Plaza de la Merced


The jacaranda trees are blooming right now. Also on Plaza de la Merced providing nice shadows if you want to take a rest on one of the benches.

Simon and Picasso
On one of the benches sits Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso or just Pablo Picasso.
The handsome young man having a conversation with him is my son :-)

Malaga has two venues dedicated to Pablo Picasso, the Museo Picasso and Casa Natal, his native house on Plaza de la Merced.

Stop by HEY HARRIET to see other Sunday Shadow Shots from around the world and how to join in if you like.

  1. These are so fabulous! I lived in Spain for a year and a half and still miss it, I love the jacaranda trees and both my daughter and I are wild about the tango, we both dance it, but she is 100 times better. Wonderful shadow shots in addition to being drop dead gorgeous! Made my day!
