The 10 Best Walking Tours in Malaga, Andalucia
Malaga is one of the oldest cities in the world, founded in the 8th century by the Phoenicians. Today, art is everywhere-- you can experience exhibits dedicated to glass and crystal, classic cars, contemporary installations, and, of course, the works of Picasso, who was born here. Wander past banana trees and beautiful fountains as you walk through Paseo del Parque, then hit the old city to quench your thirst at a Spanish tavern.

We loved playing this game and would highly recommend it to anyone. Please be aware that it is a timed game and you need to be physically active, as there is not time to spare for drink or toilet breaks. You should bring minimal bags as you need to carry around a large briefcase for your mission. We were literally racing around the city to find different locations at which we then had to solve riddles or tasks to gain points and be pointed to the next location. It was involving for the group and we had a lot of fun. There were a couple of hiccups but Vlad was excellent and very keen to iron out any possible areas of improvement. We would highly recommend this entertainment that takes just over 2 hours.
