About this tour

What to expect
Your guide meets you and sets the tone for the day — you decide whether you want a leisurely stroll with long tasting breaks or a brisk walk hitting more spots. You'll move between the main market and smaller taverns in the old town, stopping to taste dishes and drinks at each location. The guide presents each food with context: what makes it local, how it's prepared, its place in Andalusian tradition. You'll taste savoury items first — fish, ham, cheese, vegetables — then move toward sweets and drinks.
The tour wraps with Málaga gelato and a final glass of local wine or vermouth. Throughout, water is available, and the pace is yours — no rushing, no group dynamics pulling you elsewhere.

Good to know
This suits anyone curious about Andalusian food culture and flavour who prefers flexibility over a fixed itinerary. It works well for small groups (family, friends) who want a shared experience without strangers. Physical demands: the tour involves steady walking over 3 hours through market and town streets, so moderate fitness is needed. It's not recommended if you have cardiovascular concerns. The route is fully wheelchair accessible, and prams are fine for infants. Gratuities aren't included in the price. Peak times will be mid-morning and late afternoon; the market is busiest then. Public transport is nearby if you need it to reach the starting point.
