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, the first of its kind to be built outside Asia, established in 1994. Information about its intricate details and symbolism will be provided.
