Málaga, Spain ― Birthplace of Pablo Picasso and Antonio Banderas

The birthplace of Picasso and Banderas is a great mixture of ancient and modern.

While most people just fly in and out of Málaga on their Costa del Sol holiday, the city has its own unique charms and history.

A lot of people probably know that Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso was born in Málaga, Spain.

What's that? Too long for you? OK, just plain old Pablo Picasso.

The famous Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, and stage designer was born in the house to the left on October 25, 1881 and passed away on April 8, 1973

But did you know that the famous Spanish actor, José Antonio Domínguez Banderas, was also born there?

Known more commonly as Antonio Banderas, he still "treads the boards" in Málaga from time to time and supports the local theater community.

While you won't find any buildings dedicated to Banderas in Málaga, you can visit the birthplace of Picasso and also a museum displaying both his and other famous Spanish art.
