15 min

Old-Town Tapas Bar

Proceed down one of the narrowest lanes in the old town to one of Marbella's oldest tapas bars, operating since the 1950s. The first glass of cava is served alongside tastings of the award-winning Ensaladilla Rusa and homemade chicken-and-ham croquetas.

40 min

Family-Run Ham and Cheese

Visit a cosy, family-run taberna located in a lane near Orange Square. Iberian bellota ham is hand-carved and served with Payoyo cheese, Spain's most awarded cheese made in the Sierra de Cadiz from payoya goat milk. These are paired with a chilled, crisp Verdejo wine, combining two mountain flavors with centuries of history.

Jerez-Style Bodega Finale

The last stop is a traditional Jerez-style bodega with dark wood decor and hams hanging overhead. The evening concludes with a glass of red wine served alongside mojama de atun, which consists of red tuna cured with salt from the Cadiz coast, and gambas al pil-pil, shrimp cooked in garlic.
