What to expect
Your guide meets you and leads you through Malaga's food quarter, stopping at four or five different bars. Each one serves a different tapa—croquetas, jamón, seafood, local cheese, that sort of thing—paired with a drink. You're standing at high counters with builders and office workers, not sitting at tables. The guide explains what you're eating and why these places matter to the city. It moves at a relaxed pace; you're not rushing between stops. The oldest wine bar is genuinely old, with wooden counters worn smooth by decades of elbows.
Good to know
Book ahead if you have allergies or dietary restrictions—fish, shellfish, meat and gluten appear regularly. The tour involves walking on city streets and standing in bars. Prams are welcome; most venues have accessible entrances. Public transport nearby if you need it.
