Los Guindos Chimney

Highlight • Monument

This chimney, at the time the tallest chimney in Spain at almost 100 metres, belonged to “Los Guindos”, a mineral metallurgy company. The factory, which began operations in 1922, was used to melt and laminate lead from the mines in the province of Jaén and was in operation until November 1979.

Today this chimney is a striking landmark on the coast of Málaga and a relic of the city's industrial past. It not only represents the history of the Los Guindos district, but also the economic development of the region in the 20th century. The area around the chimney has been integrated into a promenade and is now a popular destination and a great photo point!

Statue of the Espetero

Highlight • Monument

The Espetero Statue is a tribute to the traditional art of grilling sardines in Málaga! 🐟🔥

It was inaugurated on June 12, 2006, and is located on the Antonio Banderas Promenade, near Misericordia Beach. The sculpture honors the Espeteros, who for centuries have grilled sardines on wooden skewers over an open fire, a culinary tradition deeply rooted in Málaga culture.

The statue was created by Machú Harras and is part of the monuments that represent various traditional trades in the city, such as the Cenachero (fish seller) and the Biznaguero (jasmine seller).

A true emblem for lovers of grilled sardines and a symbol of Málaga's culinary identity! 😋🔥

La Farola of Málaga

Highlight • Monument

The lighthouse in Malaga, known as La Farola de Malaga, is an iconic landmark of the Andalusian port city. It is located at the port of Malaga and is one of the few lighthouses in Spain named in the feminine form. “Farola” means “The Lighthouse Woman”. La Farola was built in 1817 and has served as a landmark for ships heading to the port ever since. Over the years, the lighthouse has been modernized to meet the demands of modern shipping. It stands on the Paseo de la Farola, a popular promenade that runs along the port. In addition to its practical function, the Farola also has symbolic value and represents the maritime spirit of Malaga.

The lighthouse itself is about 38 meters high and has a very characteristic cylindrical shape, making it an unmistakable element of the Malaga skyline. Especially at sunset, the area around the lighthouse offers beautiful views of the sea and the city. A great destination for a tour in Malaga.
