About this tour
Learn to cook authentic paella and arroz from scratch at a family-run finca nestled in the Montes de Malaga, surrounded by organic olive and almond groves. Over three hours, you'll work with seasonal, home-grown ingredients, taste local olive oil and sherry, then sit down to eat what you've made. The setting shifts between a vine-draped terrace with mountain views or a cosy kitchen with a log fire depending on the weather. Bookings are private-group only, keeping things intimate.

What to expect
You'll arrive at the finca and get a walk-through of how to build each dish from fundamentals—rice selection, stock, timing, the lot. The host guides you through prep and cooking without hovering. Midway through, you'll taste the estate's olive oil and sherry to understand how they fit into the broader food picture. Once your paella is ready, you'll move to either the open terrace (weather permitting) or the farmhouse kitchen and eat together with wine and tapas. Expect a relaxed pace; this isn't a race against the clock.
Good to know
Minimum two people per booking. No private transport included, but public options are nearby. Let them know about dietary requirements or allergies ahead of time. The physical demands are moderate—standing, chopping, stirring—so those with heart concerns should check first.
