Malaga private walking tour - Itinerary

Discover first the archeological site (the Roman theater ordered to be built by the emperor Julius Cesar August, the Alcazaba with 2 Arab palaces inside and Gibralfaro castle). Even if we won´t climb Gibralfaro hill, let's see and talk about this castle from where it was possible to control and keep an eye on the whole city of Malaga. Then stroll along Alcazabilla Street, while listening to stories, legends and important facts about the town from the hand of your local guide until reaching the birthplace of Pablo Ruiz Picasso . Be able to discover his playground, the church in where he was baptized and Picasso’s museum that contains a part of his large artwork. Enjoy also the sights of the Cathedral and learn about its construction and its main artistic heritage. Let’s finish the tour passing by Constitution square and Larios Street, at the same time that your local guide explains you everything about this commercial Street and the importance of Marquis of Larios in the Malaga contemporary history.

At the end of the visit, if you wish, you will go back to the starting point.
