A spring breeze off the port tugs at your jacket as you stand in Plaza de la Marina, phone in hand. The first clue appears and the city opens like a folded map: a narrow street, a painted facade, a tavern door that smells of sherry and frying fish. This is not a regular walking tour—it's a two-hour urban puzzle that makes Málaga's 19th-century streets feel like a living board game.
