A very special tour where you will get to know an intense period of the history of Spain and how it was so dramatically lived in Malaga. We will relive key moments like the Second Republic, the failed military coup in Malaga and the fall of the city. Through the eyes of English and American expats you will know how they lived that time in the city and their adventures to survive between intrigues, spies and accusations of treason.

Many other real testimonies will be read along the tour on the exact spots where they happened. You will feel totally inmersed in the ambience of those days in Malaga city.

Following, we’ll visit the upper class quarter, El Limonar, where most of these witnesses used to live and experienced war at first hand. We’ll enter at the College of Architects, impressive villa with a thrilling story of treason.

We will finish at the old Caleta Palace Hotel, where some of the stories of these witnesses come to an end. You’ll learn how some of them escaped, others stayed and even some returned.
