We start the tour from Plaza de la Marina Málaga, where we give a short introduction about the city and the modern part, so we start a panoramic tour with several stops on the Costa del Sol: Mijas and Benalmádena.
10 minutes
Parque de Malaga
The Parque de Málaga , is a park located in the center of the Andalusian city of Málaga, Spain. The design corresponds to a Mediterranean garden with numerous tropical and subtropical species, which make it one of the most important public parks in Europe in terms of exotic flora.1 In this promenade with gardens on both sides, of a Renaissance character and baroque, there are botanical species from the five continents. It was carried out at the end of the 19th century on land reclaimed from the sea, for the expansion of the port in an expensive operation.
10 minutes
Mercado Central de Atarazanas
The Mercado de Atarazanas is one of the buildings which best represent the architecture of the nineteenth century in Malaga. It's one of the most important shopping centres in the city where every day the people of Malaga come to buy fresh produce, one of the hallmarks of this market. Many of the visitors come for the tapas and fresh “pescaíto" (typical small fried fish) in the bars in the market, or just to stroll through this building which has been able to preserve its traditional essence.
20 minutes
Mijas
Then we take the car to the Mediterranean highway, to explain part of the province of Malaga and its nearby coastal towns. So we will have one stop in Mijas, which is about 400 meters from sea level, where we will have one of the most wonderful views of the Mediterranean, so you can also do the donkey tour (not included, is optional) and walk a little in its streets.
45 minutes
Stupa of Enlightenment Benalmadena
We will stop at this beautiful Stupa of Enlightenment, a living monument to the enlightened mind, a Buddhist monument for peace, prosperity and harmony in the world, and an ideal place for learning, reflection and meditation. Nice place to take photos with very nice views of Fuengirola and the sea

15 minutes
Alcazaba
The Alcazaba is a palatial fortification in Málaga, Spain. It was built by the Hammudid dynasty in the early 11th century. It is the best-preserved alcazaba (from the Arabic al-qasbah, meaning "citadel") in Spain. Adjacent to the entrance of the Alcazaba are remnants of a Roman theatre dating to the 1st century BC, which are undergoing restoration. Some of the Roman-era materials were reused in the Moorish construction of the Alcazaba. Ferdinand and Isabella captured Málaga from the Moors after the Siege of Málaga (1487), one of the longest sieges in the Reconquista, and raised their standard at the "Torre del Homenaje" in the inner citadel.

Teatro Romano de Malaga
The Roman theater in Malaga are the archaeological remains of the ancient Malacca theater and the main preserved vestige of the Roman presence in Malaga. It is located in the historic center of the city, at the foot of the Alcazaba hill. Work of the first years of the Empire, its design corresponds to a mixed construction that combines the use of the hillside for the bleachers - in the manner of Greek theaters - with an important construction where the rock is non-existent, creating the necessary space for the stands.
10 minutes
Malaga Cathedral
The Cathedral of Málaga is a Roman Catholic church in the city of Málaga in Andalusia in southern Spain. It is in the Renaissance architectural tradition. The cathedral is located within the limits defined by a now missing portion of the medieval Moorish walls, the remains of which surround the nearby Alcazaba and the Castle of Gibralfaro. It was constructed between 1528 and 1782, following the plans drawn by Diego de Siloe; its interior is also in Renaissance style.
