Destacados

Málaga has seen firsthand the dramatic upheaval that’s shaped Spain over the past 200 years. Once an industrial port, the city has blossomed into a modern cultural destination. On this walking tour, you’ll hear how three powerful industrialist families built their fortunes during the 1800s, only to see their empires crumble amid social and economic turmoil. Starting on Paseo del Muelle Uno at the revamped cruise port, you’ll trace the rise and fall of the three dynasties who turned Málaga into Spain’s second-most important industrial centre. You’ll stroll along the elegant streets they financed and learn how riots, revolution, civil war and dictatorship transformed this Andalusian city. You’ll hear how ordinary Malagueños coped with economic collapse, brutal warfare, and Franco’s repression. The tour ends at Santa Iglesia Catedral Basílica de la Encarnación de Málaga. You’ll learn how the impressive cathedral took 250 years to build, but only has one tower.

About Málaga

Málaga, puerto andaluz de la Costa del Sol y cuna de Picasso: fortaleza árabe, playas urbanas y una floreciente escena museística.

La Alcazaba, una fortaleza-palacio árabe, sube por la colina sobre el casco antiguo, con el castillo de Gibralfaro aún más arriba y vistas sobre el puerto y la bahía. A sus pies están el Teatro Romano y la catedral, apodada La Manquita, la señora manca, porque su segunda torre nunca se terminó.

Top-ranked sights in Málaga: Malaga Alcazaba, Malaga Cathedral (Cathedral de la Encarnación), Constitution Square (Plaza de la Constitucion).
