The Province of Málaga is one of the best places to learn the art of speleology, also known as potholing, which means exploring underground caves. This is the perfect adventure for those seeking thrills, beauty, and exercise. The scenery in this area of Spain is truly breathtaking and there's hundreds of trails on the Costa del Sol to explore. Take guided tours at places like Cueva del Gato in the Sierra de Grazalema Nature Park. If it's your first-time potholing, Excéntrica and Fuensanta in the Genal valley are highly recommended for their stunning landscapes and variety of techniques.

Rhonda is in the heart of Spain's wine country with an impressive 21 vineyards. Many were cultivated by Phoenicians, Romans, and Moors thousands of years ago. Take the time to explore the wine route known as Serranía de Ronda and you will have a jaw dropping experience with all its magnificent landscapes. Descalzos Viejos Winery is a great place to begin this journey as it dates to the sixteenth century when it was a Trinitarian monastery. You'll be amazed at the gardens, orchards, and frescoes that surround the vineyard. The tour includes sampling the delicious wines that are produced on site.

Andalusian cuisine has much to offer the gastronomic tourist. The food is based on the rustic natural ingredients the locals glean from its mountainous location. You'll be introduced to eggs scrambled with asparagus, mushrooms, lentils, and homemade cheese. Delicious soups of tomato, beans, and vegetables for appetisers. And Migas consists of fried breadcrumbs coupled with chorizo and peppers flavoured with local spices. Splurge on a night out at Tragabuches, a Michelin star restaurant featuring tasting platters with interesting dishes of oxtail ravioli, mashed chestnuts, rondeñas gazpacho sorbet, and more. The wine is exceptional as well.

In Ronda, immerse yourself in the nostalgia of centuries gone, beginning with the Puente Nuevo overlooking El Tajo Gorge cut by the river Gaudelvin. Stroll the cobblestone streets of the historical centre admiring the three civilizations, Roman, Phoenician, and Moor as they left their mark in the architecture. The 16th century convent was converted into an art museum filled with fascinating artefacts gleaned from these three civilizations. A visit to Acinipo, 'city of wine', uncovers Rome's source for the treasured elixir thousands of years ago, a first century Roman theatre and ancient houses.

Aventurate Sierra de las Nieves offers a 4-hour adrenaline pumping adventure into the wild canyons of Sierra de las Nieves's natural park. This outing will work up your appetite. So, venture over to Bar de Antonio for home cooked dishes accompanied by delicious libations and dessert to get refreshed.

Rhonda's Wine Museum, originally part of the 'Giant's House' collection, is a special treat displaying archaeological artefacts of Iberians, Romans, and Moors that occupied Málaga. Notice the instructional panels revealing the fine art of wine tasting, learn the secrets of winemaking, and view the grape treading pools to the wine in the wine cellar.

Head out to the San Miguel Quarter where you'll find the Arabic Baths built in the late 1200s.

Enjoy the pillars and stone floors in the Arabic style emanating the royal culture of King Abomelik's reign.

At Plaza de Toros the Real Maestranza bullring boasts the oldest picturesque bullring built in 1785.

Take the guided audio tour and feel the history as you walk around this colossal space and peruse the museum.

The Palacio Mondragón features spectacular gardens originating in 1314, ordered by Moorish King Abomelik and a museum. King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella resided in the palace too.
