Trail list · MALAGA HIKING TOURS
The 4 best hiking tours in Malaga you can book, with what each costs, how long you are on your feet and who it suits. Number one is there for a reason; start with it.
Follow the Caminito del Rey, a narrow walkway fixed to the gorge walls about 100 meters above the river. Your English-speaking guide covers its railway history and leads a group of up to 30 from El Kiosko to the north exit. The route takes about three hours, with a bus needed afterward to return to the start.
“Wonderfull place which you only can see walking. Good change after beaches, historic towns and cathedrals.”
Leave central Málaga at 8:30 a.m. for a three-hour guided hike through Torcal de Antequera. In a group of no more than eight, you’ll pick across rocky paths, spot ammonites, goats, and griffon vultures, and learn how the unusual stone shapes formed. Guides such as Alfonso and Alfredo lead at an easy to moderate pace.
“It was a little challenging but I like that very good guide knew all about the area he was very patient with everyone”
Leave Málaga with a small group of up to eight people and hike the 4.5-kilometer Ammonites Route at El Torcal de Antequera. A guide such as Justine leads you among sea fossils and weathered limestone formations. Transport takes you out by van, while your included bus ticket lets you return through Antequera on your chosen service.
“Justine was a great guide. The tour was well planned and very informativne. We have enjoyed every second of it. Highly recommended.”
Meet guide Alfonso in central Malaga for a small-group trip to Frigiliana. Walk about three hours through avocado plantations, crops, an old Arab irrigation canal, and the Sierra de Almijara before visiting the village and sharing local wine and tapas. The hike is easy overall, with one 20-meter stretch where your feet may enter the water.
“Excellent tour and Alfonso was a great tourguide. After the tour, Alfonso was willing to drop us off at different locations. Some back to the starting point, others to the beach and I was dropped at Nerja. After visiting the caves and the beach, i took the public bus back to Malaga.”
Pick the ground: fire, ice, water or one of the famous names.
