Malaga Shore Excursion - Malaga Highlights with Wine and Tapas

Malaga Shore Excursion - This shore trip provides the visitor with Malaga's Highlights and then ends with visits to two taverns to enjoy Spanish Wine and Tapas.

Malaga is located on Spain's Costa del Sol, or coast of the sun. Many people visit here just to lie on the beach or enjoy the nightlife. The city was a Roman settlement which was later occupied by Arabs before they were expelled by the Spanish Catholics. It became a major port in the early days of the New World.

After meeting your private guide you start with a panoramic driving tour to see the city park of Malaga with its Customs building, the Small house of the Gardener, the bank of Spain and the City council. At General Torrijos Square you see the Noble Hospital and the Tres Gracias Fountain. Other sights include the Malagueta bull ring, the Justice Palace and the English cemetery.

Next you visit the Gibralfaro Castle which sits on the highest hill in the city and is connected to the Alcazaba Palace Fortress. Together this complex of buildings is the best preserved Arab monument in the city.

After visiting the castle you drive into Malaga's city center where you enjoy a walking tour of the historical old town. During your tour you will see the birth home of Picasso and the church where he was baptized, Santiago's Church, which is one of the oldest in the city. You will learn about General Torrijois at the monolith built in his honor.

Following your old town walking tour you will go to Larios Street which is lined with typical taverns serving Spanish Tapas. You will enjoy short visits to two different taverns to enjoy Spanish Wine and Tapas (Spanish appetizers). A great end to your time in Malaga.
