Cordoba, Sevilla, Granada and Ronda are just the top of the iceberg of what's around us and here below you see just a few examples of the tours we have, but get in touch and we'll tailor make you one according to your likings.
Take a Walk on the King's Path
El Caminito del Rey (The King's Little Path) is a walkway pinned along the steep walls of a narrow gorge in El Chorro, the cute lakes you see in the back of Malaga airport when landing or taking off.
With a length of of 7.2 km, it's a unique hike in this part of the world and great to do in every season, no scary nor dangerous at all, as you might read somewhere else online, but a unique experience even for the not so fit. Trust us!
Why should i visit Caminito del Rey? Because it's something totally different and unexpected when you come to Marbella or Malaga for your sunny beach holiday.
You can of course pair up the day trip with a visit to the nearby villages or Ardales or Alora and enjoy some unique inland Andalucian foods.

They also offer guided tours in English, if you wish to go in a tour with other people or learn some extra facts about the History of El Caminito.

Ronda the Dreamt City
Locally known as the home of Bandoleros and their romantic tales, it has enchanted internationally known cultural celebrities like Orson Well and Rilche, who found inspiration among its beautiful setup. The New bridge has an impressive height of over 450 meters, can be admired by both sides with a short walk and Ronda is also home to the eldest bull ring in Spain. Not to mention the food options like rosemary goat cheese or carrillada. A day trip from the coast is a must.
Tangier: a day or two is up to you
only 35 min from ferry from Tarifa it's great for a day trip, but you can also stay the night to explore the culture a bit better
Mijas: The world most famous white village
Yes, the one with the donkey taxis, spectacular views of the coast from Malaga to Gibraltar and colorful little alleys to get lost into or the large square with 100s of small shops to choose from for an authentic souvenir
Tour Granada & Alhambra with an architect & story teller
Masquetours offers the most inquisitive travelers different tours, without any hurry to appreciate every space and detail. I am an architect specializing in Heritage, city, and Andalusian architecture. My concept of a guided tour goes beyond mere information: it is an experience of knowledge of the place, an authentic immersion in Andalusian towns and villages.
This is a one-of-a-kind experience to really immerse you in the Andalucian country culture: learning about goats.
Drive to Casa Bermeja, just behind Malaga, and you'll get to meet the Malaga goat, how they're bred and how the cheese is made. Spend the day in the beautiful surroundings and see something different than the beach.
