Join us on an epicurean journey in Marbella’s Municipal Market under the guidance of our ‘local expert’, and immerse yourself in the deeply rooted culinary traditions of Andalusia.
This gastronomic adventure will take you to 4 unique venues where 9 to 10 genuine Spanish tapas dishes will be served, complemented by 3 beverages of your liking.
Here’s a taste of what you’ll experience:
-Indulge in the delectable ‘bocata’ that draws Michellin-starred chef Dany Garcia to the market.
-Select the ‘fish of the day’ from Paco, an artisan fishmonger-turned-cook, who prepares it with the flair of a Le Cordon Bleu chef.
-Relish some Malaga produce so delightful yet not found in supermarkets because they don’t transport well!
On this journey, you’ll not only taste irresistible tapas and sip local wines, but also connect with the inspired entrepreneurs who’ve launched food businesses to keep local markets as vibrant centers of Spanish culture.

Wait for me at the fountain, at the side of the plaza by the small church called Ermita de Santiago

Fresh, local, traditional food - I love food markets! The food market of Marbella is amazing. It has every kind of fresh fruit, vegetable, meat, fish, spice and pastry that you can imagine. I cannot stress enough how fresh the food is. This is where the local restaurants go for their provisions.
The unique thing about this food market is that it has little restaurants scattered within it. Our guide took us to several of them each serving entirely different items. We had a great selection of local favorites while learning the background of each.
Gina was a wonderful tour guide. She was enthusiastic about the market and the foods we were tasting. Her enthusiasm was contagious.
We had a very enjoyable time.

Foodie market tour - After several visits to Marbella, my friends and I decided to get off our sun beds and do something more interesting.
Taste of Marbella market your seemed to fit the bill.
Linda was our guide and she was brilliant, giving us a brief history of Marbella before taking us to its market.
We were intro to several stall holders and sampled beautiful ham, cheese fish and sausage, all accompanied by appropriate wines.
What a fantastic way to spend 3 hours!

Lovely Tour, Lovely Food - A great experience for lunch on this tour! Gina (our guide) was both knowledgeable and great fun! The experience was super for myself and my Mum (who couldn't walk far). An advantage of this tour is that whether you are on wheels or foot, this tour is accessible and just as much fun. Food and paired drinks were wonderful combinations. The great thing about this experience is it can be enjoyed in hot weather or rain (the latter is a very rare experience in Marbella I appreciate) given it's under cover and air conditioned. Definitely come to this tour hungry...
