Frequently asked questions
Want a romantic walk with a twist?
Play Highlights of Málaga around sunset. Chase clues through the oldest tavern, stand by the Alcazaba at golden hour, and follow the story of Juan and Rosalia—it’s love, mystery, and history mixed together.
Good for families and curious kids too?
Yes! Kids enjoy pretending to find Rosalia, looking for the Cenachero sculpture, or spotting hidden alleys. The path is walkable, breaks are easy to take, and the mix of drama + tradition keeps it fun.
Is this quest worth doing for a group hangout?
Totally. Split into pairs or small teams, compare clues, laugh over guesses, and explore together. Highlights of Málaga has enough puzzles and historic spots to keep a gang entertained for ~2-3 hours.
Don’t speak Spanish well—will I still get it?
Yes. The quest is in English, clues are visual, and many stops (Alcazaba, Mercado Central) you can see without needing to translate. The story does the work for you.
Best time of day to play this quest?
Morning is great to avoid heat, but late afternoon or early evening gives the task some beautiful light. The shadows get long, the streets calm, and Málaga’s colors glow—it adds magic to the hunt.
