Malaga

We flew from Manchester to Malaga on Saturday morning after a lovely 60th celebration for our brother-in-law Mel. Stefan and Salvador met us at the airport and escorted us back by train. Malaga was warm, with a bit of wind. We have spent our time here with the kids, playing at the beach, walking to the parks and playing baseball in the square near their apt.
Babe Ruth look out!
HOME RUN!!!
On Sunday evening, we all went to a fabulous flamenco performance. The theatre was packed and Stefan and Hannah had arranged a boxed seat at the front for themselves and the boys. Trin watched the whole show, clapping and being delighted by the castanets, the dresses, the fast foot work and the music. Sal lost interest after 20 minutes, so watched a video on the ipad. Both boys were so well behaved and we were impressed that they were welcomed and not charged for a seat. Such a difference in acceptance of children here.
Les and I visited the Picasso museum. He was born around the corner from here and christened at the Church of Santiago, just a five minute walk away. We also visited the Museo Carmen Thyssen, which is a wonderful small museum of Spanish art from the last 160 years or so. Good interpretation and a good price. Love the seniors rates and I was delighted that they asked for ID ;-)
Today we had chocolate and churros with Stefan and Trin, while Hannah and Sal recovered from a bug, both feeling rather poorly. We later went to the cathedral
 and took note of the Spanish gold and silver:
Tomorrow we are off to Córdoba for the day and then to Madrid for three nights before returning to Montpellier. It's lovely to be in a very bright and sunny place.
