This comprehensive three-hour guided tour takes you through Malaga's rich history and vibrant Mediterranean charm. Your official guide will lead you through the city's most iconic monuments, including the ancient Roman Theatre, the majestic Alcazaba fortress—often described as a miniature Alhambra—and the grand Cathedral, affectionately known by locals as 'La Manquita' (The One-Armed Lady) due to its unfinished second tower.

As one of the most prominent cities of the ancient Nasrid Kingdom, Malaga served as a key historical port. From the strategic heights of the Alcazaba, you'll enjoy stunning panoramic views of the entire city and coastline.

De gids was enthousiast, kon veel vertellen over alles en was zeker de moeite waard om zo wat meer te weten te komen over de stad en zijn oorsprong.

Lourdes bleek een gids met heel veel kennis van de geschiedenis van de plaatsen. Voor Alcabaza hadden we liever iets meer tijd uitgetrokken, is een fantastische plaats met heel veel mooie beelden.
