¡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. Throughout my career, I have had the pleasure of meeting outstanding professionals in this industry, many of whom have become dear friends. They now collaborate with me as unique suppliers, adding their own touch of essence to the custom-designed tours I offer.

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. However, when it comes to designing tours, I am serious and dedicated to providing you with the most fulfilling experiences. " What you can do while in Malaga: I offer full-day tours to Tangier from Malaga, Granada from Malaga, Alhambra from Marbella, Seville, Ronda from Marbella, Cordoba from Malaga, hiking to Caminito del Rey, as well as half-day tours of Malaga, Mijas, or Marbella.

Overview of your Malaga tour

Join me on an enriching journey with our captivating Full-Day Tour, where I'll whisk you away from your accommodation in Malaga, Marbella, or anywhere along the enchanting Costa del Sol. As we traverse the breathtaking landscapes en route to Ronda, I'll delve into one of my passions: the enthralling tapestry of history and bullfighting. While it's undeniable that bullfighting stirs contemporary controversy and faces a future with dwindling days, its legacy remains a vivid portrayal of fervent emotions and artistry. As an aficionado, I'm eager to regale you with the intricate saga of bullfighting, spanning from the noble breeding of the bull to the rigorous training of the matador. Let me unveil the allure of Ronda, a haven once cherished by Romantic Travelers such as Richard Ford, Prosper Mérimée, and Rilke.

Roland was an incredible guide. We had a thoroughly delightful day in Ronda. Roland navigated the windy, scenic route from Marbella to Ronda with ease and comfort. He is an excellent driver. More so, Roland has a wealth of knowledge to share about the area, the history and the bullfights. In particular, we especially enjoyed the history of bullfighting as seen in the museum and via the stories from Roland. We appreciated his suggestion for lunch. It was one of the best luncheons we have had so far on our trip. He knows the area!! We would highly recommend Roland and thank him for an outstanding day.

We traveled with Roland to Ronda & Tangiers in December of 2018. We enjoyed the tours so much that when we visited this year with our family we wanted to tour with him. Roland was very flexible and accommodating [and the TBL staff were very helpful] when we had to make adjustments. Roland is very knowledgeable about the history of Ronda. He made the tour interesting to our diverse group (even the children) as we walked around this town built "on" a gorge. We especially enjoyed the bull-fighting ring.

Roland is an excellent guide, interesting, knowledge, friendly and very professional. He took our family of 4 on a day trip to Ronda and customized so we could visit a local Winery for tapas and wine tasting. His Audi car was very comfortable and the day was perfect. We would highly recommend.

Roland was early to pick us up with a clean and comfortable car. His driving is excellent. He is very knowledgable about the history and the current state of Ronda. We had a wonderful time and will call him again for our next tour.
