Malaga’s exciting new photography exhibition, Picasso At Work, adds to this Mediterranean gem’s cultural offering as Jet2.com offer reduced priced flights there

Sat on the Costa del Sol, the Spanish city of Malaga has for decades proven to be the perfect European holiday destination. Now, and thanks in part to being the birthplace of Pablo Picasso, it can also boast a thriving art community.

It is this cultural appeal that is helping to make the city more than just a gateway to the glorious sands of the Costa Del Sol. Furthermore, with Jet2.com offering flights to Malaga at a reduced price over the summer, more holidaymakers can make the most of the charms of this city.

A Unique and Artistic Insight

Featuring various temporary exhibitions, the Malaga Picasso Museum is currently showing the work of David Douglas Duncan, widely regarded as one of the most influential photographers of the 20th Century.

In this photography exhibit visitors will be able to see many of Picasso’s masterpieces at various stages of their creation, with over 70 paintings being presented alongside their corresponding photographs – this really is a must for anyone curious about one of the true masters of 20th Century art.

As well as this, the museum also features a further 80 pieces of his work, all donated by the Picasso family and spanning his entire career. The nearby building in which Picasso was born is now home to the Museo Casa Natal (or Birthplace Museum), and although the Malaga Picasso Museum, which has a much larger collection, it is still worth visiting for its more personal insights into the artist’s life.

Even More to Discover

Adding to this is Malaga’s world renowned Contemporary Art Centre, which is on hand to offer the very latest in European art. With a focus on the fresh and pioneering, it offers some genuinely challenging artwork. Thanks to their impressive track-record of securing travelling exhibits, there will always be something new and exciting on hand.

However, the greatest work of art on display in the city of Malaga is the city of Malaga itself. So regardless of what you do on your holiday, and there are now plenty of opportunities to visit the city with Jet2.com’s cheap flights to Spain offers, you’re sure to be taking in some truly breath-taking works of natural beauty.
