Description
Good to Know
Marbella's original tapas food tour — the first of its kind, running since 2018, and still the most reviewed food tour in the city.
Plenty of tours have followed. Only one started it. Across 3 hours, your local guide walks you through the Old Town's whitewashed lanes to three traditional taverns the guidebooks miss — the places locals actually eat.
Taste award-winning Ensaladilla Rusa at Marbella's oldest tapas bar, hand-carved Iberian bellota ham with Payoyo, Spain's most awarded cheese, the day's fresh catch and salt-cured Cádiz tuna, with a different Andalusian wine at every stop.
Between bites, discover Orange Square, hidden plazas and the bronze Dalí sculptures, and the stories behind them.
Small groups. Real food. Real history, and more five-star reviews than any other food tour in Marbella.
Book the original, and taste the Marbella that locals keep to themselves.

Plaza de Los Naranjos
We gather in Marbella's 15th-century Orange Square, by the fountain beside the little Ermita de Santiago chapel. Your local guide sets the scene with the story of the old town — the Casa del Corregidor and the town hall around us — before the tasting begins.

Down one of the old town's narrowest lanes to one of Marbella's oldest tapas bars, pouring since the 1950s. First glass of cava in hand, we taste the award-winning Ensaladilla Rusa and home-made chicken-and-ham croquetas.

Calle Pantaleón
A cosy, family-run taberna tucked into a lane just off Orange Square. We hand-carve Iberian bellota ham and set it beside Payoyo — Spain's most awarded cheese, made high in the Sierra de Cadiz from the milk of the native payoya goat — and wash it all down with a crisp, chilled Verdejo. Two mountain flavours, centuries in the making, on one plate.

Just do it, you won‘t regret
Christian knows Marbella like the back of his hand; he’ll show you restaurants you wouldn’t otherwise find and tell you all about the city. He’ll tailor the tour to your needs—just ask. He’s very friendly, pleasant, and down-to-earth. For a special walking experience, ask for Pablo 🐕 ;)
