Tight morning frame across Plaza de la Constitucion in Malaga, Spain, sunlit ochre render and wrought-iron balconies filling the middle, café chairs stacked askew

Along the way the guide covers the city's Phoenician, Roman and Muslim roots, the Alcazaba and the Roman Theatre standing side by side, the Cathedral known locally as La Manquita and its unfinished story, and the Malaga of Picasso, where art and history meet. Darker material is part of the mix too, with the narrow streets of the Inquisition period and their legends, alongside the Golden Age story of Larios street. The guide's own description promises both sides of the city, the famous and the forgotten, plus curiosities not found in guidebooks.

The page addresses itself to visitors whether it is a first visit or the streets are already familiar, promising a fresh look at the city either way. There is no pickup, so everyone makes their own way to the fountain.

Sarah, GuruWalk review of Walkie Talkie Art And Secrets Walk

Money on the day. Booking is free and guests pay the guide what they think the walk was worth at the end, in the words of the GuruWalk page. The amount is the walker's own choice.
Route scope. The GuruWalk page shows the first 3 stops of a route it says runs to 11. Expect the walk to continue beyond Bishop's Square rather than ending there.
Getting there. No pickup is included, so travel to Plaza de la Constitucion independently. The meeting point sits in the Distrito Centro, with the address given on the page.

Common issues. The GuruWalk page names only the first three of eleven stops, so the full route is not published in advance and walkers cannot map every stop beforehand. There is no pickup, which means anyone staying outside the centre has to arrange their own transport to the fountain.
