Greetings. My name is Roland. Malaga has become in the last 10 years one of the most popular and exciting destinations in Southern Europe, rich in history, culture, traditions and gastronomy. As your licensed and qualified guide, I will uncover all the hidden gems as you stroll through the most emblematic corners of Malaga. We will visit the former Jewish quarter, the antique Muslim Medina, the modern Boulevard or even the local indoor market. You will come to understand in depth why Malaga has been a neuralgic center and so coveted during the Roman and Muslim times. You will have a lot of fun, while learning a lot of history in an easy, comfortable and agile way.
This will be our first stop. During the muslim period it was the Main Mosque in Malaga until 1487, the day of the reconquest. Finally in 1528, the council decided to built a new Cathedral in a main renaissance style, however we can find more styles like late gothic styles, early baroque styles etc. Today, after 255 years of construction the Cathedral remains unfinished, adopting the nick name of La Manquita (The little one-armed Lady).
One of the most attractive and best preserved fortress in Malaga, dating back to the 11th Century, however some parts belong to the 9th and 13th Century. Alcazaba means Citadel
Here we will get closer to the origin of Pablo Picasso. Today it's the Foundation Picasso Museo Casa Natal, but in 1881 it was the place where Pablo was born and started his first steps to become a world wide known artist - PICASSO.
You will make your own way to the meeting points
