Tour description

Explore Algeciras: A Journey in Time



Welcome to my guruwalk, an odyssey in which each street is a chapter and each corner, a page full of stories to discover! We will immerse ourselves in Algeciras, a city that breathes history from its foundations. From the Plaza Alta, the epicenter of social life, to the shores of the Paseo Marítimo, I will take you on a journey that will unravel the mysteries of the past.



We will explore the Old Town, where the cobblestone streets whisper tales of medieval Algeciras. The imposing Church of Our Lady of La Palma will open the doors to centuries of devotion and notable events. We will ascend to the viewpoint next to the Plaza Alta, a small corner with panoramic views that will take your breath away. Then, we will enter the María Cristina Park, witness to romantic encounters and a haven of serenity. Also, we will discover the ancient Merení Walls, which tell the history of the fortified city.



On the Paseo Marítimo, we will find the statue of Paco de Lucía, the flamenco genius who elevated the notes of Algeciras. We will conclude our trip in the bustling Port of Algeciras, a beacon of commerce marked by cultural encounters. This is not an end, but the beginning of your connection with a city that has much more to tell.

Fue un tour completo y muy interesante. Zineb es una guía maravillosa, con conocimientos sobre el lugar y emoción en la comunicación de los mismos. Además se preocupa por conocer aquello que quieren saber los componentes del grupo sobre los diferentes lugares y dar respuesta a los mismos. Muy recomendable.
