Designed for those who appreciate beauty, art and architecture, this four-hour excursion offers the opportunity to immerse yourself into the city's diverse history. Your tour begins as you board your motorcoach at the pier and travel into the heart of Málaga. As you wind your way through the quaint streets, you'll pass many historic buildings that date back to the 16th century.

Upon arriving at the Cathedral of Málaga for an outside visit, you may notice that the Renaissance structure has only one tower. Although construction began in 1528 and completed in 1782, the funds for the second tower were given to the newly formed United States to help fight the British. Today, the Cathedral is affectionately known as "La Manquita" or the one-armed lady. Originally built on the site of a mosque during the Muslim Arabic rule, which began in the 8th century, the imposing Cathedral is one of the most prominent structures in the city. Outside, the ornate stonework and 275-foot tower adds to the majesty of its surroundings.

After your tour,walk through Plaza de la Merced en route to the Pablo Picasso Museum. Once the site of convents and hospitals, the Plaza once hosted King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella after the Reconquest of Spain in the 15th century.

You'll continue on past the house where Picasso was born, the current headquarters of the Picasso Foundation. Declared a national monument in 1939, this 16th century building also holds a small collection of Picasso's works as well as other Spanish artists.

Once you arrive at the Pablo Picasso Museum, you'll have over an hour to view the paintings, drawings, sculptures, ceramics and graphic works that have made Picasso one of the most important modern artists in history. Culled from the private collection of the widow of Picasso's son, Paul and their son, Bernard, the collection also includes art by Miró, Christo, Ernst, and others. Here you can visit the gift shop for books, postcards and souvenirs.

Before returning to your ship, you will have an opportunity to visit Alcazaba, the city's iconic Moorish fortress.
Dating back to the 8th century, it showcases a captivating blend of Moorish and Spanish architectural styles. This well-preserved structure offers visitors the opportunity to explore its impressive walls, beautiful gardens, and intricate courtyards. From the top, panoramic views of Malaga's skyline and the Mediterranean Sea can be enjoyed. The Alcazaba stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Malaga.
