Here’s a link to our Marbella Food Tours playlist, so you can watch us try out different options.
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.
Tickets: https://www.caminitodelrey.inf... Only buy from the official site!
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.
How To Get There: Ideally rent a car and park it by the North entrance or take a public bus there.

Ronda, la Ciudad Soñada
Conocida localmente como la tierra de los bandoleros y sus románticas historias, Ronda ha cautivado a célebres figuras culturales como Orson Welles y Rilke, quienes encontraron inspiración en su hermoso entorno. Su icónico Puente Nuevo, con una impresionante altura de más de 450 metros, puede admirarse desde ambos lados con un corto paseo. Además, Ronda alberga la plaza de toros más antigua de España. Sin olvidar su exquisita gastronomía, con delicias como el queso de cabra al romero o la carrillada. Una excursión desde la costa es imprescindible.
Tánger: un día o dos, tú decides
A solo 35 minutos en ferry desde Tarifa, es una excelente opción para una excursión de un día. Pero si quieres sumergirte más en su cultura, pasar la noche es una gran idea.
Mijas: El pueblo blanco más famoso del mundo
Sí, el de los famosos burro-taxis, con espectaculares vistas de la costa desde Málaga hasta Gibraltar. Sus coloridos callejones invitan a perderse, y su amplia plaza alberga cientos de pequeñas tiendas donde encontrar un auténtico recuerdo.
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.
Organic Brewery in Islantilla, Huelva
Hire a car and discover the wildest part of Andalucia heading West, spectacular beaches, and natural landmarks. And visit Ruben's restaurant and brewery for a tour and tasting of unique craft beers. Located in a quiet beer garden, the restaurant offers innovative homemade dishes by the owner and chef Ruben, while Mayte will welcome you with open hands. A power couple giving it all to deliver a unique experience.
