Itinerary

1. Plaza del Siglo is a small crossing point on your route, which can be translated as “Square of the Century” and is one of the most crossed squares in Malaga. Yes, there are many important squares in the city, but this is what makes all its charm and brings its touch of conviviality. The place is at the intersection of many busy streets

2. If you are interested in the artist, you should know that it was in the city of Malaga that he was born. Known for being one of the founding fathers of Cubism, and if the city has no less than 30 museums with various themes, not presenting the one dedicated to it is just unthinkable.

   Passes by

3. Just on your left, located on a street where the Malaguan structure is still well felt, the 16th century church of San Agustín fits perfectly into the setting. Very colorful and pleasantly preceded by a bright outdoor courtyard, the small building contains a school and a residence for ecclesiastical staff.

   Passes by

4. You may have heard it called the “Cistercian Abbey”, but here in Malaga, we speak rather fondly of the Abbey of Santa Ana, a little jewel nestled in the heart of the city. No need for gilding or vertiginous arrows: its simplicity, its light, its fair measure... are enough to capture the eye.

   Passes by

5. Discovered by chance in 1951, during construction work on the former House of Culture, the Roman Theatre of Malaga is among the most fascinating archaeological treasures of the city. Remaining buried for centuries under successive constructions, it resurfaced as a valuable witness to the Roman past of the city.

   Passes by

6. There’s nothing to say, Malaga is a city full of surprises. Among them is the Alcazaba watchtower, which you can see a few meters away, just on your right. It is a large fortress, very well preserved, and one of the most imposing and precious in Spain.

   Passes by

7. It’s hard to imagine a better gateway in Malaga’s history than this majestic Alcazaba, one of the city’s most iconic gems. Built between 1057 and 1063 on the ruins of an ancient Roman fortification, this citadel (that is the meaning of the word alcazaba, of Arabic origin) was both a princely residence and a military bastion.

   Passes by

8. A building as majestic as this was needed to house the Malaga City Inn. Inaugurated in 1919, this imposing town hall sits proudly at the entrance to the park, a stone’s throw from the historic centre. It was built on old land gained on the sea, in an area thought at the beginning of the 20th century

   Passes by

9. Greenery, still greenery, and still greenery. Pedro Luis Alonso’s gardens are designed according to the models of the Latin gardens and were built in 1947. As a result, they blend harmoniously with the urban and historical environment in which they operate.

   Passes by

10. Located in the area that gave them their name, the Malagueta bullring was inaugurated on June 11, 1876, via a very first bullfight led by the mythical matador Rafael Molina, nicknamed “Lagartijo”.

    Passes by

11. We don’t always imagine a port as a walking destination, let alone a vibrant place of culture and gastronomy. And yet, in Malaga, the Muelle Uno is challenging conventional wisdom. Inaugurated in 2011 on the remains of a former wharf, this reinvented port is now one of the trendiest places in the city.

    Passes by

12. With lines much older than those of the Muelle Uno on which it is located, the chapel of the port of Malaga becomes almost a strange curiosity on our way. Completed in 1732, this tiny place of worship was once mainly frequented by people from the marine environment, thanks to its strategic position not far from the sea

About Malaga

Málaga is a sunny Andalusian port on the Costa del Sol, the birthplace of Picasso, with a Moorish fortress, city beaches and a thriving museum scene.

The Alcazaba, a Moorish fortress-palace, climbs the hill above the old town, with Gibralfaro Castle higher still and views over the port and bay. At its foot lie the Roman Theatre and the cathedral, nicknamed La Manquita, the one-armed lady, because its second tower was never finished.

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