Learn about the stories behind Spanish foods and the people who live and work in Malaga. Taste your way through the charming, historical center of Malaga, that’s all about discovering delicious hidden gems, pausing for classic Spanish treats along the way. Expect 16 tastings from five dining establishments with enough samples to make a full meal breakfast + lunch.
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!!
After this 3 hours tour you’ll be ready to move yourself around Malaga like a local! You’ll have done so much more than eating some local food and wandering around, we bet that now Malaga will have found a place in your heart ❤️

ExcellentBased on 770 reviewsAlex M16. August, 2024.A+ Experience Great experience and excellent value! Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. He led us through the Alcazaba in a way that avoided the throngs of other tourists and gave us relevant information while also keeping the tour moving at a good pace. We weren’t able to enter the Cathedral because a Mass was taking place; however, that part of the tour was substituted with a visit to Malaga’s oldest ice cream shop. Definitely recommend this tour if you have limited time and want to see the highlights.Robert D17. May, 2024.Best tapas &brief tour The no-lines access, historical highlights and great local tapas restaurants were fantastic … tour guide was great, very informative and personable!Colleen B8. May, 2024.Wonderful tour Damian was a fantastic guide! This is a very very good tour - informative, fun and delicious! Would definitely recommend.Janice S3. May, 2024.Walk a little Eat a lot It turned out we were the only ones on this fabulous tour with Damien. He did a great job showing us the Alcazaba Fortress, Roman Theater, and Cathedral. Having him to ourselves made it very in-depth. The two bars we went to for tapas were great. We enjoyed the wine and varied food choices. This part may have been a little more fun with others. We were only in Malaga for 24 hours and we felt we really got a good feel for the culture and gastronomy thanks to Damien.Karen O17. April, 2024.This tour is excellent and a great place to start learning about Malaga history. This was our first tour on first day in Malaga. It was great for seeing the “must see” fortress and the cathedral and of course the Roman theater. If we were on our own we could never have had the time to get into the fortress or the cathedral for such a quality experience. With Paco, we walked past literally everyone in the ultimate skip the line. For the church, there were a couple hundred people, waiting to get in after mass, and we four plus Paco walked in around twenty minutes ahead of the line. I seriously felt like some kind of VIP and it was nice to be able to get a start on seeing all that is inside the cathedral with very few people at all inside. We had tapas at one place inside and then another outside under a shade. All the food and wine was superb. I’ve been here four days now and with so much to see, I am so grateful I chose this tour and hit the ground running with these important sights.Ron T8. April, 2024.Must do in malaga Damien was our guide. Was one of the best guided tours I've ever experienced He was very knowledgeable as well as funny. Our group of 6 had a great time.Lisa A10. March, 2024.Excellent!! A great experience with our guide Paco! We enjoyed the food, drinks and culture. The tour is excellent and highly recommended!tedaileen29. February, 2024.Nuggets of knowledge and fun We were fortunate to get Miguel as our tour guide but after reading reviews I’m sure they are fantastic. Miguel has a passion for his city and started the company and only hires those that have the same passion and love for Malaga, travel and people as he does. We always book a walking tour in every new city we travel to. We have never had a bad or average tour. But this tour with Miguel was on a different level. I’d love to share all the amazing things he pointed out but I have a feeling they are great at reading folks and what their interests are. The nuggets of knowledge he dropped on us was amazing. To visit Malaga without doing this tour would be a mistake. If I could give 7 out of 5 stars I would. It was perfect and not many things are. Thank you again Miguel. Aileen and I had a fabulous time. Salud! TedDawn J31. January, 2024.A fun way to learn history & try new foods This was an outstanding tour! Paco was our guide and as a long time local he was quite knowledgeable about the history of the cathedral and fort that we toured. There was only ourselves and one other couple on our tour, which made it even more enjoyable. Paco included 2 restaurant stops and we enjoyed delicious food. To my surprise, my very favorite item was thinly sliced eggplant that was coated in sugar and served with maple syrup. That's a great way to eat vegetables! My husband and I would both highly recommend this company and Paco to other Malaga travelers.Susana 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!
