Day 4 - Sevilla, Malaga

Today I finished my morning off in Sevilla, visiting Alcazar, a royal residence in Sevilla. In spain, lots of tourist attractions give discounts to students, usually 50% or more off of the price. It only cost me 2 euros to visit here! I travelled by train in the afternoon to Malaga, and found myself quite tired on arrival. Nevertheless, I set out to explore the city, visiting the Birthplace of Picaso, a museum with lots of Picasso art, the Malaga cathedral, and walking along the port. My feet were in lots of pain again, and I retired to my hotel early. Hence the time to work on these postings!

Enjoy :)













Alcazar - the oldest royal residence in Europe. Beutiful rooms filled with intricate details, different works of art, and a large garden to explore.


Me inside the palace.


Outside in the gardens near a fountain. It was quite beutiful just strolling through the trees and the well groomed bushes. Very relaxing.



Sevilla Cathedral in the daytime. This picture does not do justice to it's size!


My hotel in Malaga. Very nice. Lots of space. Fancy bathroom! There is a slide in the lobby. Will take a picture of it tomorrow.

Streets of Malaga.



Did you know Picaso was born in Malaga? I did not know either! Lots of Picaso works to see here.


Cool piece of Picaso art. I secretly took this picture as cameras were not allowed.



Me in front of the birthplace of Pablo Picaso. It's the leftmost yellow house.


First site of ocean as the sun was setting.



The Malaga Cathedral at night. Christmas lights on orange trees line the entrance.

Churros dipped in chocolate for dinner. Why not? Yes, that is a cup of chocolate :)

Night lights in Malaga. Streets were full of performers, people, and just an overall upbeat vibe. Lots of fun.
