Corner view Málaga: Cityscapes - Copenhagen

The corner view project at Spain Daily looks at life around the world: This week's theme is selected by Cele and is "cityscapes.

I have chosen to think of it as city(e)scape ... I am suffering a little bit of Copenhagenitis these days, so I will show you a few photos of Copenhagen.


With the back to the Copenhagen Opera House you have a great look over the habour and warehouses turned into hotels.


From one of the balconies at the Opera House you can see the Marble Church in the sunset ...


and if you turn your head a little you can see The Royal Danish Playhouse and the towers on the City Hall and Christiansborg.

Do not read


Yeah yeah, I know what they mean, but I just had to take a photo ...


Waiting in the airport is so boring and it takes so loooong time from the plane has landed until the one you are waiting for comes out ...

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.

Corner view Málaga: Coffee

For this week's theme Jane of Spain Daily asked a few questions:

How do you say "two coffees with milk"? Dos cafés con leche, por favor

What are the most popular ways to drink coffee? Café con leche, Cortado (coffee with a little milk) and Solo (espresso) and in summertime Solo con hielo (espresso served in its cup along with a tall glass with 1-3 large icecubes - you add the sugar you want, stir and then pour it over the icecubes. My husband loves it!)

French press, percolator, espresso, or other? Well, in the mornings it's french press - it is the fastest way:-)



Later in the day and if at home its Nespresso - right now this one is the favorite with milk in.

How do you take your coffee? Café con leche without sugar

Are you a dunker? No, I may get crumbs in the coffee, urgh :-)
Dunker = to dip (bread or other food) into a drink before eating it

What was the funniest topic of conversation over a recent cup of coffee? Oh, right now I cannot think of one, sorry ...

Core, peal and slice the apples. Place them in an ovenproof dish and sprinkle with sugar, cinnamon, raisins and nuts.
Mix and crumple the ingredients for the dough and sprinkle over the apples.

House in the Gualdamina river


This is not just someone who under the cover of darkness has dumped a house in the river.

No, this is an art installation by two Nordic artists: Tea Mäkipää y Halldor Ulfarsson engaged by the art museum CAC Málaga.

The house is "exhibited" in the river until July.
