Original Marbella Tapas Adventure
Overview
Embrace your inner foodie! Indulge in an eclectic array of traditional Andalusian tapas and wine on this insider’s food adventure in Marbella’s Old quarter.
But to avoid the tourist traps (and there are plenty of them!), you’ll need to find a local who can take you to the foodie spots that locals themselves are shouting about. That’s where we come in!
On this 3-hour walking food tour, our local expert takes you to some of the city’s best and most traditional tapas bars and taverns.
From the oldest tapas bar in Marbella serving an award-winning Ensaladilla Rusa to the freshest catch of the day to a classic “taverna gaditana” so charming, you won’t be able to resist coming back.
You’ll stop at traditional and unexpected places that you won’t find in the guidebooks. Plus you’ll learn about the history and culture of Marbella as you walk.
We recommend you arrive hungry and curious. And don’t forget to make some space in your phone for all the charming photos you’ll want to take!

Loved this as a way to taste a variety of things I likely would not have ordered on my own. Highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to spend a few hours having fun while learning a bit and having some tasty nibbles along the way.Kevin_G

Our guide Gina was excellent. She was very pleasant and knowledgeable not only about Tapas but about the area of Marbella. When we visit Marbella again, we hope to meet up with Gina for a second visit as it was a very enjoyable evening.
