About this audio guide
This guide to the Jardines de Pedro Luis Alonso in Málaga traces a garden that outlived its own designer: Fernando Guerrero-Strachan Rosado drew these grounds around 1945 but died of typhus in the summer of 1941, at thirty-four, during one of the hardest years of Málaga's postwar period. You'll hear how the city, already shaped by his stadiums and churches, finally built his unfinished design in 1948 and named it after someone else entirely. The guide follows what that delay meant for the plaza beside the town hall, and for the man who never got to walk through it.
