Architecture Week in Málaga: a different look at the city

Every October, Málaga celebrates Architecture Week, an annual event organised by the Official College of Architects, inviting everyone to discover the city from a new perspective.

Throughout these days, there are guided tours, lectures, exhibitions and public activities designed to bring architecture and urban planning closer to citizens. It’s a unique opportunity to understand how the spaces we inhabit shape our daily lives, and how Málaga has transformed in recent years.

What makes this week special?

• Visits to unique buildings: normally inaccessible spaces open their doors, allowing visitors to explore Málaga’s architectural heritage from the inside.

• Talks and debates: experts share reflections on the city’s future, sustainability and the challenges of more human-centred urban planning.

• Activities for everyone: workshops for children, urban walks and cultural events bring architecture closer to all ages.

A reflection of today’s Málaga

Málaga is undergoing a true urban transformation: new museums, pedestrian zones, restoration of historical heritage and innovative projects. Architecture Week is the perfect showcase to understand how the city blends its Andalusian past, Mediterranean character and present role as a cultural and technological hub.

An experience for newcomers

For those who have just moved to Málaga, this week is the perfect occasion to:

• Understand Málaga’s history and future through its architecture

Architecture Week is not only for professionals, but for anyone curious about how a city like Málaga is built and experienced.
