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.

breakfast, la recova, Malaga, malaga getaway

breakfast of champions

I’ve popped into the wonderfully cluttered La Recova many times but this was the first time I stopped in to eat. According to Victor @welovemalaga they serve an amazing breakfast so we chose to go there for our regular Tuesday morning We Love Tapas @welovetapastour meeting. We usually do this by Skype, so it was great to actually meet up in person and, well, have this amazing breakfast.

For a whopping 2.20€ you get coffee or tea, a thick slice of toasted country bread, and a whole whack of toppings: olive oil, butter, fresh tomatoes, peach jam, banana spread, sobrasada, two zurrapas (chicharrones and pork loin & pimentón) and paté. All served with a smile. We’re doing more breakfast research this week, but this one is going to be hard to beat.

burguer bull

I never feel like I’ve truly arrived in Málaga until I’ve had my first “burguer bull” with a glass of Botani. So glad that’s sorted then…

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.
