Itinerary

The Plaza del Siglo

The Picasso Museum

If you are closely 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 showing you the one dedicated to him is just unthinkable.

San Augustin Church

Just on your left, located on a street where the structure of Malaga is still very much felt, the 16th-century San Agustín Church 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.

Santa Ana Abbey

The Roman theater in Malaga

Discovered by chance in 1951, during the construction of the former House of Culture, the Roman Theater of Malaga is one of the most fascinating archaeological treasures in the city. Remaining buried for centuries under successive constructions, it has reemerged as a precious witness to the city's Roman past.

The Alcazaba viewpoint

The Alcazaba

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

Malaga City Hall

The gardens of Pedro Luis Alonso

The bullring of Malagueta

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”.

Muelle Uno

The chapel in the port of Malaga

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

Malagueta beach

The Paseo del Parque promenade

Whether you're visiting it for the first time or walking through it daily, Paseo del Parque exudes a certain charm in its own right. Moreover, during your first walk in Malaga, discovering the city, it is very possible that you will land on the Paseo del Parque.

The Street Light of Malaga

There, just crossing the pedestrian crossing, take a quick look to your left. A small icon of the Costa del Sol, the Farola, which means lantern or lamp post in Spanish, is a recurring element of Malagasy iconography.

The Cathedral of Santa Maria of the Incarnation

In addition to being a major place of worship for the people of Malaga, the Cathedral of Santa María de la Encarnación is also an essential landmark to find your way around the city. Built between 1528 and 1782 on the site of an ancient mosque, it is now the tallest cathedral in Andalusia.

Malaga in 3 facts

While traveling, you have plenty of time to enrich your general knowledge. During a typical dish, a language exchange or a tourist visit. That is to say if the choice is not vast.

Soho district

La rue Marqués de Larios

Going to Malaga and not walking down Marqués de Larios Street is a bit like going to New York and not walking down Fifth Avenue. Do you get the idea?

Constitution Square

You are now in the Plaza de la Constitución, the real beating heart of Malaga since Islamic times. Located in the center of the historic district, this lively square seduces visitors with its friendly and bright atmosphere.

The Chinitas Passage

The Bishop's Square

The Plaza del Obispo literally “Bishop's Square” is one of the monumental jewels of the historic center of Malaga. Its exact origin is still subject to debate: some evoke an ancient settlement, others lean towards a creation in the Muslim era.

The Atarazanas Central Market

However, located in the heart of Malaga, this small wonder of large-scale animation is very often considered absent on the tourist routes. Luckily, this is not the case with ours in which it is honored!

San Juan Church

At the end of a most bloody battle in the 15th century, Malaga, under the domination of the very last Muslim dynasty, known as the “Nasrid”, fell into the hands of the Catholic Monarchs.
