I was lucky to have found it open for the Sunday mass. I was utterly overwhelmed by the beautiful paintings, statues, and stunning features on the windows and ceiling. Pablo Picasso was apparently baptiste in this church in 1881.

Pablo Picasso was baptized in this church in 1881. The building is worth paying a visit as it remains quiet most of the time and the access is free. It has interesting art and sculptures paying tribute to James the Great. The architecture proves the different historic moments the building has gone through.

Beautiful mother depicted in its painting and figurine. The best Mother Mary seen in Malaga.

We were walking by and luckily this church was open. It has this rather intimate feeling about it as it is pretty small. There was still some time before the service would begin and I thought it was fine to take some photos.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
