About this tour

A guide leads you between stops, where immersive 360° reconstructions show what each location looked like centuries ago—from Phoenician settlements to Renaissance ceremonies.

What to expect
You'll collect a VR headset at the start and wear it at each of four to five designated stops around the historic centre. Between locations, your guide walks you through narrow streets, explaining Malaga's layered past. At the Roman Theatre, Alcazaba ruins, and other sites, you'll don the headset for a few minutes to see detailed digital reconstructions—how the theatre functioned in antiquity, how the Phoenician settlement thrived, how the royal ceremony unfolded. It's a blend of conventional walking tour and tech-driven visual storytelling. Expect some standing and moderate walking across uneven medieval streets.
