Forbidden Málaga: Crime, Prostitution, and Smuggling on the Costa del Sol

The tour lasts 2 hours and 30 minutes
Available in Spanish

Description

Discover the Málaga that doesn't appear in the guides: smugglers, prostitution, black market, corruption, and organized crime. 

Behind the sun, terraces, and postcards of the historic center lies a much darker city: a Málaga of smugglers, clandestine brothels, black market, corruption, violence, and organized crime.
In this free tour, we will walk through the streets of the center to uncover the hidden side of the city, the one that rarely appears in tourist guides.
For more than 2 hours, we will travel from the 19th century to the present to understand how Málaga went from being a smuggling port to becoming one of the most strategic enclaves in the Mediterranean for illegal money and criminal networks.
We will talk about:
  • Smuggling in the port of Málaga
  • Black market and illegal trade during the post-war period
  • Prostitution and old brothels in the historic center
  • Violence, illegal gambling, and nightlife
  • Corruption and urban crime
  • Mafias and money laundering on the Costa del Sol
