Description
Explore Malaga’s authentic food scene on a small-group guided tour with up to 12 participants. Over three hours, visit at least four local stops to enjoy a full meal experience with drinks included. Your English-speaking guide shares the traditions and stories behind each dish and the city’s culture.
Begin with pescadito frito, a mix of fresh fish lightly battered and fried, reflecting Malaga’s coastal heritage. Taste anchovies in vinegar (boquerones), marinated for a balanced tangy and savory flavor. Continue with pincho de pulpo, a grilled octopus skewer seasoned with olive oil, sea salt, and paprika, then sample albóndigas en salsa — meatballs simmered in herb-infused tomato sauce. Depending on availability, you may also try carrillada (braised pork or beef cheeks) or chivo malagueño, a traditional goat dish with rich local seasonings.
The tasting tour continues with ensaladilla rusa, a Spanish potato salad with tuna, vegetables, and mayonnaise, sometimes enhanced with shrimp or eggs. End with local sweets such as locas de Málaga, cream-filled pastries, or pionono, sponge cake rolled with custard and syrup flavored with cinnamon. This tour delivers a focused taste of Malaga’s culinary and cultural heritage.
