Overview

This adventure has 2 of the most important ingredients to make your walk around Malaga an UNFORGETTABLE visit: the experience of local 'malagueñas'; and also officially qualified tour guides.

The idea is not to talk about a huge amount of historical facts, nor to treat you as just another tourist. The purpose is to experience and feel the city as a REAL LOCAL, a real "malagueño".

The duration of this activity is 2,5h and it starts at one of the most iconic squares of the city: Plaza de la Merced.

Then, the walk will get started around the historical area in order to discover the most well-known places (as well as surprising, unknown ones) of the centre, while talking about history, curiosities, traditions...
Where do locals go, what are our customs, where do we go and what do we eat?

To end the tour, we'll visit the Central Market where we'll try local products and then we'll toast with some nice sweet wine to say goodbye.
