, small paintings, pendants, mugs and even aprons with the theme of Picasso's creation, and the prices are more than half cheaper than those in museums. Therefore, it attracts many tourists to choose here.

This is really Picasso's hometown, and Picasso's traces are almost everywhere in the old city. I was looking around, and I didn't want to meet Museo Picasso Málaga of picasso museum unexpectedly in the crowd.

when you come to Malaga, you must not miss picasso museum. The museum is located in the alley of the ancient city, which is extremely low-key, and the facade is simply too simple. If it weren't for the red font on the wall, we almost passed it.

Picasso left Malaga at the age of 19, and then he became famous in Barcelona and France. However, his wish is to return to the place where he was born and raised to exhibit his works. Although I don't know why, I couldn't make it. After his death, his descendants sponsored the museum.

The exterior wall color of the museum is a single beige color, and the simple shape and pure color are ingeniously integrated with the whole block.

From the outside, the museum is small, even smaller than Barcelona's, which is out of proportion to the lifetime creation of the master artist.

Picasso is the pride of Malaga, and there is always a constant stream of people visiting picasso museum every day. Today coincides with Sunday, and you can visit it for free from 18: to 2: . Although it is only 3: 3 in the afternoon, there is already a long queue waiting for a free visit at the door.

However, we have to get to Long Da, another small town in Andalusia tonight, and we also want to visit the hometown of the Smurfs on the way. Time is limited, so we have no time to queue up.

Since we came to Picasso's birthplace, how could we not go to picasso museum to have a look if we like to visit museums? So we decided to be extravagant and willful once, and they spent 18 euros and walked in front of a long queue.

When we made this decision, I subconsciously looked up at the tall tower of the museum. A ray of bright sunshine came down directly from the roof, just like the master was smiling at us.

Photographing is not allowed in the exhibition hall of the museum. At the entrance, the staff will force visitors to store cameras, drinks and water.

What I didn't expect most was that there was a Chinese tour guide in the museum. I didn't hesitate to take one, NICE!

Walking into picasso museum, a two-story courtyard is very bright in the sun. It is a very typical Andalusian style building. It is the Earl's Palace of Poena Vista in the 16th century and retains its Renaissance style.

There are three picasso museum in the world: one is in Paris, Picasso became famous in France, and most of them are his most famous mature works; A museum in Barcelona, the first and only one that Picasso personally selected when he was alive, is also his former residence. There is also a museum in Malaga, the birthplace of Picasso, which was donated by his descendants.

Simple, smooth and pure architectural style, beige buildings, white railings and columns, arched corridors, not only have the characteristics of Moorish courtyard, but also have the style of modern architecture.

Because of the insufficient exhibition area, the museum extended from the palace, and a two-storey modern exhibition hall was built in a 195s courtyard next door. The old and new buildings are integrated, cloisters and walkways are skillfully used, and there is no trace of transition, making it a style building that combines the 16th and 21st centuries.

Like the city of Malaga, the museum magically combines history and modernity, and the transition is subtle and natural. This technique is quite the essence of Picasso's creation: beautifying practicality into artistry.

Although the museum is as low-key as its appearance, Picasso's light cannot be concealed. Under the brilliant sunshine of Andalusia, it is still shining today.

Picasso is a great modernist painter in Spain and one of the most influential masters of modern art in the world. His achievements in the art of painting have brought great world fame to Spain.

Picasso is a seeker of ever-changing artistic techniques. In all kinds of variation styles, he keeps his rough and strong personality, and can achieve internal unity and harmony in the use of various techniques.

the museum is small, but it has everything. There are 24 pieces of Picasso's works including oil paintings, prints, sketches, ceramics, sculptures, etc., covering almost all his creative styles and his explorations in his later years. Some works have never been publicly exhibited.

In addition, there are Picasso's handwritten manuscripts and books with his illustrations, which show Picasso's artistic ideas in an all-round way and are a good place to fully understand Picasso's artistic career and creative ideas.

I believe that most people, like me, don't know Picasso very well, only know that he is an abstract painter, but in fact his painting started from realism.

The earliest collection is The Little Girl and Her Doll, a work by Picasso in Barcelona when he was 15 years old, in which the person is his sister. From the painting, we can see that Picasso is a talented artist. When he was a teenager, his works were very sophisticated, his painting style was constantly changing, his painting methods could be switched at will, and any subject could be easily controlled.

In Sanmao's eyes, Picasso's painting style is changeable, and his pen is full of charm. It seems that he has the skills of a wizard and the feelings of a prophet, and he can outline a reflected world with lines and colors.

picasso museum enchants art lovers. In this land, the innovative spirit of the most outstanding artists in the 2th century is still inspiring future generations to make breakthroughs and explorations.

due to time constraints, we abandoned other scenic spots in Malaga, walked out of the alley and headed for Fundacion Picasso, messer Square across the street.

As it is the weekend, a Sunday market is being held in the square. A circle of white booths surround the tall monument, and the booths are all kinds of items from various households in Malaga. In normal times, I would definitely stop and take a closer look, but today I can't, so I just don't even look.

In the center of the square stands a monument to General Doritos who died for freedom. He is a Spanish hero who fought against the French army.

In a corner of the square, a statue of an old man sits quietly on the stone bench under the acacia tree. This humble old man is Picasso.

this is the place where he spent his childhood. Nowadays, the great painter always looks at the square where he played in his childhood. The story of his hometown is all in his eyes and heart.

Behind the sculpture, it is a newly renovated three-story building with yellow and white colors. It is the birthplace of Picasso and has been turned into the former residence of Picasso, Museo Casa Natal, for people to visit and remember.

On January 25th, 1881, Picasso was born in Malaga, which was praised as a "paradise city" by Nobel Prize in Literature winner Lysander, and spent 1 years in his childhood here.

The sunshine in Malaga brings good memories and inspiration to his childhood. The colorful colors of the earth laid the foundation for his future painting creation.
