¡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.

Being an adopted Malagueño, I am eager to show you the impressive and unique wonders of this region, engaging in discussions about its agriculture, nature, landscapes, gastronomy, tapas, legends, lifestyle, and history. "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.

Allow me, as an experienced and fully qualified private guide, to introduce you to one of Andalusia’s greatest treasures: the Alhambra and the Generalife Gardens. Often hailed as the Eighth Wonder of the World, this magnificent Moorish palace complex truly deserves its reputation. You will step into the intimate world of Boabdil—the last Sultan of Granada—exploring the royal chambers, the enchanting courtyards, and the iconic Court of the Lions, each corner echoing centuries of art, history, and elegance. But the experience doesn’t end there. We will also have time to delve into the heart of Granada’s old town, wandering through the hidden corners of the historic Medina—places known only to locals and rich with authentic charm. Granada is one of my absolute favourite cities, and I’m sure it will become one of yours too! *Admission to the Alhambra is included. Please remember to bring a valid passport, as it is required for entry into the complex.
