6 Antequera & El Torcal Trips from Málaga Worth The Day

1.Torcal de Antequera Hiking Tour from Málaga

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 59 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $66.38Our pick

Small-group Torcal de Antequera hike from Malaga with guided geology, fossils, goats and vultures, plus transport and admission.

“My spouse and I greatly enjoyed this trip. I liked that it was a small group, just 8 of us. Our guide was knowledgeable and fun and the trip departed right on time. The route is manageable for most people (one couple with us was over age 75) yet challenging enough to not be boring. You'll witness some incredible landscapes unlike anything I've seen anywhere else in the world. Truly incredible. I think this is a great trip if you want to do something unique in Malaga and have already experienced the Caminito Del Rey. I think the price was fair given the small group and top quality overall.”

Private 3-hour English hike from Málaga to El Torcal de Antequera with a local guide, photo stops, and time to explore Antequera.

“Unfortunately the weather was not kind to us and it was not possible to see much of El Torcal. But Anton, our guide, was wonderful. After gallantly battling with the elements, he accepted the inevitable and arranged an alternative tour of Antequara on the fly which was informative and interesting. Anton is a great asset to your company.”

4.Antequera Old Town & El Torcal Experience from Málaga

★★★★★★★★★★3.7 · 5 reviews · 7 hours · from $177

Guided day trip from Málaga to Antequera and El Torcal, mixing old-town history, palaeolithic dolmens, and a moderate karst hike.

“El taxista que nos hizo el recorrido, fenomenal, un profesional y una persona estupenda, pero la guía de Antequera no se presentó y en su lugar otra guía de un free tour se ofreció a llevarnos en su recorrido y así pudimos conocer la ciudad. No nos parece lógico que no se presente y que tengamos que depender de que a ella le vaya bien ir o no ir a su trabajo sin avisar, después de haber pagado un alto precio por la excursión.”
