Your guide meets you at meeting point and you head to El Palo — Málaga's old fishing neighbourhood, still the same as it's always been. Then down to the beach for espetos de sardinas at a chiringuito. Cooked over wood fire in the sand, drink included. The type of place locals actually go. The food stop is pre-arranged and fully included, so everything is taken care of for you.
After that, back through the city. Gibralfaro for the view, Picasso's birthplace, La Malagueta bullring, Muelle Uno Harbor and back to City Hall. You'll have plenty of opportunities to take photos, ask questions, and discover hidden corners that many visitors miss.
