We’ll get started with a brief introduction of the tour! Our licensed tour guide will give you a short summary about what it’s included and timing.

First, we’ll head to the monumental area, located in the Historical Center of Malaga. On the way to the Cathedral, your local guide will explain all anecdotes and history behind the main street “calle Larios” and Plaza de la Constitución. After that, you will arrive to the Bishop’s Square, an impressive square where to admire the beauty of this Baroque façade. After that we’ll head to the main entrance of Malaga’s Cathedral. Skip the line and have a sit, time for explanations in depth about its construction and history. You will be amazed to discover the links between this building and the independence of the USA.

After this history and culture immersion, next stop: the Moorish Fortress Alcazaba, an astonishing Fortress 1000 years old. We will get lost wandering thru its old paths and historical rooms, including the beautiful courtyards. From here we can enjoy some of the best views of Malaga, since the fortress is on top of the hill.

Following this fortress and on our way down to the Historical Center we will visit the 2000 years old Roman Theater of Malaga, to get a real feeling of the Roman Empire like Julius Caesar.

At the end of the tour, with your appetite of history and culture completely fulfilled, you’ll have done much more than seen old stones, you’ll understand Malaga from a wider perspective, and we bet it will have found a place in your heart ❤️
