Empezamos en el barrio más puro de Málaga: la Trinidad, frente a la Parroquia de San Pablo, donde conocerás la muy querida figura del Cautivo. Cruzamos el Puente de los Alemanes, con una historia curiosa que une Málaga con Alemania.
Subimos por calles locales hasta la Tribuna de los Pobres, símbolo de la Semana Santa, y por el camino te recomendaré lugares como La Cheesquería o alguna taberna con sabor a Andalucía.
Pasamos por el Teatro Cervantes, hablamos de Antonio Banderas y su proyecto del Teatro del Soho. Luego, en la Plaza de la Merced, te cuento sobre la infancia de Picasso y su vínculo con la ciudad.
Caminando por el centro hacia el Café de Chinitas, abrimos un tema importante: el turismo masivo y cómo en Local Essence proponemos otra forma de viajar: más cercana, más local.
Iremos al Castillo de Gibralfaro para disfrutar de las mejores vistas de Málaga, mientras hablamos de la ciudad, su forma y su relación con el mar.
Y para terminar: bajamos al mirador, donde te invitamos a una cerveza Victoria con productos locales (jamón, almendras, pasas, aceitunas…) mientras cae el sol. Charlamos, picamos algo y cerramos el día como verdaderos locales.
