About this tour
This session walks Parque de Málaga, a palm-lined garden built on land reclaimed from the old harbour road, from its main avenue to a shaded row of tiled benches. You see a genuinely local corner of the city between the old town and the port. The route stays flat and calm, built for an unhurried morning pace.
We begin at the avenue with a quick check of the morning light, then move to the benches, pausing to explain the park's history and a few of its named trees. I answer questions as we go and send a short note on the park's layout afterward.
This suits anyone who wants a calm green session between busier stops, and travellers who enjoy garden history. It works well mid-morning, before the heat of the day sets in.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide

Itinerary
-
Welcome and sound check 5 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Malaga before heading out.
-
The palm avenue 15 min
The camera moves along an avenue of tall palms planted in the late 19th century, and I explain how the park was built on land reclaimed from the old harbour road.
-
A shaded bench row 15 min
You see a row of tiled benches under the palms, a common quiet spot for residents rather than visitors, and I point out the small plaques naming several of the park's oldest trees.
-
Your questions 7 min
Time to ask anything about Malaga: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 3 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Ajoblanco and Soho, worth a slower look.
