What you'll do

Explore Málaga's historic city center a little differently with a private treasure hunt for adults or kids, whether you're with friends, your partner, or family. Forget the typical walking tour—this activity includes fun activities, hidden clues, and puzzles to solve as you learn about the city's history, culture, and architecture. 

You'll start by meeting your host in the city center at Plaza de la Constitución. You'll receive a brief introduction and all the equipment you'll need for your treasure hunt, including a GPS device, an adventure kit, a treasure book, bottled water, and a few gadgets. With all your tools in hand and plenty of clues to help you move around Málaga, you'll set off to explore the city at your own pace.

Your treasure hunt route will take you to and by some of the city's most important sites. Enjoy viewing places like the stunning Alcazaba Moorish castle, Picasso statue, and Teatro Romano (Roman theater). You'll stroll through squares like Plaza de Merced and along streets like Calle Larios. Of course, you can't miss the famous Atarazanas Market, Cathedral, Cervantes theater, and Museum Carmen Thyssen, among other monuments and sites.

At each location, you'll use your adventure kit to look for hidden clues and solve puzzles. Learn all about these iconic places with the help of your treasure book. Of course, take your time and stop along the way to have a coffee break, cool down with some ice cream, or grab a snack.

At the end of the hunt, you'll reach the final station, the clue being "the magical gardens." Here you'll find a personalized treasure chest, which you can open with all the clues you solved!

This experience was so much fun and a great way to explore Málaga, especially with kids. It combined sightseeing with interactive elements that kept everyone engaged, while also sharing interesting facts and history about the city. The treasure hunt format made walking through the city center feel like an adventure, and the treasure box at the end was a perfect and exciting reward.

We also had some major flight delays, and the team was incredibly flexible and accommodating. They worked with our schedule to reschedule the activity so we could still experience it before the end of our trip, which we really appreciated.

Our guide was fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable, and full of great insights about Málaga that added even more value to the experience. Overall, this is a fun, engaging, and family-friendly way to see the city. Highly recommend!

Tips for future travelers

Be prepared to walk, as this is a true 3-hour experience that involves moving around the city and a bit of patience as you navigate and search for clues. It’s part of what makes it fun and interactive, but it’s good to go in with that expectation. Stick with it! Our guide mentioned that some travelers (especially Americans) tend to want to quit after a few clues, but the experience really builds as you go. If you commit to it, it’s absolutely worth it. Go in with a sense of curiosity and play, and you’ll get so much more out of it. It’s a fun and different way to explore the city!
