Overview

You will be met at the port by a Venture Ashore representative who will guide you to your air-conditioned transportation ready to commence your tour.

Bustling Malaga is more than the administrative capital of the region. With its ancient monuments and impressive architecture, it's a city of major historic importance. Whilst, as the birthplace to Pablo Picasso, it's home to the greatest artist of the 20th century.

Your tour of Malaga begins in port, where your driver/guide will welcome you to your panoramic bus tour. The route through the city will allow you to see many of Malaga's important buildings, from the Bank of Spain and City Council, to General Torrijo's Square, the Noble Hospital, and the Tres Gracias (Three Graces) Fountain.

Your first destination is the spectacular Castillo de Gibralfaro, the 14th-century castle that stands proud above the city. Here, you can take a short stroll around this fascinating ancient monument and popular tourist destination.

You will journey by bus back into central Malaga and begin your walking tour of the heart of the city at Merced Square, where Picasso lived as a child, and at the nearby Santiago church, where the artist was baptized as Pablo Diego Jose Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno Mar­a de los Remedios Cipriano de la SantÃsima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso!

Malaga Cathedral, the ancient Arab fortress, and the shops of Larios Street are the other attractions on your tour, before you leave central Malaga behind, as you return to your ship.
