La Herradura
Private open air tour through the only coffee plantation in Europe and up to 30 types of tropical fruits. We will see avocados, mangoes, custard apples, lychees, red bananas, macadamias, pitayas and many more exotic trees. With a bit of luck we will be able to observe wild animals such as chameleons, eagles, partridges, owls, wild goats and wild boars. As a culmination we will be able to visit the most northern coffee plantation in the world and the only one in Europe. During the walk we will share our sustainable agricultural practices, biological balance and the closing of the circle of water and matter. There is a steep slope so it is recommended to avoid the hottest hours of the day, to bring comfortable and closed shoes and to hydrate properly. If you have any allergies to plants or pollen, we recommend that you consult us beforehand.

Amazing tour with even better story behind it xxx
We had such a lovely time at the Coffee and Tropical Farm! 🌴🍍 Manolo was an amazing guide, so friendly and funny! He made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We really appreciated his enthusiasm and would definitely recommend this tour!
via Tripadvisor
An absolute MUST-SEE for all visitors to southern Spain!
Manolo’s 48-acre terraced farm is a marvel of persistence and hard work. It was beautiful scenery and lovely to touch each plant, plus I learned so much from his entertaining presentation. I’ll bet you don’t know the part of a fruit you’ve been throwing away that is used to fight parasitic infections. Maybe you don’t know what a baby banana looks like, or that a very common house plant actually bears delicious fruit. (Didn’t know any of that.) At the end, he has frozen fruit drinks and other refreshments. I bought some of his coffee, and that will be the first thing to go in my new grinder when I get back from vacation. I will update after we’ve had a cup!

Great Coffee and not only!
We have booked for a tour but unfortunately it got "cancelled" last minute as the owners' children got sick and he had to go to hospital - he did let us know in advance about it. I have asked if we can instead stop by to purchase their coffee and wanted my parents badly to see a coffee tree in real life - after all it's hard to come across them anywhere around Europe... and I think this is the "only" place on the mainland EU that grows them. The owner offered that his father will welcome us upon arrival and handle the coffee part. So we did drive to the farm and we got more than just the coffee trees - the father, who were told doesn't speak English, actually spoke some simple English enough and his amazing enthusiasm and positive energy made a very nice experience - he took us around the farm (this is not where they grow the coffee itself, there is a tree here to see but the actual coffee field is located somewhere else that you normally go to visit) and showed us other trees - including to my huge surprise the macadamia nut tree, which the last time I saw in Hawaii - so this was another pleasant unique surprise. He gave us some amazing bananas as well and eventually we got to the "top" area where they have the sampling and sell jams/coffee etc. - this was such a nice surprise after coming here thinking that we are just "picking up" coffee (by the way, a very nice and mild coffee - love the fact it wasn't burnt as otherwise you can't trully appreciate it). A couple tips: TIP #1: if you drive yourself it's easier coming from the "east" as you get of N-340 with a right turn (right by the garbage bins, you can't miss it as that's the only area before the big roundabout you can turn into from the main road) - and then you continue on a pretty narrow road (be careful, barely any cars passing bit it is narrow and lots of curves) until you reach a fairly big curve that has some flat area by it , to park your car, and the gate - it's easy to miss - now that I check google maps it shows correctly as Herradura Coffee & Fruit Farm (again this is the farm, not the coffee fields address) but when we drove it back in July the directions told us we arrived way before this sign.... there is a signage on the gate but when it was open it was easy to miss it from the car - see my picture of the gate TIP #2: the farm itself, not the coffee fields as I can't speak to that, is a super uphill uneven walk, definitely not for people with mobility issues - my dad immediately said he will go back to the car, my mom and I went up the hills with the owner's father and I must say it was an exercise - add July summer heat to it and you definitely want to take it easy :) it is worth it, trust me!

A fun sunny afternoon!
A fun way to see a small family run coffee farm, explore the countryside and learn about agriculture.

Coffee farm in Andalusia, amazing owner - guide
We highly recommend this tour of Coffee plantations. An incredible passion for coffee and fruit, passed down from generation to generation. Great, funny and very friendly owner and guide ( Manuel = Batman 😉) who tells the story of the farm in a very hilarious way. An informative and very interesting visit.

Why this scores 83
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Guided Tour to the only coffee farm in Europe: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Malaga.
How much does Guided Tour to the only coffee farm in Europe cost?
+
Prices start at $17 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Malaga usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Guided Tour to the only coffee farm in Europe take?
+
Plan for about 1.2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Malaga is not rushed.
Is Guided Tour to the only coffee farm in Europe worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 204 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Malaga, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Guided Tour to the only coffee farm in Europe?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Guided Tour to the only coffee farm in Europe suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Guided Tour to the only coffee farm in Europe?
+
Around 71 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Malaga can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Malaga and add a light layer if any part of the 1.2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Guided Tour to the only coffee farm in Europe start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Malaga within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Malaga?
+
On Outty we rank every Malaga experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Go local for a day!, Caminito del Rey with Pickup from Malaga City, Rent a City Bike: Full Day 24 hours. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Malaga?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Malaga?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Guided Tour to the only coffee farm in Europe?
+
Included: 15% discount on fruit purchases. Not included: Local wine and Tapas; and Snacks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Guided Tour to the only coffee farm in Europe?
+

+
