While Mijas is awash in whitewash, I’ve also mentioned that it’s walls are adorned with color everywhere you turn. Today we’re going to highlight the color by looking at the lush green spaces all over town. And while I mean for the most part vegetation when I mention green space, that’s not to say there aren’t splashes of manmade green as well. Take, for example, this splash of green at a typical Mijas café scene:

So, for today, let’s enjoy the floral nature of Mijas with this photo gallery/slide show:
Time for Part 3 of my four-part Fun Photo Friday series on Málaga and Mijas. Before I display a gallery of photos, however, I want to point out one sight that overlooks Mijas. This is the Ermita del Calvario (Calvary Hermitage):

Now for today’s gallery/slide show of Mijas favorites:
Ursula had a destination she wanted to visit on our walk along Calle Málaga. And since I’m a huge fan of Salvador Dalí, I was anxious to see the Centro de Arte Contemporáneo (Center of Contemporary Art — CAC) as well. Of course, it wouldn’t be a museum for modern art if, in Spain, you weren’t greeted by the master himself, Mr. Pablo Picasso:

Most of the pieces here are not originals. Indeed, we have a few Salvador Dalí pieces ourselves, with original signatures, and several of our pieces were also on view here at the museum:
The museum is on two floors, and you can comfortably browse through it in under half an hour. For the minimal cost of admission, I’d say it’s worth the viewing.

The display areas are nicely lighted, the walls bright, and the art uncrowded:

Time to say “goodbye” to ol’ Pablo…
Bye, Pablo
… and start heading back to rejoin our tour group. Back on Calle Málaga at the colorful Terraza Panoramica:
