Highlights
If walls could talk, Malaga’s historical city centre would tell an epic tale of transformation. On this walking tour, you’ll decode the buildings in one of Spain’s oldest cities, learning about its origins as a Phoenician trading post, an Islamic stronghold and, finally, a modern Mediterranean destination. This self-guided walking tour starts in front of Monumento al Marqués de Larios, the statue commemorating the industrialist who contributed to the city’s development in the 1800s. From there, you’ll stroll along Muelle Uno (the revitalised waterfront promenade) before making your way into the historical centre. As you walk, Manuel, an architect specialising in Andalusian historical architecture and urbanism, will share the stories behind the landmarks.

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).
