Best Food Tours of Malaga

On the shores of the Mediterranean, Malaga is a city with a gastronomy rich in seafood par excellence. But also within the city you will find much more than just seafood tapas or paellas.

These types of gastronomic tours take you to discover the flavours and smells of vibrant Malaga. From wine tasting tours to flamenco tablaos where eating is the best way to enjoy the show. The gastronomic tour is one of those must see and do activities in Malaga.

In this chocolate making experience you will feel like a master chocolatier because not only will you have the opportunity to make your own chocolate, but you will also learn the techniques used by the experts to make them. This experience is ideal for the whole family, so it's one of the activities I like to include among the things to see and do in Malaga with children.

You can learn how to make different figures and chocolate-based products, and you have two workshop options, a very basic express learning workshop and a slightly more advanced premium learning workshop, in which they teach you a lot of chocolate techniques. Of course, part of the advantage of these workshops is that you can sample all the different varieties of chocolate available.

You have different ingredients available to make and decorate your respective chocolate products, be it truffles, bonbons or other similar things. Among the ingredients you have to choose from are fruits, sea salt, caramel, among other delicious ingredients that match the high quality chocolate. The company that provides the chocolate workshop is award-winning and renowned for its quality.
