So today Amber, Sabrina, and I got together and finalized our plans. We have chosen Milaga, Spain. It is the birthplace of Pablo Picasso and we actually will be staying right next door to his old home. That wasn't why we chose it of course but it sure doesn't hurt! We felt, after 18+ years of being mother's, we desearved a weekend full of sun, food, and the Alboran Sea. Apparently our husbands (Captain Jack included) agreed since they fished out the funding for it! :)
We will leave Friday, May 30th and return Monday, June 2nd. Our flights cost only 343.68 Euro for all three flights and 194.73 Euro for three nights! It will cost each of us 179.49 Euro or $248.08. Not bad for flight and hotel!
I'm hoping my 6 years of Spanish will help me in any way. Especially since I still can't speak Spanish fluently...wonder what I spent those college dollars on exactly!
Malaga is a seaside town and has an 11th century Moorish Fort called Alcazaba.
That will be some of our history and culture that we will fit in between food and the beach. :) Not to mention wine and Tapas!
There is also a Roman Theatre which I am sure we will have to go to so we can sing and dance for all to see...or make fun of...whatever!
And of course we will have to hang out with Pablo Picasso himself when we get the chance.
Hopefully he will loosen up a little and buy us Americans a couple drinks! :) We will, after all, be staying right next door to his childhood home. Which, by the way, is right above a bar. How convenient!
I found these pictures from another blogger who recently went to Malaga and gave me some great ideas on how to spend our time. More to come after the trip!
