You arrive in Málaga and the Mediterranean sun immediately sets a tempo: warm light on white village walls, the low murmur of a town that prefers evening to midday. Guides from Toro Blanco Active Holidays meet you at arrivals and, over a transfer through orange groves, the itinerary unfolds—eight days of road and village lanes that stitch Málaga to Granada, Guadix and the limestone towers of Torcal de Antequera.
