MALAGA MUST SEE TOUR – 9K

We’ll begin our route at Plaza de la Marina, next to the statue of El Cenachero, one of the city’s most iconic symbols. Right at the start, we’ll hit our first highlight: Calle Larios, the most famous street in Málaga and also one of the most expensive in all of Spain. In the early morning, it’s an absolute delight to run through this street, as it’s still practically empty—a stark contrast to just a few hours later! At the end of Calle Larios, we’ll cross Plaza de la Constitución, the most central and one of the most beautiful squares in the city. We’ll continue toward the Atarazanas Central Market, where you’ll find all kinds of fruits, vegetables, and fish in a truly authentic and vibrant Málaga atmosphere. Before reaching the stately building of the Teatro Cervantes—the venue for the city’s most important musicals and classical concerts—we’ll pass by the Thyssen Museum, inaugurated in 2011, and its surroundings, which have been completely renovated over the past 15 years. Almost next to the Teatro Cervantes, we’ll come across the birthplace of one of the most famous painters in the world, Pablo Picasso, born in 1881 and undoubtedly the city’s most illustrious son.

Once we cross Plaza de la Merced, we face the steepest incline of the route—but don’t worry, it’s only steep, not long—and it’s followed by a pleasant downhill stretch alongside the Alcazaba, an 11th-century Islamic fortress. This descent brings us right in front of the Roman Theatre, the main preserved remnant of Roman presence in Málaga. Next, it’s time to head into what is perhaps the most beautiful street in the city: Calle San Agustín. Among other highlights, it houses the Picasso Museum in a 15th-century Renaissance building, the convent that shares the street’s name, and offers views of another star monument: the Cathedral of Málaga. Due to its size and beauty, the cathedral is truly awe-inspiring. From the lovely Plaza del Obispo, we’ll be able to admire it in all its glory.

Before continuing our run toward the La Malagueta neighborhood and its lively beaches, we’ll pass by the Palacio de la Aduana, which today is the Museum of Málaga—the largest museum in the city. To complete our tour of the old town, there’s just one more sight: the City Hall, a beautiful 15th-century building where major municipal decisions are made. We’ll then continue along the Paseo del Parque, the city’s green lung, filled with a wonderfully diverse array of plant life.

At the entrance to La Malagueta, we’ll take a moment for a photo beside the colorful glass cube of the Centre Pompidou, the only Spanish branch of the famous Paris museum. The beach is now just a few steps away, past the Plaza de Toros (bullring) and Gran Hotel Miramar, the most iconic and luxurious hotel in Málaga. And here we are: La Malagueta Beach, where—if we’re lucky—we’ll witness a stunning sunrise! We’ll continue exploring the area, passing the cruise terminal, La Farola (the lighthouse), built in 1817 and a true symbol of the city which the people of Málaga hold it dear for what it represents. We’ll also run through the commercial zones of Muelle 1 and Muelle 2, next to the port, filled with countless shops and restaurants, before heading back to our starting point: Plaza de la Marina.
