Málaga was founded by the Phoenicians in the 8th century BC under the name Malaka, making it one of the oldest settlements in Europe. The Gibralfaro Castle has crowned the city since the 14th century, when Abd al-Malik expanded the Nasrid fortress to protect the Alcazaba. In 1881, Pablo Picasso was born here in Plaza de la Merced, marking the beginning of an artistic tradition that is reflected today in the Soho neighborhood and the Contemporary Art Center. The Cathedral, begun in 1528 on the site of the former main mosque, was left unfinished—lacking its south tower—earning it the popular nickname 'La Manquita' (The One-Armed Woman). The Paseo del Parque, laid out in 1897 on land reclaimed from the sea, hosts unique subtropical species. The Port of Málaga, active since Roman times, today combines commercial activity and leisure areas along Muelle Uno. In GeoCats Agora, you'll explore these waypoints, solving challenges that connect every corner to its real history.
