Did you know?
During the 1920s, Málaga experienced a period of modernization and social transformation. Electric tramways connected neighborhoods, the port remained central to the local economy, and public spaces became hubs of daily life.
Festivities, regattas and religious processions coexisted with technological progress — from public transport to early telephone infrastructure. This decade reflects a city balancing tradition and change, shortly before the political and social upheavals that would shape Spain in the following years.
