Arts & Culture
“Everything you can imagine is real” – so said Pablo Picasso, Málaga’s most famous son. Imagine this: a converted 16th-century palace packed with little-known paintings by the master of Cubism. Dive headlong into Picasso’s imagination by getting your head around the geometric planes in Fruit Bowl or the dynamic curves of Acrobat.
