Hoogtepunten

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 is een zonnige Andalusische havenstad aan de Costa del Sol, de geboortestad van Picasso, met een Moors fort, stadsstranden en veel musea.

De Alcazaba, een Moors fort-paleis, klimt tegen de heuvel boven de oude stad op, met het kasteel Gibralfaro nog hoger en uitzicht over de haven en de baai. Aan de voet liggen het Romeinse Theater en de kathedraal, bijgenaamd La Manquita, de eenarmige dame, omdat haar tweede toren nooit is afgebouwd.

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