What to expect
Your guide meets you in the historic quarter and leads a steady walk through Málaga's main sights, moving between periods—from Roman foundations to Moorish fortifications to Renaissance architecture. You'll climb into the Alcazaba, descend to the Theatre, and view the Cathedral (interiors vary by day and Diocese schedule). Expect moderate pace with stops for context and photos. After two hours, you'll shift into eating mode at a casual bar for dishes and wine, then move to a second spot for more. The guide remains with you throughout, contextualising what you're eating within local tradition.

Cathedral access varies—confirm opening before booking if visiting Sunday or public holidays. Prams and strollers are manageable. Not suitable if you have significant fitness limitations.
