What to expect

Malaga's old town takes centre stage on this Sites & Bites half-day walking tour. You'll stop by the city's main sights, hear about their history from your guide and get a taste for this place's culinary scene. First up is Gibralfaro Castle, a historic fortress once a key part of the city's defence strategy. Once you're up here, you'll see why it was such a major player – the view up here packs in the whole city, its port, and the Mediterranean Sea.

Then, you'll hop on a bus into the city centre for a guided tour of Malaga's main sights. Stop by the Alcazaba of Malaga, an 11th-century Moorish fortress, as well as the ruins of the Roman Theatre dating all the way back to the 1st century BC. Next, stroll towards Malaga Cathedral, known affectionately as La Manquita in Spanish. This nickname, which translates to The One-Armed Lady, refers to the cathedral's unfinished south tower – it's become a symbolic part of the cathedral.

Head over to Bodegas El Pimpi, a tavern known for its cosy atmosphere and classic Andalusian fare, for your first bite of the day. It's pure tradition on the menu here, with a typical Malaguena tapa served in the classic way – with a drink. Then, wind your way to Sabor a Espana – the sweet scent of caramel filling the street will lead you straight to this tasty spot – to see how caramelised nuts are made and, of course, you'll get to sample some. Finally, wrap the tour up with some free time to wander through the city at your own pace.

    De gids kon goed nederlands, kwam heel sympathiek over, leuk dat je in Malaga wel wat vrije momenten kreeg, echt een aan rader.
