Photo quests in Málaga

What the catalogue actually holds here, and which of it is worth rearranging a day around.

Málaga holds twelve quests across every category the catalogue keeps, led by Food with three — though only just, with two in History behind it.

Two of them are tier 1 — finds rather than fixtures, and the one tier whose check-in asks for PRO; the other ten are open on any plan. Tier 3 covers nine of them, which is the label for what a visitor would expect a travel app to have anyway.

A food quest names the dish rather than the restaurant: the pin sits on the room that serves it, but what you are going for is the plate. History here means places where something happened and the ground still shows it, which is also where the famous version and the standing version most often part company. Every check-in works the same way: the geotag your camera wrote into the photo has to land within 200 m of the quest's own point.

By category

Each of these opens the whole category across every city, with the Málaga quests among them.

Tier 1

The unexpected ones

The two quests in Málaga the catalogue files as finds rather than fixtures — the half of a city a guidebook has no room for.

Questions

About quests in Málaga

How many photo quests are there in Málaga?
12, across all seven categories the catalogue uses. The deepest groups are Food (3), History (2) and Nature (2). Among them: Alcazaba, Málaga Park and Automobile Museum.
What is there to do in Málaga beyond the obvious?
2 of the 12 quests in Málaga are tier 1, which is the catalogue's own mark for a find rather than a landmark: the pipeline that writes it is told that tier 3 is "everything a visitor would expect a travel app to have", and that tiers 1 and 2 are "only the unexpected finds". Málaga holds two at tier 1, one at tier 2 and nine at tier 3. The tier 1 quests here are Automobile Museum and English Cemetery, which fall under History and Art.
Can you do all the Málaga quests on one trip?
Yes, given a few days. Every one of the 12 falls within 4.4 km of the middle of the Málaga list — walking and local transport, not day trips — so this is a list to plan a visit around rather than a reason to extend one.
Which Málaga quests can you do for free?
10 of the 12 can be checked in on the free plan, and all 12 can be read and travelled to without paying anything — the catalogue is open signed out, on every plan. PRO covers the check-in on the hardest tier, which in Málaga means two quests: Automobile Museum and English Cemetery.
How do I prove I visited a place in Málaga?
Take the photo at the place and upload it. Your browser reads the location the camera wrote into that file and measures it against the quest's own coordinates; inside 200 m the check-in counts. The distance is measured to the point, not to the city: being in Málaga is not what is checked, and a photo taken across town from Alcazaba fails exactly the way one taken at home does. A file with no location in it cannot be checked at all, and a photo that has been through a messaging app usually arrives that way — upload the original out of the camera roll rather than a copy someone sent back to you. The Food quests in Málaga sit on the room where the dish is served rather than on the dish, so that address is what the 200 m is measured from.
