★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 26 reviews · 3.5 hours · from $94

Meet Anaïs and the Kulinarea team for a 3.5-hour English-language food experience in Málaga. Visit Atarazanas Market when open, taste local olive oil, then cook paella, gazpacho, sangria and churros in a smart Soho kitchen. Wine, recipes and an apron are included.

“Een hele leuke middag gehad! Onze gids Anaïs vertelde tijdens de rondleiding over de markt veel leuke feitjes over Málaga en de Spaanse keuken. De kookstudio was erg mooi en de groep bestond uit verschillende nationaliteiten, wat het extra leuk maakt. De chef-kok legde alles goed uit en hielp waar nodig, waardoor we een lekkere sangria, salade, paella en churros hebben gemaakt. De recepten krijg je direct mee naar huis. Ook was de olijfolieproeverij een leuke toevoeging. Aanrader!”
