In the centre of a roundabout near the Tourist Information Centre on Bajondillo Beach is this sculpture, a reproduction in three dimensions of Picasso’s painting Two Dancing Ladies. We stopped to admire and photograph it on our first morning in the town, and only later did we start to realise that it appears to be the custom here to make all the roundabouts decorative with sculptures, interesting planting or similar. En route to Mijas on the Sunday we saw one with standing stones, another with a beautiful copper dome in its centre, some planted with palm trees, one with a Japanese style garden, another with a modern steel sculpture and several more. All were nicely done and very well-maintained, and they added a lot to the interest of our journey through the outlying “suburbs” of the town.
