The Museo Picasso Málaga has 204 Picasso works,
donated and lent by his daughter-in-law Christine Ruiz-Picasso and grandson Bernard
Ruiz-Picasso, and also stages high-quality temporary exhibitions on Picasso themes. The
Picasso paintings, drawings, engravings, sculptures and ceramics on show (many never
previously on public display) span almost every phase and influence of the artist's colour-
ful career - blue period, cubism, surrealism and more, with a fascinating emphasis on
early, formative works.

Holy Week
FERIA DE MÁLAGA
Lasting nine days (mid- to late August), this is the biggest and most ebullient of An-
dalucía's summer fairs. During daytime, especially on the two Saturdays, celebra-
tions take over the city centre, with music, dancing and horses. At night the fun
switches to large feria grounds at Cortijo de Torres, 4km southwest of the city
centre, with fairground rides, music and dancing.
