Marbella is without a doubt the Costa del Sol’s most iconic city, and its name is synonymous with luxury, glamour and exclusivity.

Boasting a unique atmosphere, the city has become home to thousands of foreigners from all over the world who came in search of the eternal summer of Andalusia. This multiculturalism is also reflected in a gastronomic scene that is difficult to match in any other corner of Spain.

But there is another side to Marbella: less extravagant, more authentic. This is the original Marbella, the one inhabited by Romans and Arabs, a glorious past whose traces can be found in every corner of the city’s old town.

A city with its own personality that boasts a gastronomy that’s entirely its own, forged between the sea and the mountains.

The Route

We’ll begin our tour in the central square of Iglesia de la Encarnación, and from there set off to discover the city’s old quarter. In Spain, it’s always “la hora del vermut” or vermouth o’clock, and what better place for a first stop to whet your appetite than a typical Andalusian tavern. The stars of the show here are the cold meats, Iberian pork, and PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) cheeses, all washed down with one of the tavern’s famous aperitif wines.

We’ll continue through the labyrinth of small, hidden squares and narrow white streets, admiring the flowers that we spot along the way, before stopping off at one of the restaurants and flamenco-style inns that dot the city centre, where the highlight is the traditional cuisine, inspired by the mountains. Hearty tapas in a friendly and welcoming environment.

Next, we’ll leave the historic quarter behind, while remaining still inside the city centre. Our next stop is Marbella’s Alameda Park, a small green oasis surrounded by countless bars and restaurants of all kinds, from the gastronomic classics that represent the best of traditional local cuisine, to modern establishments that introduce more avant-garde elements to their menus.

We’ll finish our itinerary very close to the city’s marina, in a typical mesón tavern where we can enjoy seafood fresh from the Mediterranean. Will you join us?

Our Marbella Food Tour serves enough food to be equivalent to a hearty lunch or dinner.

  • We are locals and love to eat! That’s why we would only take you to places that totally convince us and where we go with our friends and families. No tourist traps
  • Not all Tours are created equal. Our tours are not standardized, but a real reflection of the delicacies every season has to offer and the creativity of our chefs. We took much time and effort in designing the tours so you can enjoy delicious treats, discover hidden places and submerge in our (food) culture in local hideaways.
  • Feel welcome and like a local. We have great friendships and exclusive partnerships with restaurants, taverns, and market vendors.
  • Expert foodie guides. They truly are real professionals and experts on local cuisine!
  • Much more than wonderful food in interesting places. There’s more to it- it’s about the attitude, about getting a bit closer to our authentic culture and real people!

Although anytime is a good time to do a food tour, if it fits your schedule, it’s best to book the tour/class early on your trip because you’ll come out with lots of recommendations for other places to try and things to do.

There are no discounts for non-drinkers as in Spain, and specially in southern Spain non-acoholic drinks  normally cost  the same as beer or wine.
