The companies Tierra Malacitana and Enjoy Málaga Tours, united in Historia Viva Málaga, have organized for Saturday, April 22, two dramatized visits to the English Cemetery in the capital of Málaga
This visit will take place at 7:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. that day, "although the initial intention is to make these dramatized visits in English monthly, with the idea that from June we can increase the number of performances," according to explained Rubén Ceres, director of Enjoy Malaga Tours.

Ceres has indicated that this activity is a continuation of the dramatized visits that they already carry out in Spanish every Friday and that began in 2021, when the English cemetery "was going through a delicate moment due to the lack of tourists due to the covid measures."

In statements to Europa Press, he details that since they already had "experience with the visits of 'La Peste', which is focused on the local public, it seemed to us that a dramatized visit to the cemetery would be a good excuse for the people of Malaga to get to know it".

Routes in Spanish
On these routes in Spanish, visitors can learn about the history of the cemetery, "which in 1831 was the first Protestant in the Iberian Peninsula and which allowed the corpses of non-Catholics to stop being buried overnight vertically with their heads looking at the sea".

In these dramatized visits, they talk about William Mark, "who was the consul responsible for having this cemetery in Malaga", but also about Robert Boyd, "the brave Irishman who fought and was shot alongside Torrijos and who was the first person buried within the walls of the cemetery".

"What really characterizes us and that ends up surprising visitors is that we are able to tell the story with elements of humor amidst so much drama, turning the visit into a tragicomedy," highlighted Ceres, who pointed out that these visits in Spanish They are held every Friday.

Doing it in English "has been a bit on demand, since the church of Saint George, which is housed in the heart of the cemetery, has a significant community of British and other nationalities who speak mostly English and whom we want to include as well. in the visit".

Thus, he has considered that "we think it could be a great opportunity for foreign visitors to come to this cemetery and get to know this very cosmopolitan aspect of Malaga and collaborate with the maintenance of the cemetery, which still needs pampering."

As indicated by the organization, reservations for tickets to attend these dramatized visits in English can be made through the web tieramalacitana.es
