Marbella Food Tour with Tapas & Drinks with a Local

Are you ready to discover the taste of Marbella? Try tapas and dishes that are less commonly experienced by tourists as you learn about the origins of local cuisine. To begin, meet your guide at the lighthouse. During the Marbella food tour, visit the beautiful beach, where contemporary buildings house many restaurants. You'll also walk to the top of the hill and see where the city was born. After the experience, your knowledge about local food culture will be a lot deeper than before and your belly will be full and pleased. Possible tastings: - Pescaito frito: this is a mix of different kind of fish. Typically, they're anchovies, acedias, hake, calamari and shrimps. They're fried after being tarnished in flour. Once the fish is ready, salt and fresh lemon are added. - Potato tortilla: the Spanish potato tortilla is an international top seller, thanks to its adaptability as side dish, hot dish and starter. Our recipe includes onions, too. - Montadito de atun or jamón: A montadito is a small Spanish sandwich, typically made with a variety of fillings like meats, cheeses, or seafood, served on a slice of bread. - Carne con tomate: is a traditional Spanish dish made with beef, usually cut into cubes, simmered in a rich tomato sauce with onions, garlic, and spices. The dish is savory and comforting, often served with rice or potatoes. It's a popular home-cooked meal in Spain. - Anchovies in vinegar: the locals eat tons of anchovies per year. So, they are also named “boquerones”, that is a Spanish name for anchovies. - Croquetas caseras de jamón: the ingredients of these delicious croquettes with a typical oval shape are the bechamel sauce - which is made with flour, butter, milk and nutmeg -, salt, pepper, onion, EVO olive oil, ham, eggs and bread crumbs. Then, they're fried in hot oil. - Ice cream or turrón: you will eat a good ice cream, in cup or cone. This is an homemade ice cream, produced by one of the most historical and traditional ice cream shop in Marbella. Turrón, on the other hand, is a delightful nougat that captures the sweet essence of Spanish holiday traditions. This luxurious treat is typically made from a blend of almonds, honey, sugar, and egg whites, resulting in a chewy yet crunchy texture that’s simply irresistible.
