Monday 20th March 2017: Malaga to Granada


Breakfast at hotel, morning tourism in Malaga.  Visited Malaga Cathedral, Picasso museum which had about 100 Picasso works of painting, drawing and sculpture.  Liked the earlier Cubist paintings and a couple of the wacky sculptures.  The guy certainly can paint, so not sure why he stopped.

 

Made it to the bus station only just on time having miscalculated the walk, and caught what may have been the wrong bus!  Caused a little commotion in that our seats (nos. 1 & 2 of course, booked months ago) were occupied already by humans.  Thought that maybe the seat bookings were actually informal and my ten words of Spanish didn’t cover a conversation about bus seating protocol in Southern Andalusia, and so took two other seats.  When the occupants of those seats arrived there was a hurried shuffle of several humans (mostly us) and we were dealt after a thorough shuffling into two separate seats.  No idea if we were on the wrong bus (leaving coincidentally to the same place at correct time) or if two others took our seats or double-booked.  Nonetheless, a comfortable ride and took us to Granada (Spain not Peru).

 

Taxi to our accommodation at Smartsuites Albacin.  Very nice spacious, modern, self-catering apartment in the ancient town not far from the L’Alhambra, full of winding, narrow, cobbled streets.

 

Dinner out at one of the many Tapas cafes.  Very tasty marinated olives that even Martha liked.
