The 10 Best Walking Tours in Malaga, Andalucia

June 2, 2021 Janette Largent

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.

Maria is my absolute favourite person in Malaga! Really enjoyable day with her learning about the towns history. She was a fountain of information, humoured me with English as my Spanish is still very poor. Highly recommend this walking tour to anyone visiting.

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.

"Its streets crowned the hill, as if rocked by the sea that painted that green background full of white polka dots an intense blue. The calm of its light accompanied us as we ascended its steep streets, leaving behind the old sugar mill, once the axis of local commerce. ... " In this experience, he will take us through the streets of Nerja and its famous Balcón de Europa, as well as Frigiliana. This, known as the "Villa of the Three Cultures", has a preferential place in the list of The Most Beautiful Towns of the Iberian Peninsula. Today it offers us unique images, almost transporting us in space and time. Characteristics that make it an ideal destination not only for those who want to enjoy a pleasant visual walk through history and legends, but it is almost a mandatory stop for photography lovers.

For a great flamenco show in Málaga we thoroughly recommend El Museo de Arte Flamenco, Peña Juan Breva. It's in calle Ramón Franqueo 4 in the city centre. It's usually on at 8.30pm on Thursdays and Saturdays but they can do additional shows if there's enough demand. Buy tickets in advance or get there at 8. Call +34952 221380 or +3460056 8856. Cost is €15 for adults, €10 for children including a drink and some tapas. It lasts about 90 minutes.
