Facile

Step beyond the postcard image of Marbella and discover its true cultural depth.

This private experience combines the historical layers of Marbella’s Old Town with an intimate exploration of the Contemporary Spanish Engraving Museum, housed in the 16th-century Palacio Bazán.

From medieval walls to modern artistic expression, this curated journey reveals how Marbella evolved from a Moorish stronghold into a refined Mediterranean destination with a surprising artistic soul.


Part I – The Old Town: Layers of History

Your experience begins in Marbella’s charming casco antiguo, where narrow streets still follow the footprint of its Islamic medina. Beyond dates and monuments, you will gain context — understanding how geography, trade and culture shaped the town’s identity.

During this guided walk you will explore:

  • The remains of the Moorish fortifications
  • Plaza de los Naranjos and its Renaissance civic buildings
  • The transformation of Marbella after the Reconquista
  • The social and architectural evolution into the modern era

Part II – The Contemporary Engraving Museum

The second part of the experience takes place inside the Palacio Bazán, a remarkable Renaissance building that now hosts one of Spain’s most specialised collections dedicated to contemporary engraving.

Here, we explore:

  • The tradition and technique of Spanish engraving
  • Selected works by prominent modern artists incl. Picasso
  • The role of graphic art in 20th-century Spanish culture
  • The dialogue between historical architecture and contemporary expression

🚕 Private transportation is not included.
