a must visit city!
you are welcome ..
especially these days because from last friday (august the 14th) to next sunday (23) the city is for fun. The biggest summer fair in Spain started with the traditional huge firework display which set the tone for the next nine days of festivities including concerts, bullfights, street performances and all the fun...

But La Coruña (in the north of Spain) has an awful weather in comparation with Malaga and because that his father look for a new work and get one in Barcelona. Picasso doesn´t moved to Barcelona by himself but his father and the family moved by work reasons.
Yeah, because the weather in NY is so much better than in Coruña... lol. Btw, I wouldn't call the weather "awful" up there, I mean, those disgustingly hot summers in Malaga and Barcelona... THAT is awful.
Very Beautifull !
