BEST THINGS TO DO ON THE COSTA DEL SOL
Part 3
Art to See on the Costa del Sol
Art runs deep in the soul of Spain. Some of man’s oldest cave drawings come from the caves of Altamira up north. And to the south, the last outposts of the Neanderthal boast art from nearby Gorham’s Cave in Gibraltar.
When you want to take a break from feeding your stomach you can feast your eyes on amazing works of art. Some of the best stops (which offer free entry some times/days) include the Carmen Thyssen, the Pablo Picasso, and the Centre Pompidou.
The Carmen Thyssen is my favorite. It whisks you away to the days of old in Andalusia with vibrant colors and highly-detailed portrayals of life long ago. Here you can drink in all the culture that runs as deep as the Med through its artwork. You can be blown-away by paintings so old and so detailed they seem like selfies and group shots – from the same local culture, but of another age.
Finally, there is the wonderful the CAC, the Centro de Arte Contemporáneo de Málaga. As a former regular of this modern art museum, I highly recommend it. It is always free and serves as a great shelter from the summer heat. Here, you can gawk at ultramodern works and ask yourself “¿Qué quiso decir?” (“what did they mean?”).
