    Fresh, local, traditional food

    I love food markets! The food market of Marbella is amazing. It has every kind of fresh fruit, vegetable, meat, fish, spice and pastry that you can imagine. I cannot stress enough how fresh the food is. This is where the local restaurants go for their provisions. The unique thing about this food market is that it has little restaurants scattered within it. Our guide took us to several of them each serving entirely different items. We had a great selection of local favorites while learning the background of each. Gina was a wonderful tour guide. She was enthusiastic about the market and the foods we were tasting. Her enthusiasm was contagious. We had a very enjoyable time.

    Our tour guide Emily was lively and fun!! It’s always valuable to know the places and the right food to order. Emily showed us a great market and we went back the next week to buy fresh seafood. Great customer service who took time to explain the types of fresh local fish!! Fiesta El Bar del Mercao and Ktando Alnoda in the market were amazing for awesome quick bites. Great job Emily and thank you so much for making our tour fun and educational!! Awesome group!!
