Itinerary

• (Pass by)

  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

• Museo Picasso Malaga (Pass by)

  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.

• (Pass by)

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

• Alcazaba (Pass by)

  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.

• Ayuntamiento de Malaga (Pass by)

  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

  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.

• Plaza de toros de La Malagueta (Pass by)

  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”.

• (Pass by)

  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.

  Admission ticket free
• Port of Málaga (Pass by)

  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

  Admission ticket free
• Playa de la Malagueta (Málaga) (Pass by)

  A trip to Malaga would be nothing without taking the time to bathe in one of its pearls in turquoise water. We are of course talking about Malagueta beach. Due to its proximity to the centre of Malaga, Malagueta is one of the most popular beaches for tourists and residents.

  Admission ticket free
• Paseo del Parque (Pass by)

  Whether you’re visiting it for the first time or on a daily basis, Paseo del Parque has a certain charm in its own right. In fact, during your first walk in Malaga, discovering the city, it is quite possible that you will land on Paseo del Parque.

• (Pass by)

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

  Admission ticket free
• Santa Iglesia Catedral Basílica de la Encarnación de Málaga (Pass by)

  In addition to being a major place of worship for Malaguenians, the Cathedral of Santa María de la Encarnación is also a must-see landmark for navigating the city. Built between 1528 and 1782 on the site of an ancient mosque, it is today the highest cathedral in Andalusia

• Malaga (Pass by)

  While travelling, you have plenty of time to enrich your general culture. At the turn of a typical dish, a linguistic exchange or a tourist visit. That is, if the choice is not vast.

• (Pass by)

  Home to local underground culture and urban art, the Soho district, here on your left, marked by Calle Córdoba, is the result of a citizens’ initiative to renew the area.

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

• Plaza de la Constitucion (Pass by)

  Now you are in Plaza de la Constitución, the 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.

  Admission ticket free
• (Pass by)

  Located on the grounds formerly occupied by a 17th century convent (of which only a portico remains today visible from the Plaza de la Constitución side), the Chinitas Passage is an emblematic place in the historic centre of Malaga.

  Admission ticket free
• Plaza del Obispo (Pass by)

  Plaza del Obispo, literally “Bishop’s Square”, is one of the monumental jewels of the historic centre of Malaga. Its exact origin remains open to debate: some evoke an ancient settlement, others lean towards a creation in Muslim times.

• (Pass by)

  Yet located in the heart of Malaga, this small wonder of large-scale animation is very often counted absent on the visit routes. Luckily, this is not the case with ours in which it is put in the spotlight!

• (Pass by)

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