At the indicated time, we'll meet at the Paseo de la Farola in Malaga and get on the minibus that'll take us to the Karma Guen Buddhist Centre. After a 40-minute drive, we'll arrive at the Velez-Malaga Buddhist Stupa, erected in 1994, the first of its kind to be built outside Asia. You'll learn about its intricate details and significance.
