rotterdam - de hofbogen

Sunday 25th of February - Rotterdam

Sunday citywalk along de Hofbogen in Rotterdam Noord.

Lots of colorful street art and small entrepreneurs and a good coffee at Man met bril koffie.

We had lunch in Station Bergweg at Chez Jan and both enjoyed a classic hot dog, with pickles and sauerkraut. Haven't eaten in forever, it was delicious!

Wonderful news! A special city park will be built on top of the Hofbogen railway viaduct.
Construction of the park will start in 2025 and the black roof will be changed into a green carpet at the end of 2027. With a length of two kilometers, the Hofbogenpark will be the longest roof park in the Netherlands.

Photo exhibition Edward Quinn: Picasso y los años dorados de la Costa Azul. 140 photos by Edward Quinn of Picasso and the celebrities at the Côte d'Azur in Centro Cultural La Malagueta, located in Plaza de Toros.

Coffee & cake at Cafeteria Flor.

Discovering the non-touristy La Victoria district with surprisingly street art. We had delicious little pitufo sandwiches with fresh tomato spread and serrano.

On to the next Picasso spot, the "Casa Natal" Pablo Picasso, where he was born in 1881 at number 15 Plaza de la Merced.

On the other side of of the street we visited the temporary exhibition hall, where the exhibition 'Las edades de Pablo' (The Ages of Pablo), as part of the commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the death of the Malaga-born artist in 1973. The new exhibition had opened the day before, so we were lucky and altogether we got a good portion of Picasso this week.

Picasso break with a cold drink under the palm trees in Paseo del Parque and home on the bike.

Dinner at Restaurante Gabi; berenjenas fritas con miel de caña, espetos de sardinas y paella arroz negro.
