The first stop of the day will be the charming whitewashed town of Ronda, perched dramatically on a plateau split by the awe-inspiring El Tajo Gorge. Whilst the exact itinerary of your visit can vary according to what you are most interested in, you will be sure to stroll through the historic old town, discovering its Moorish and Spanish heritage. You will also spend time admiring the iconic Puente Nuevo Bridge, which spans the gorge and offers panoramic views of the surrounding valleys.

Soon you will arrive in Málaga, the gateway to the Costa del Sol and a city steeped in history. You will set off on a guided tour of its lively Old Town, rich with cultural treasures. Your guide will provide a crash course in Malaga’s almost 3000-year history and adapt your route according to what you would most like to see. Key monuments include the impressive Alcazaba, a Moorish fortress palace with stunning views of the Mediterranean and the adjoining Gibralfaro Castle which offers a glimpse into the city’s medieval military past. You will likely pass by the distinctive Málaga Cathedral, known as “La Manquita,” for its incomplete second tower, and learn about Málaga’s connection to Pablo Picasso, who was born here and is honoured by the city’s Picasso Museum.

After your in-depth exploration of the marvels of Malaga, your guide will take you on a scenic route back to your hotel in Seville, where you can recharge and reflect on the incredible sights and stories you’ve encountered throughout the day.
