Malaga, malaga getaway, museums

malaga museums

It was a very cultural week. I went to three new (well, new for me) museums in Málaga this visit. Top row: Museum of Popular Arts & Traditions, Museum of Glass & Crystal, Interactive Music Museum. Then I re-visited the Contemporary Art Centre and the Carmen Thyssen Gallery. All in two days! I will (hopefully!) be writing more about these places on Azahar Spain soon. But if you are planning a trip to Málaga then check them all out. As well as the Automobile Museum, the Russian Art Museum and – at least from the outside – the shiny new Pompidou.

welcome to málaga!

biznagas, Malaga, malaga getaway

biznaga guy

So this happens in Málaga every summer. You find the biznaga sellers all over the place selling, well, biznagas. Which are clusters of jasmine blossoms stuck onto a multi-spiked dried plant (ammi visnaga). And they are very pretty as you can see. But as much as I like a gentle whiff of jasmine blossom from time to time, for example passing by a jasmine bush in Sevilla, having a biznaga anywhere near me is a total attack on my olfactories (so you can imagine what twenty of them can do). It’s just WAY TOO MUCH. But hey, this is Málaga and they love their biznagas. Just keep them away from me in enclosed spaces, and especially anywhere that food and wine are being enjoyed.

Great being here though. My second home.

The splendid Rosa Belmonte. Every time one of my Flamenco Tapas Tours coincides with Rosa performing I go all fan girl and sit mesmerized in my privileged front row seat. Seriously the epitome of grace, elegance and duende.

nazarenos, semana santa, sevilla, weird

semana santa meringuePeople often comment on how Nazarenos look sinister, even without the obvious KKK reference. Well, this week while out on a Triana Tapas Tour (perfect for midday tours during Semana Santa – it was lovely and quiet over there!) I happened across a bakery that was closed for the holidays. And these little meringue nazarenos caught my eye, all droopy and melty from being left in a sunny shop window. And then I noticed the sad bendy birthday candles they were holding, an attention to detail that totally melted my heart.

nazarenos de verdad
