‘Tapas’ are very popular and a rooted tradition all over Spain, besides being a global culinary icon. They are small delicacies that are meant to be savored and shared in a relaxed atmosphere. Now you can learn how to cook different tapas! This activity begins with a visit to the vibrant Atarazanas Market, where a Food Sherpa-an expert in local gastronomy-will accompany you to discover the most surprising seasonal products of our region. Since this is a complete gastronomic experience, it will be there where you will choose some of the ingredients for the workshop later on. The large and modern kitchen is less than a 5 minutes’ walk away from the market, in the Art District. The team will teach you in a didactic, enthusiastic and participative way how to prepare traditional recipes, “classics” of our gastronomy, to enjoy as well the experience of having tapas or “tapear”. You will see how to make the best entree with Iberian ham, traditional cod “tostón” or “ensalada malagueña”, pil-pil prawns, a surprising almond sauce or how to flip a spongy tortilla. To accompany all of these tidbits, the team will select an excellent wine of the region.
