Overview

Eat your way from Marbella’s Moorish castle walls to the Mediterranean shore, with 9 tastings, local drinks and a guide who knows the town beyond the yachts and beach clubs. Start with churros dipped in thick hot chocolate, a Marbella classic, then wind through the whitewashed lanes of the Casco Antiguo for chilled salmorejo and a cold Victoria beer.
At a traditional old town tavern, settle in for carne con patatas, crispy tortillitas de camarones and a round of local tapas with Andalusian wine. Then head past the Dalí sculptures on Avenida del Mar to the beach for an espeto, sardines grilled on a skewer, with a glass of tinto de verano.
You’ll cool off with a scoop of crema de abuela ice cream, plus one more dish we won’t name until it’s in front of you!

What to expect

  1. Pass by
    A small, lively square on the edge of Marbella’s old town and a favorite meeting spot for locals. It’s the starting point for a walk into the Casco Antiguo, with a classic churros and hot chocolate stop close by.
  2. CASTILLO DE MARBELLA
    45m
    Marbella’s Moorish fortress dates back more than a thousand years, and sections of its walls and towers still stand between the old town houses. Walking beneath them shows how deep the town’s history runs beyond its glamorous image.
  3. 30m
    Plaza de los Naranjos was laid out after the Christian conquest in the late 15th century and is still the heart of the old town. Orange trees, whitewashed facades and flower-filled balconies frame the square on every side.
  4. 45m
    Marbella’s main church sits on a quiet square inside the old town, known for its ornate stone doorway. The narrow lanes around it hold some of the town’s most traditional taverns.
  5. Parque de Alameda
    45m · Admission ticket included
    A shaded garden linking the old town to the seafront, lined with benches decorated in hand-painted ceramic tiles. Its central marble fountain makes it a cool, calm stop on a warm day.
  6. Pass by
    A series of bronze sculptures by Salvador Dalí stands along Avenida del Mar, the elegant walkway that runs down to the sea. It’s a rare chance to see the surrealist’s work out in the open air.
  7. Faro de Marbella
    Pass by
    Marbella’s seafront promenade follows the Mediterranean shore, where sardine espetos are traditionally grilled over open fires. It’s the place to taste a sardine skewer with a glass of tinto de verano, looking out at the sea.
