Description

At the indicated time, we'll meet at the Paseo de la Farola in Malaga and board the minibus to the Karma Guen Buddhist Centre.

After a 40-minute drive, we'll arrive at the Velez-Malaga Buddhist Stupa, the first of its kind built outside Asia, erected in 1994. We will explain its intricate details and significance.
