The adventure begins in front of the Roman Theatre, at the iconic glass pyramid, a meeting point that evokes centuries of history beneath its foundations. From here, we will head to the emblematic Plaza de la Merced, a place full of meaning. This square, known for being the birthplace of Pablo Picasso, is also a space steeped in history and memory. There, the obelisk dedicated to Torrijos invites us to explore the events that marked the city's past. Our guide will reveal why the top of the obelisk seems to be turned upside down, a detail that does not go unnoticed.
We will continue our route along Calle Granada, where we will come across the church of Santiago, an architectural jewel in the Gothic-Mudejar style. This historic church is also the place where Picasso was baptised in 1881, which adds a deeply personal touch to our tour. The narrow, picturesque streets of Malaga's historic centre will lead us to one of the city's greatest treasures: the Cathedral of the Incarnation. Popularly known as ‘la manquita’ due to its unfinished tower, the cathedral is a majestic example of Renaissance architecture. A visit to its interior reveals a space of breathtaking beauty, where art, light and history intertwine to create an unforgettable experience.
On our way, we will also discover the Plaza de la Constitución, a place that has been the epicentre of Malaga's social and cultural life for centuries. Its historic buildings and vibrant atmosphere take us back in time as we make our way to Calle Larios, one of the city's main thoroughfares, famous for its elegance and for being a landmark for locals and visitors alike.
Our route includes a stop at the Pasaje de Chinitas, a corner full of charm and tradition that connects us with the most authentic Malaga, before arriving at the Plaza del Obispo.
