Up around 7 and coffee at home...


...before heading to the airport for breakfast...

Happy Birthday to the Executive Producer...


Into the air around 10:15 for a three and a half hour flight...








...to Malaga...


On the airport bus at 3, Spanish time...


A 30 minute journey then a short walk through the old town...


...to our apartment...



...and installed just after 4...



The views from the office this afternoon...





Out for an initial reconnoitre...


Inevitably, it ended in beer (and unpictured patatas bravas and particularly garlicky chicken)...


Kitty was here briefly earlier this year and had yesterday alerted me to good doughnuts - we sent a pic back to our niece in Scotchland...


A walk around the old town, getting our bearings...


The Roman Theatre...


...with pigeon-stalking cats...


City musea...


..and ruined (or not so ruined) castles...


This wee monkey looked a bit scraggly and ear-bitten...


On down to the port...



On our way, wild parrots were spied - they were on parrot business which they advised was not our concern...


Good views down at the post under late, slightly overcast skies...



...which brightened later...










Back to town - this, the rear of the Picasso Museum - from which we were ejected in 2005 for trying to gain entry without paying - what were we thinking?  It's only 6 Euros - one for tomorrow...


For now though, some supply shopping...




...some researching...


...and beers on the not particularly large balcony...

  
Out again for a walk around re nightlife - the theatre...


The square of Picasso's birthplace...



...and a nice wee bar...


...outside of which we could watch the world go by....






Cheers...

 



The birthday girl had no room for anything to eat post the 4:30 Tapas but your correspondent enjoyed a tasty chicken wrap from this establishment...


...before we returned to the apartment and turned in for the night...

Today's artwork "Your Life Jacket is Under Your Seat"...


Highlight of the Day : On holiday for Anne's birthday...
