Marbella Original Food Tour: Tapas, Wine & Old Town with a Local

About this activity

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.
