We’ll get started with a brief introduction of the tour! Our local expert & licensed tour guide will give you a short summary about what it’s included and the timing.
Next up, you’ll visit the most famous bar for Hot Chocolate and Churros (fried dough), a local treasure to enjoy this delicious treat. We will grab some churros and chocolate and enjoy it on the go!
We will continue with a second stop, the oldest tavern in the city, where you have the opportunity to taste the delicious Malaga Sweet Wine, same spot where Hans Christian Andersen spent hours, if not days! We’ll pair this wine with local seafood.
The next stop is what we call THE STOP, Atarazanas Food Market, inside a historical building from the second half of the XIX century. We will try here the iconic Tinto de Verano (red wine with carbonated lemonade). Sorry, no sangria, that’s for tourists!! More food to taste as shrimps skewers. Inside the market we’ll share with you some interesting anecdotes and stories behind the stalls. After this immersion in the local culture we’ll head to other city highlights. We will taste as well some local products as almonds, olives and other traditional products of this fertile area in another stall inside the market.
Our 5th stop includes a local ultramarino, a family run business where you can taste all meats coming from the Iberian pig as chorizo, Iberian ham and salchichón (salami) as well as some cheese all paired with another traditional drink: vermouth!
Last but no least, our 6th stop where you can try a different variety of pintxos (tapas on bread) plus red or white wine, tomato salad and much more!!

ExcellentBased on 761 reviewsSusana A16. January, 2024.Amazing Malaga walking tour Paco is an amazing guide! We loved the tour, we were a big family - 10 people - from 3 to 89-years-old, and he was able to please everyone. He's polite, fun, patient and knows everything about the city. In this picture, my father and him having a great time. Strongly recommend!GLC31023. January, 2024.Favorite Guide in Spain! Definitely do this tour and ask for Damien Super fun 1/2 day in Malaga with a local! We loved Damien. This was one of our favorite activities in Spain! It was just our family and Damien took us all over the city, telling us about his life, his family and his beautiful city. He had a lot of interesting trivia which we really enjoyed. We went inside the Cathedral and into the Alcazar. Perfect amount of explaining and details. We stopped at two places for tapas and they were two of our best meals. He is well known in the city and the restaurants expected us and we had reserved tables and no wait. Guide was engaging and seemed happy to spend the 1/2 day with us. Perfect English and very personable.kareyrhoda31. December, 2023.A must do! A fantastic way to blend local history and culture ! Our guide Paco was outstanding! He personally took all photos for us and then shared them with us later. The tapas was delicious and unique!Soala O24. November, 2023.The most exquisite walking tour!! The tour was, like most of Malaga had been, surprisingly delightful! I went on with my wife & our 2 yr old in a pram, yet still managed to enjoy the trip & make friends with another couple from the UK. Paco, our guide, was the bees knees! Most knowledgeable about the city's sights, & very charming too! The perfect host... Did I mention he's 80yrs!!! It was all we could do to keep up with his pace! The tapas & red wine (my choice) were lovely, & the perfect way to top-off an exquisite morning/afternoon! Would highly recommend!APerlman22. November, 2023.great alternative to a ship's tour My wife and I, sister and her partner had a great time on our Malaga History in Depth tour with Paco. We were on a cruise and skipped the crowded ship tours for a special small tour that allowed us to go at our own pace. Paco was knowledgeable and a pleasure to tour with, my sister has health issues and he was very good about adjusting to her slower pace, extending the tour by a half an hour. The tour began right where the ship's shuttle bus dropped us off and we had plenty of time for lunch at his recommended restaurant, where the food was tasty and reasonably priced. A memorable day!Fiona H13. November, 2023.Informative guide with excellent English Paco was so informative with excellent English and we had a wonderful tour with him . Delighted with our choice of a family run company WeloveMalagaJoanne9. November, 2023.Great way to see sights of Malaga This was a great walking tour! It ended up just being two of us rather than a group so it was a more personal tour. Our guide Paco was extremely knowledgeable and did a fantastic job showing/teaching us the sights of Malaga. The tapas and wine tasting at the end were on point and so delicious. Highly recommend.PANDGIRE4. November, 2023.Great experience We had a very good experience of our tapas and wine tasting in Malaga. We were expecting a group on the tour but was surprised it was only the two of us. Paco our host was an encyclopaedia of information about the area, the food and the wine. We enjoyed fabulous wine and tapas in three locations and have gone back to the same venues the following night.Not Just a Pretty Photo24. October, 2023.Great history lesson about Malaga We had a great time touring with Paco! His knowledge of Malaga was impressive and we could tell that he - as all great tour guides do - modify his fact telling based upon his audience. He had us cracking up telling us stories about who could claim being the “Big Apple” first. You can tell Paco is a master of his craft, as he enjoys touring as much as he does visiting countries. We enjoyed touring the areas listed in the tour (Cathedral, Alcazaba, etc.). As we were both pescatarians on our trip, our incredibly special treat had us go to the market and eat fresh tapas that included calamari, anchovies, and a pepper salad. We thought we done eating (as we were quite full), but headed over to another restaurant to have tapas toast style. Both experiences were memorable and likely something we would have not experience without him.Andrew N23. October, 2023.Great way to Learn about Malaga’s History We had so much fun with our group on our tour. Paco was kind and knowledgeable, and we really enjoyed finishing the tour with his Tapas and Wine Recommendation.
