Start at the Teatro Romano, the 1st-century Roman theatre uncovered at the foot of the Alcazaba — a quick, free stop that sets the scene.

Finish a few blocks away at the Catedral de Málaga, "La Manquita", where a kids-only audio tour tells the funny side of the building's history. The three sit within a few hundred metres of one another, so this is one relaxed morning on foot rather than a day of criss-crossing the city — ideal with children, and best done early before the summer heat.
