MALAGA:

So after arriving in the airport in Malaga, we were able to successfully navigate to the train station, where we purchased tickets to go Malaga central, only 1,25 euros. Got off the train and headed into the city, where it took us about an hour to finally find the Museo Picasso Malaga. We actually got a fifty percent discount at the museum for being estudiantes, so it only cost us 3 euros, which pretty much rocked my world. The museum was chock-full of pieces of art that Picasso had made, and most of them were from his friends and family--what they call his ¨personal collection,¨ rather than his most famous pieces of work. We were going to try to go to the birthplace of Picasso (as in, his house until the age of 10) but we didn´t think we would have time until we were supposed to meet up with Dan and Jamie. So, we found a restaraunt called Cafeteria Lepanto, where we ended up sitting for almost 2 hours (so, in the end, we would have had time). The service was horrible, but the food was tasty.

Finally Dan and Jamie met up with us, after which we headed to the car and drove onward to Nerja...
