If you loved the Picasso in Seattle exhibit, and you’re craving more Pablo, head to Picasso’s birthplace – the Andalucía region of Spain – for a Fall getaway. Andalucía, and its famous capital Seville, is one of the warmest parts of Europe in October/November (Madrid and Barcelona are often freezing at this time of year). Airfares are cheaper, the crowds are less, and accommodation is a steal relative to Summer rates. Bon Voyage!

“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.” ~ Pablo Picasso
