Free Tour of Málaga's Historic Center

Discover Málaga on foot with an unmissable free tour of its historic center, where past and present intertwine amid streets brimming with life, art, and legends.

We’ll meet the figures who shaped the city’s history: Pablo Picasso, a universal genius born in Málaga, whose childhood and surroundings will help you better understand his work and character, and José María Torrijos, a symbol of the struggle for freedom and the protagonist of one of the most moving episodes in 19th-century Málaga.

We’ll stroll past the most iconic monuments of the Old Town: the Alcazaba complex and the Roman Theater, where two thousand years of history coexist in a single space, and lively squares like the Plaza de la Merced, the cultural heart of the city. We’ll discuss Phoenician, Roman, and Muslim Málaga, its evolution into the open and vibrant city it is today, and interesting facts and anecdotes that usually go unnoticed.

At several stops, you’ll also put on our virtual reality goggles to see what Málaga was like in the past.

Duration: 90 minutes, in Spanish and English, with an official tour guide. Meeting point: Tourist Information Office in Plaza de la Marina.
