    Insightful day trip...

    Our visit to El Torcal and Antequera exceeded our expectations due to our knowledgeable guided. In El Torcal he gave us insights into the geology, flora and fauna of the area. In Antequera he took us to the dolmens, ancient burial chambers; his insights deepened our understanding of these significant structures.

    What should I bring or wear?

    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.
