What to expect

Starting by the University of Málaga building on Avenida de Cervantes, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and head for the old town. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city.

Calle Alcazabilla delivers the opening spectacle: a Roman theatre at street level with the Moorish Alcazaba climbing the hill behind it. Riddles span fifteen centuries in fifty metres.

The Catedral de Málaga follows — 'La Manquita', the little one-armed lady, famously missing her second tower. Trivia investigates where the money went.

Then Plaza de la Merced buzzes with café life around the obelisk, steps from the house where Picasso was born and first picked up a pencil.

Around two hours of sunshine and centuries. Winner picks the tapas bar.
