What to expect

Expect leisurely exploration of compact historical districts—narrow streets, whitewashed buildings, the buzz of daily life. The Hercules Caves involve moderate walking on uneven surfaces. Mid-afternoon, you'll mount a camel for a beach ride (roughly 30–45 minutes). Late afternoon brings a sit-down Moroccan meal at a local restaurant. Return ferry departs evening, arriving Málaga after dark.
