Description

Set in a private venue in the Málaga countryside, this family friendly cooking experience celebrates Andalusian cuisine through tradition, storytelling, and shared moments around the table. Designed to highlight seasonal ingredients and local producers, it offers a deeper connection to what people truly eat in Southern Spain.
Guided by a local food expert and a Spanish grandmother, families begin with an olive oil tasting and a walk through the olive grove. They then take part in a hands on cooking class, preparing traditional dishes that change with the seasons. The experience continues with a generous tasting of local products, including cheeses, cured meats, breads, olives, fruits, and homemade pastries, accompanied by local wine for adults and grape juice for children.
Private and welcoming, this experience invites families to slow down, learn together, and share authentic flavors. Children participate naturally, parents gain cultural insight, and everyone leaves with a deeper appreciation for Andalusian food traditions.
