What to expect
The tour starts at Plaza de la Merced and moves through Málaga's historical centre at a walking pace. Your guide shares information about local history, customs, and traditions while steering you toward places locals actually frequent—mixing well-known sights with quieter, less touristy corners. Expect a conversational, insider perspective rather than a lecture on dates and dynasties.
Toward the end, you'll arrive at the Central Market where you'll sample local foods and regional products. The experience wraps up with a glass of sweet wine and a farewell—a relaxed, social close to the morning or afternoon.
