Description

Meet your local hosts at a private countryside venue near Málaga and step into the world of Andalusian home cooking, where traditions, stories, and shared meals are part of everyday life.

During this family friendly experience, you are guided by a local food expert and a Spanish grandmother, who introduce you to seasonal ingredients and the producers behind them, starting with an olive oil tasting and a walk through the olive grove.

You then roll up your sleeves for a hands on cooking class, preparing traditional recipes that change with the seasons, before sitting down to enjoy a generous table of local flavors. Cheeses, cured meats, breads, olives, fruits, and homemade pastries are served, with local wine for you and grape juice for the children.

Private, warm, and unhurried, this experience gives you time to cook, taste, and learn together. Children take part naturally, you gain insight into daily life in Southern Spain, and everyone leaves with lasting memories and a true sense of Andalusian food culture.
