The Town

Discover Málaga

Málaga, the vibrant capital of the Costa del Sol, offers a bright and cultural starting point for the Mozarabic Way. Starting the pilgrimage from this Mediterranean city is to begin with a mix of history, art, and joy. The pilgrim can seal their credencial in Santiago Church, the oldest in the city, before embarking on a journey that will take them from sea level to the interior hills. The city invites exploration, with its imposing Arab Alcazaba, Roman Theatre at its feet, and Gibralfaro Castle offering breathtaking views. As the birthplace of Pablo Picasso, a visit to his museum is almost obligatory. The lively historic centre, with Larios Street and Atarazanas Market, buzzes with life and offers exquisite cuisine. The path begins in the city to ascend gradually, in an initial demanding but beautiful phase. It's a start to pilgrimage that combines the energy of a great tourist city with the promise of an interior route, solitary and full of authenticity.
