The adventure begins at the majestic Roman Theatre, the most important vestige of the ancient city of ‘Malacca’. Built in the 1st century, this theatre, which was hidden underground for centuries, is a living testimony of the Roman era and its influence in the region. Through the explanations of our guide, you will understand how this space was used as a meeting, entertainment and cultural centre by the ancient inhabitants of the city.
From here, the route continues to the Alcazaba, an imposing fortress of Muslim origin that dominates the cityscape. This monument, which combines defensive and residential elements, is an exceptional example of Andalusian art and architecture. We will stroll through its courtyards, walls and towers, exploring the details that make this place a symbol of Malaga's glorious past.
We will continue to the Plaza de la Merced, a vibrant space full of history, known for being the birthplace of Pablo Picasso. Here, the guide will tell us more about the artist's life and the importance of his legacy to the city. From this emblematic square, we will move on to the Bodega Bar ‘El Pimpi’, a place steeped in tradition and considered a meeting point for locals and visitors alike.

Although we will not enter the museum, its exterior gives us a glimpse of Malaga's connection with art and the figure of Picasso.
Next, we will visit the Iglesia del Sagrario, a beautiful example of Gothic architecture that takes us back to medieval Malaga. This temple, built on the site of the old Aljama Mosque, is a clear example of how cultures have left their mark on the city.
The tour culminates in the Plaza del Obispo, where the Catedral de la Encarnación, affectionately known as ‘La Manquita’, awaits us.
