Transportation
Overview
This is the ideal tour for first-time visitors and for those with limited time to explore Malaga. You will visit the main attractions and learn about the history of this ancient city. And of course, there's no better way to delve into a new culture than by tasting the local cuisine - world-famous tapas, traditionally served with beer or wine.
Meet your guide at the exit of Cruise Ship Port of Malaga or in the lobby of your centrally located hotel in Malaga.
The tour route will depend on where you meet with the guide.
You will wander around the central area of Malaga and pass by the historical monuments including the Cathedral, Gibralfaro Castle Roman Amphitheatre, Alcazaba, the Picasso Museum, and his place of Birth and many other main sights.
During the tour, you will have time to enjoy traditional Spanish tapas and some Spanish wine in the city center.
At the end of the tour you and your guide will return to the place where the tour starts or to another place that you need.
The ruins of the Gibralfaro castle lie on the slopes of the Malaga hill overlooking the city and the Mediterranean Sea. A Moorish castle of an unknown origin, Yusuf I of the Kingdom of Granada built it during the Phoenician-Punic period. The name of castle is derived from the Arab word Yabal (hill) and another Greek word Faruh (lighthouse). The name Gibralfaro means lighthouse hill.
15 minutes
Alcazaba
King Badis of the Zirid Dynasty built the Alcazaba Fortress in 1040 to protect the royal family from outside invaders. Situated on the highest point of the hill, it's one of the best-preserved Alcazaba (from the Arabic word al-qasbah which literally translates to the English word citadel), in Spain. The Moorish Muslim rulers that erected the fortress used the remains (visible in its columns and pillars) of a Roman theatre lying adjacent to the Moorish construction.
15 minutes
Museo Picasso Malaga
The Museo Picasso Málaga is a museum in Málaga, Andalusia, Spain, the city where artist Pablo Ruiz Picasso was born. It opened in 2003 in the Buenavista Palace and has 285 works donated by members of Picasso's family. In 2009, the Fundación Paul, Christine y Bernard Ruiz-Picasso that owned the collection merged with the Fundación Museo Picasso Málaga that operated the museum, which is based in the home on Málaga's Plaza de la Merced that was Picasso's birthplace, and is now the Museo Casa Natal ("Birthplace Museum"). The new merged foundation is the "Fundación Museo Picasso Málaga. Legado Paul, Christine y Bernard Ruiz-Picasso" ("Museo Picasso Málaga Foundation. The Paul, Christine and Bernard Ruiz Picasso Legacy").

15 minutes
Iglesia de San Juan Bautista
This parish church presides over one of the four parishes established in Málaga after the defeat of the Moors in 1487. Two fraternities that go on procession on Holy Week have chapels within the building. The fraternity of sorrows of San Juan occupies the sacramental chapel and a chapel in the right aisle and the Fused brotherhood occupies four chapels, three in the left aisle and one at the foot of the right aisle. The church was constructed combining Gothic and Mujedar architectural styles with Moorish arches and pillars. A tower was completed in 1543. The 1680 earthquake damaged the structure including the tower. A baroque style tower porch leading to the building was erected at the entrance of the church in 1770 and reconstruction of the church was completed in 1780. The tower porch has a rectangular shape with an elliptical dome. The chapels and altarpiece of the church are richly carved. There is a splendid 17th-century statue of San Juan by the artist, Franciso Ortiz.

15 minutes
Teatro Romano de Malaga
El Teatro Romano is the oldest monument in Málaga City; it is situated in the cultural heart of Málaga city, at the foot of the famous Alcazaba fortress.

The site is accompanied by the Centro de Interpretación (visitors center) which teaches visitors about the history of the ruins and its subsequent excavation.
15 minutes
Mercado Central de Atarazanas
Mercado de Atarazanas is a municipal market declared of Cultural Interest in 1979. The current building, designed by architect JoaquÃn de Rucoba, was built between 1876 and 1879 on the site of a former naval workshop. At the present moment, the market is the best place in the city to get fresh veggies and fruits at the best price. There are also stalls with meat, fish and of course, olives. Be sure to be there early in the morning, because the market closes at about 3 pm.
15 minutes
Plaza de toros de La Malagueta
The public bullring of Malaga, the Plaza de la Toros de Malagueta, has hosted some of the finest bullfights in the country and many prominent Matadors have displayed their talents here. It was declared a historic artistic monument in 1976 when the centenary celebrations of the bullring were held. The Plaza de Toroz de la Malagueta was built in 1874 by Joaquin Rocoba. The inauguration of the bullring took place in 1876. The area has a Neo Mujedar style built in the shape of a hexadecagon or a polygon with 16 sides. Its diameter is 52 meters. The venue underwent extensive repairs in 2010 and now has a seating capacity of 14,000. Other facilities include 10 pens, stables, a corral to try horses and a nursing home.
15 minutes
Plaza de la Merced
Plaza Merced (Plaza de la Merced) is a public square located in the barrio La Merced in central Málaga, Spain. The plaza has been a part of the city since the city of Málaga's Roman era and has been operating as a town market place since at least the fifteenth century. It is one of the largest public squares in Málaga’s city center and is also known for containing Pablo Picasso's childhood home.
15 minutes
Plaza de la Marina
Plaza y Acera de La Marina is surrounded by many elegant buildings; though these are modern ones, they just blend in with the historical center's monumental character quite well. The square was projected in the mid-nineteenth century, when a section of the Moorish walls was removed, thus giving the green light to start working on the square. Today, one will find the spot quite modern, due to various renovations, but the fountain and the palm trees surrounding it will provide one with an unforgettable atmosphere. In the Plaza there is also the statue of cenachero or zenachero. The cenachero is a popular symbol of the city of Malaga. In 1968, the Malaga-born artist Jaime Fernández Pimentel immortalized in this very statue the picturesque character inspired by a real fisherman named Manolo "El Petaca". Under the sculpture, there is a memorial plaque containing verses dedicated to the figure of cenachero by poet Salvador Rueda.
