Description

Malaga’s food scene is legendary, but it’s the seafood that truly sets it apart. On this guided tour, you’ll explore the rich maritime heritage behind the local cuisine. As Fernando, one of our expert guides, says, “Seafood is everywhere here, but not many tourists understand its cultural roots. This tour shows you a side of Malaga few get to see.”

After meeting your guide, you’ll walk along the scenic seafront to a traditional fishing neighborhood. There, you’ll learn about Malaga’s deep fishing traditions and meet local fishermen. You’ll also visit the Casa de Baños, a heritage site showcasing early 20th-century fishing methods.

Then it’s time to taste. You’ll watch a live demo of espetos, fish skewered on wooden sticks and roasted over an open beach fire. Finally, enjoy these coastal flavours as you dine by the water. It’s an authentic, delicious experience that goes beyond the typical tourist trail.
