Malaga has traditionally been known for its sunny weather and inviting beaches, but we believe there's so much more to explore.
Malaga, with its roots tracing back to the Phoenicians and later shaped by the Romans and Moors, has a rich history marked by various invasions and foreign influences. The scattered castles bear witness to the territorial struggles faced by different civilizations in this region. During the Moorish era, Malaga thrived as a crucial harbor in the Andalusian empire. Despite losing its prominence to cities like Granada under Catholic rule, Malaga continues to carry a strong sense of pride and tradition seen in its people and customs.
During our guided tour of Malaga, we will pass by an unmissable spot, the lively promenade, perfect for a pleasant stroll with plenty of activity, shopping, and street performers. You'll have the opportunity to see the Alcazaba, a Moorish construction from the 11th century serving both as a palace and fortress. The Cathedral, commissioned by the Catholic Monarchs on the site of an existing mosque, is another notable landmark. Art enthusiasts shouldn't miss the Picasso Museum, which showcases the works of the famous artist who spent his early years in Malaga.
