What to do and see in Malaga, Andalucia: The Best Archaeology Tours

February 2, 2022 Harland Bartelt

Malaga is one of the oldest cities in the world, founded in the 8th century by the Phoenicians. Today, art is everywhere-- you can experience exhibits dedicated to glass and crystal, classic cars, contemporary installations, and, of course, the works of Picasso, who was born here. Wander past banana trees and beautiful fountains as you walk through Paseo del Parque, then hit the old city to quench your thirst at a Spanish tavern.

Its a fascinating place with a very interesting history. I'd highly recommend a visit here - there is lots to do and see from a visit to the upper Rock and the monkeys, to a bit of shopping, a nice meal in the square or a visit to the new 'Ocean Quarter' with its port and lovely bars.

Maria is my absolute favourite person in Malaga! Really enjoyable day with her learning about the towns history. She was a fountain of information, humoured me with English as my Spanish is still very poor. Highly recommend this walking tour to anyone visiting.

Surely the most representative monument of the city. To penetrate this Arab palace, is to penetrate the heart of Malaga, it is impossible to understand Malaga's history without visiting it. Witness the invincible power of the Alcazaba! Extensive views of the sea, beautiful details of Muslim architecture, relaxing fountains and gardens…. There are many things to discover that will leave you breathless. Visit the Alcazaba of Malaga while our guides explain how the Muslims lived, how the palace worked and some of the hidden legends of this ancient place. In addition, the visit can be made in other languages (German, French and Italian), checking the availability of the day in advance.

Inclusions: Guided visit

Exclusions: Entrance to the Alcazaba (€ 3.50)

I arrived exactly at 12 at the meeting point. The mail said that we could see the guide in a red shirt. There was nobody.. we were all waiting for the guide to come. They never showed up.. and no one picked up the phone when I called the number which was written in the email.

Adriano was a wonderful guide. We had 3 stops. The first one was a small restaurant where we had sangria and sampled several local dishes. One was a potato and egg "omelet ". It was more like a quiche. Either way delicious. We sampled Iberico de Ballota, a Spanish ham. There was also bread and cheese. All fabulous. Our next stop was to a sidewalk cafe where we had the local version of Paella. We drank a lovely red wine. They served bread, a chicken dish and potatoes. All were wonderful Our last stop was to a restaurant that years ago was a Flamenco and artist hall. There was beautiful art work there. We sampled several types of fried fish. The sardines and calamari were perfectly done. We had Boquerones in vinegar and fried. Amazing flavors! There was bread and, of course wine. This time white wine. Adriano had a great grasp on the history of Malaga. He educated us as we walked through bother new and old Malaga. This is a very worthwhile tour.

5. Malaga at dusk

Plaza de la Marina, Málaga, Spain Pancho Tours

The sunset gives the city a magical character, transforming its monuments and streets into a beautiful illuminated event. An ideal opportunity to walk along Calle Larios, as well as our Cathedral, "the little man", imposing before dusk. We will not leave Alcazabilla Street behind, where the Roman Theater and the Alcazaba unite in this space two civilizations that enriched Malaga and that at night show a very different aspect to the daytime. We will continue in the Plaza de la Merced, where the home of Malaga-born painter Pablo Picasso is located, to finish on a terrace tasting a typical wine with fabulous views. It is recommended to always book in advance to ensure good service and availability.

Inclusions: Official Guide in English or Spanish, Two hours of Tour
