Malaga is a city with a rich history spanning over 2800 years. From the Phoenicians, who first settled here, to the Romans, Arabs, and later the Catholic Monarchs, each period has left its mark on the city. Walking through the streets of Malaga allows you to see this history reflected in its architecture, squares, and monuments. The city has evolved over the centuries, blending its historical heritage with modern life, making it a vibrant place to explore and experience. From ancient walls to contemporary shopping streets, Malaga tells the story of its past in every corner.
Our walk begins at Calle del Marqués de Larios, known simply as Calle Larios. Designed in the nineteenth century by architect Strachan, its facades reflect bourgeois style and elegance. It is the main shopping street of Malaga, lively throughout the year, and only the most exclusive businesses have rentals here. We will visit the citys most important squares and learn why the cathedral is nicknamed as it is, a clue being that it is unfinished. The cathedral also has unusual gargoyles, the story of which will be explained at the Chain Gate where remnants of the original Great Mosque can also be seen. We will pass by the Picasso Museum but will focus more on his life at Plaza de la Merced, where he grew up. Walking down Calle Granada, once the citys main street before the Alameda Principal and Calle Larios emerged, we will find the oldest church and the best local restaurants. Along the way, we will talk about Malaga customs and celebrations, including Holy Week, the August fair, and Christmas lights and concerts. We will also explain local curiosities, such as how to order coffee and the meaning of the term madwoman. This walk is a journey through history, culture, and daily life in Malaga.

We went on 2 tours from Malaga: Caminito del Rey, and Setenil and Ronda. We booked the tours with Get Your Guide and both were actually serviced by Visitanddo.com (a local tour company). The booking experience with GYG is very easy and smooth. The post booking information is very thorough and easy to understand. Having booked multiple tours with them it’s good to see that there is a very solid consistent format of communications. Pre-tour reminders via email and in app notifications are good to make sure the timing and pickup locations are well received. The app is easy to navigate and provides tons of great info. We stayed in Torremolinos so it was great to have pick up options there so we didn’t have to train into Malaga. Caminito del Rey - tour guide was Alain. He was very knowledgeable about the canyons and the history of the Caminito. The views and hike are amazing and breathtaking! The trails in some parts are very narrow and some steps are very steep so this is not suitable for people with mobility issues or small children. A small issue we noted was the earphones provided. We had a very large group and since the paths are narrow the group was pretty spread out with him at front. At times he was far ahead or around a corner and we would lose what he was saying for a few minutes as the radio link was not strong enough. Setenil and Ronda - tour guide was Jorge. He was excellent! He was funny, made sure the group was as safe (always gave heads up on small walking hazards as we moved along), provided great info about the surrounding areas and history on the bus rides to the two locations, and while in each place did an amazing job of providing background on the areas and tips for the calling around. We went on National Spanish Day so it was as VERY busy so he had to switch some of the itinerary in the fly which ensured our trip experience was not impacted too much.

What an excellent tour. I usually do my own thing but very glad that I joined this tour. Danny was very informative and allowed plenty of time for questions, he was also very good with children on the tour.
Craig
Great tour experience with Danny. He was fun and informative. Took great care of us. The Málaga Cathedral was phenomenal and Danny’s guideship even seemed to get the attention of people not in the group. It was great!

Dani was a great tour guide. He brought the idea of a siege of the fortress to life and relatable through great storytelling. He paused often to ask if there was need for clarification or questions. We also enjoyed the information about the cathedral and the story behind what the locals call it. The one-armed lady. But in a loving way. Would recommend!
