¡Hola amigos! 😀 Welcome to Malaga, one of the most captivating cities in Southern Spain! Thank you for visiting my profile and showing interest in a Malaga, which embodies the essence of any Andalusian adventure. Bio: My name is Roland, and I was raised in Spain. I spent my early years in adventurous East Africa before settling in the sunny Canary Islands in 1976, shortly after the passing of General Franco. After nearly ten years in Gran Canaria, I decided to move to Málaga to pursue my studies in Tourism. At the time, I could hardly imagine it, but moving to Málaga turned out to be the best decision of my life. While living there, I fell in love with a charming Mediterranean woman, who became one of the main reasons I chose to make Málaga my permanent home. I truly adore this country, and after more than four decades living in different parts of the province, I can honestly say that I feel I am living in paradise.

I began my journey after completing my degree in Tourism and Travel Services Management in La Costa Del Sol.

They now collaborate with me as unique suppliers, adding their own touch of essence to the custom-designed tours I offer.

"All these experiences have left an indelible mark on my heart and soul. Let me share these memories with you and show you how to truly live like a local. " Brief history: Throughout history, Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Greeks, Vandals, Visigoths, Arabs, Moors, and even Napoleon have left their remarkable and incredible imprints on our country. This rich tapestry of cultures is what makes Andalucía so exquisitely unique to me! "By the way, I am an easy-going, flexible, and knowledgeable person. However, when it comes to designing tours, I am serious and dedicated to providing you with the most fulfilling experiences.

Roland made the long drive from Granada to Alhambra both relaxing and interesting. He shared his vast knowledge of history and culture of the region, which helped pass the time, easily. Roland is a conscientious and safe driver and made a great travel companion. As we toured Alhambra, Roland explained the various historic periods in an easy to understand manner. An excellent guide !

Everything about our experience was incredible. The ride from Malaga to Granada is dramatic, and Roland taught us so much about the region along the way. The Alhambra is stunning and Roland's knowledge of its history, the significance of every architectural detail, and the layout of the grounds was truly impressive. To top it all off, he has a great delivery so you felt more like you were chatting with a friend as opposed to being lectured to.

Roland was a fantastic guide. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. His knowledge of Alhambra and the sites in Granada was comprehensive, his English was exceptional and his personality was pleasant and enjoyable. Alhambra is a must see; what a beautiful site. We highly recommend this tour and Roland!

We had a great tour of The Alhambra today in Grenada with Roland as our guide and Maria as our driver. We were met promptly at the ship for the tour. Roland was very knowledgeable, and we learned a lot about the Moorish Palace. The groups only "complaint" was no free time in Granada for a bit of trinket shopping. I perhaps was not clear we wanted that. Roland was focused on getting us back to the ship 2 hours early. Don't hesitate to book a tour with Roland! Thanks for a great day.

Roland was a very experienced and helpful guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area from Malaga to Granada and his enthusiasm about the history of the Alhambra was inspiring. We would recommend Roland to anyone looking for a guide who knows his area and speaks perfect English.
