Malaga, Alcazaba Moorish Fort, Roman Ruins
Start your tour by meeting your tour guide and accessible van or coach at the cruise dock. From here, you will set out on a short drive to the city center. Upon arrival, you will head out on a slow-paced, leisurely stroll through the beautiful city center. Your tour guide will narrate you through different sites, as you admire the impressive exterior of the Alcazaba Moorish fort, ancient Roman ruins, and the famous El Pimpi Bodega.
Cathedral
Next, your tour continues with an interior visit to the glorious Malaga Cathedral. The Cathedral is an impressive example of Renaissance and Baroque style architecture and was built between 1528 and 1782. An interesting fact about the Cathedral is that due to lack of funds to finish completing the planned two towers, the structure only has one tower. It's called "La Manquita" which means the one-armed woman. During your visit inside the Cathedral, admire the beautiful, detailed work which includes exquisite choir stalls with extravagant carvings and the two rare and beautiful organs with more than 4,000 pipes.
Plaza de la Constitucion, free time
On the final part of your tour, you will stroll along the pedestrianized shopping street Calle Marques de Larios, before continuing to the stunning and Plaza de la Constitucion for some leisurely time on your own.
