Start on the hillside
The Roman Theatre sits at the foot of the Alcazaba. If you add Gibralfaro, allow time for the climb and check the entrances for both sites.
From the city to the water
Head down to the Palmeral de las Sorpresas and Muelle Uno. If you have time left, carry on to La Malagueta.
Using Málaga as a base
The Caminito takes up almost the whole day with transfers. Nerja and Ronda are other possible trips, each with its own route.
How to split the visit
If the Caminito is your priority, give the first day to the centre and keep the second for the walkways. Staying in the same base saves moving your luggage on the day of the excursion.
