Malaga Tapas Cooking Class

About this tour

Learn to cook four signature Málaga tapas from a local chef over three and a half hours. You'll work hands-on through traditional recipes, taste cold-pressed oils and regional wines, then eat what you've made. The class balances technique with the Spanish art of tapear—the social ritual of grazing small plates. No kitchen experience needed; just bring appetite and curiosity.

Highlights

• Prepare four traditional Andalusian tapas from scratch
• Taste extra virgin olive oil varieties and local wines
• Learn the culture of tapear, not just cooking
• Eat your creations with paired wine or beer
• Sample roasted almonds and seasonal fruit

What to expect

You'll gather in a teaching kitchen where the instructor walks you through each recipe step-by-step, with everyone prepping ingredients and cooking together. Expect hands-on work—chopping, sautéing, plating—rather than demonstration-only. The pace is relaxed; you're there to understand technique and tradition, not rush. Midway through, you'll taste oils and discuss their differences. By the end, you'll sit down to enjoy your four tapas alongside wine or beer, discussing flavour and how these dishes fit into Málaga's eating culture.
