Greetings, My name is Mahy. I am so glad that you are looking into my profile because this means that you are choosing Malaga and it's surroundings for your vacations. I would love to share with you my passion for my region. Learn what you can do in Malaga: watch our video I moved to Malaga in 1981 with my parents, leaving the Iranian revolution behind. We moved to England and 2 years later we ended up in Malaga. When I was young, I was not aware of how fortunate I was to live and grow up in this spot. Now I know, this is my little paradise and I am so lucky to be able to give a taste of the beauty of my region with travellers from all over the world. The capital city of Malaga, the Costa Del Sol and its inland villages have changed considerably since I arrived. Fishermans villages and agricultural lands have progressed into a tourism destination with better infrastructures and much better service. Nonetheless, we still have the essence and the innocence of the old times. It is wonderful to look back acknowledging the past to shape the present of Malaga region.

Overview of your Malaga tour

Malaga is a beautiful city of great history and culture; cosmopolitan and active. It is seaworthy and tradition. We will start discovering Malaga with our five senses at the local indoor market. A place where I usually buy the best fresh fish and socialize with the owners of the stands. I would love to present them to you. Let's walk from Malaga's modern boulevard "Calle Larios" strolling through the old narrow winding streets that lead us to the majestic Renaissance Style Cathedral which we call "The One Armed Lady". A short distance away , the XI century Moorish palatial fortification and the I B. C. Roman Theatre. We will walk inside it while others only see it from the distance. As the city of Picasso's birthplace, let me take you to his house and to the square that saw him grow while playing happily. During our walk through the city enjoy a friendly moment with me tasting some tapas and the local wines. There are traditions that only a local can share with you.

Our family of six, including a toddler, had a wonderful walking tour of Malaga with Mahy, and the tapas at El Pimpi were so scrumptious. She is so kind and knowledgeable and took great care of us. Cheers and a big THANKS, Mahy.

Mahy was an awesome guide on the history, culture and food of Malaga. She is also super friendly and down to earth. It was a pleasure to spend the day (or half day) with her and to see and learn about Malaga.

We very much enjoyed our half day walking tour with Mahy. She met us at Malaga cruise terminal 5 minutes early, ans gave us an easy paced walking tour of the main highlights of the old town. Her commentary was expertly informed and our tapas break at the end was delightful. We could not have asked for more. We highly recommend Mahy to everyone visiting Malaga and region.
