About this tour
A three-hour cooking class and village walk in Comares, a hilltop Moorish settlement in Andalucía. You'll start with coffee in the plaza, explore narrow cobbled streets with a guide, then cook seasonal dishes—paella, bread—at a local home using artisanal ingredients. Lunch, sherry and wine included. Suits food-focused travellers keen on hands-on cooking and Spanish cultural context, though the terrain is steep and physically demanding.

What to expect
You'll meet in Comares village plaza for coffee, then set out on a walking tour of the hillside streets with a guide who'll point out historical features and landmarks. After 60–90 minutes of exploration, you'll head to a local home kitchen where the hands-on cooking begins. Expect to prepare paella and bread under guidance, working with fresh, local ingredients. The session moves at a relaxed pace with breaks for sherry and tapas. Once cooking is done, you'll sit down together to eat what you've made, sharing the meal family-style with other participants.

Good to know
This suits cooks or food enthusiasts who want to learn authentic Andalucian technique and meet locals, and travellers drawn to cultural immersion over tourist polish. Fair warning: Comares sits on a steep hillside with uneven cobbled streets and multiple flights of stairs — not suitable for those with mobility issues, poor fitness, or cardiovascular concerns. The walk is moderately strenuous. Infants must sit on an adult's lap (no high chairs mentioned). Service animals are welcome. The three-hour window includes both walking and cooking, so pacing is moderate rather than leisurely. Lunch, beverages (coffee, tea, wine, sherry) and water are included; nothing else is.
