Fabulous tour. 3 separate tapas restaurants, all with unique character, wine included. Knowledgeable and personable guide. A wonderful walking tour experience to enjoy the ambience and spirit of Malaga.

Thanks! That is exactly what we were looking for! Unfortunately our ship doesn't arrive until 12 noon so I will have to see if they can customize. Was the meeting point far from the ship?

Meeting point was at McDonald's a short walk from where shuttle bus drops you. You will need to take the shuttle. They should be able to customize, they were very amenable and we had 6 people, plus joined by 2 others so 8 total, a nice size.

Thanks, great help!

Thanks to your post c-legs, we booked welovemalaga for the Ultimate tour. We have Damian as our guide for12 of us as a private group. Unfortunately the Cathedral is not open to visitors on Sundays, but fortunately, being Catholic, we will get to see it at 9am mass before we head to McD's to meet at 10:30.

That looks like a great tour! Please try and report back your experience?

We are hoping to book them for our TA next spring but due to our late arrival we will only have time for the tapas tour. Sounds like fun anyway and appreciate recommendation from PT 109.

For anyone not wanting an organised tour, the centre of Malaga is small and very pedestrian friendly with more Tapas Bars than you could ever visit. Some of our favourites are listed below but just follow the locals to see where they go for authentic Tapas and atmosphere.

El Pimpi - Accessed down a ginnel off Calle Granada or from immediately opposite the Roman Amphitheatre ruins, El Pimpi is one of the best known bars in Malaga where you can sample local Wines, Hams, Cheeses etc. www.elpimpi.com/en

Bodega Antigua Casa de Guardia - this bar can be accessed either off the main street Avenida Alameda Principal or from opposite the Indoor Market. A Malaga institution (gets packed at lunchtime so visit around noon) it is rumoured to be the oldest bar in the city and was once the prison house. Numerous casks house all varieties of the famous Malaga Wines (fortified wines similar to Sherry) plus wines from other parts of Spain. As you select each glass your running total is chalked up in front of you on the old wooden bar. Good seafood Tapas served too. www.casadeguardia.com

Cafeteria Axarquia - A basic café just up from the Casa Antigua de Guardia on the Avenida Alameda Principal. Don't be put off by appearances, the Tapas and Seafood here are excellent (quality and price).

Bar El Jardin - Situated at the rear of the Cathedral (on the left hand side if you face the Cathedral), this is an Art Deco bar/restaurant that serves great Tapas (best Tortilla anywhere IMO). Although slightly dearer than other Tapas Bars, the decor and food make it a place that we never miss when visiting Malaga. www.eljardinmalaga.com

Port Bar - If you don't want to walk into the city centre there is a bar in the main port/ferry building (opposite the entrance to the port) that is a popular watering hold for local workers - not the most elegant of bars but they offer a good choice of Tapas. This place is a lot cheaper than the bars you will find in the Muelle Uno development within the port grounds.

Enjoy!

Thank you for repeating this post, i had already copied it in case plans don't work out but i think it would be nice to go as a small group if possible.

Trying to work out if we will have time to get up to the castle after the tour.

Damian was our guide. He was terrific. You'll have a fun, informative and tasty experience.

We did the lunchtime tapas tour with spainfoodsherpas.com. It was one of the highlights of our trip. We had a great time plus learned a lot. There were just 4 of us on the tour so it was very personal for everyone. Give them a look before you commit.
