The International World Heritage Day is celebrated in Málaga with various activities in Andalusian cultural spaces, organised by the Department of Culture, Historical Heritage and Sport.

The event will feature around twenty activities, highlighting thematic visits at Madinat al-Zahra and workshops for schoolchildren at the Archaeological Complex of the Dolmens of Antequera. The Alhambra will also open its doors in what is known as an open day.
