Antequera, El Torcal National Park and the Dolmens Guide - From $None

Prepare to be amazed by the stunning scenery of El Torcal National Park. Over millions of years, forces of nature have created this spectacular other-worldly landscape of weird and wonderful rock formations interspersed with lush vegetation. It’s a fabulous place to explore and there are walking trails you can follow. You will also visit the Dolmens, enormous burial chambers dating back to prehistoric times. Please be aware that walking shoes suitable for rough terrain will be required for this excursion. Warm clothes are also essential due to changeable weather conditions in the Dolmens, regardless of your date of travel. Half-day tour – Moderate walking – Natural beauty

Tour of cosmopolitan Malaga - From $None

Visit Picasso’s birthplace, the attractive and cosmopolitan city of Malaga. Situated on a sweeping bay on the beautiful Andalucian coast, here you will find wide boulevards, swaying palm trees, interesting museums and inviting tapas bars. Sit back and relax as you enjoy a panoramic tour, taking in the beautiful Malagueño architecture, avenues lined by palm trees and the city’s main shopping area. You will also head to the hilltop Gibralfaro Castle and admire fabulous panoramic views of the Mediterranean. During free time, you could perhaps enjoy a glass of locally produced Malaga wine in a bodega-style bar or visit the Picasso Museum – one of Malaga’s premier attractions.

Ronda Guide - From $None

Marvel at the spectacular scenery as we drive through the majestic Andalucian mountains to the clifftop town of Ronda. Said to be equal in art, history and beauty, in its heyday, Ronda was an impregnable fortress town. Situated high on a plateau, it is dominated by El Tajo, a 100-metre-deep gorge. Admire the Royal Maestranza Bullring, one of the oldest in Spain, and other iconic landmarks including the Moorish baths and Mondragon Palace, home to the fascinating museum of Ronda. Our scenic drive back to the hotel takes us through sweeping landscapes and a citrus-fruit growing area of southern Spain. Full-day tour – Moderate walking – Bestseller
