OCTUBRE
PICASSIANO (PICASSIAN OCTOBER)
Every October, the Picasso Foundation organizes
a series of events to commmerate the birth
of the brilliant artist here in Malaga on
October 25, 1881. You can attend exhibitions
of his work, musical shows, conferences, international
symposia and popular celebrations. Picasso's
relationship with Málaga is explored from
a different angle every year. The foundation
awards a grant to an aspiring artist during
the celebrations.
DÍA
DE LA VICTORIA
Día de la Victoria (Victory Day) is
celebrated on September 8th every year when
the locals commemorate the day when the Reyes
Catlicos (Catholic Monarchs) took the city
from the Moors in the late-1400s. At midday
a famous local celebrity makes a speech followed
by a procession from Nuestra Seora de la Victoria
Church to the city centre with the presence
of Town Hall officials. It is a colourful
and exciting occasion and joining in the procession
is a great way to get a different view of
the city and its people.
