About this tour
A 4-hour hands-on tapas class in Malaga where you'll cook alongside local chefs, starting with a market visit to source fresh ingredients before preparing signature dishes like Ajoblanco Malagueño and Tortilla de Patatas.

What to expect
You'll begin at a local Malaga market where your guide will walk you through selecting fresh, seasonal produce — a chance to learn what goes into authentic Spanish cooking. Once back at the kitchen space, you'll work alongside the chef to prepare several tapas dishes, getting hands-on with techniques specific to the region. The class covers both the history and practical making of iconic dishes, with explanations in English (or your language, depending on the group). Lunch and drinks are served partway through or at the end so you can taste what you've made.
The workshop wraps up with a chance to pack up your apron and take it home. Because it's interactive rather than demonstration-based, you'll do the cooking yourself — not just watch and taste.

Good to know
This works well for food enthusiasts who want to cook rather than just eat, or anyone curious about Spanish culinary traditions beyond the tourist version. No prior cooking experience is required. The market visit means some standing and walking; check the pacing with the operator if mobility is a concern. Malaga's summer heat can make the market bustling and warm. The class accommodates dietary needs, so mention restrictions when booking. Public transport is nearby if you're not driving; private transfers aren't included. The 4-hour duration is front-loaded with activity, so energy and focus help. Group size isn't specified — confirm if you prefer smaller numbers.
