What a day! Our tour started with meeting Michel, our fabulous tour guide, in the Plaza de los Naranjos in old town. Not only is he a food connisseur but he is also an amateur (I think amateur?) historian. He started with a brief history of Spain, with a focus on Marbella. Very interesting! From the old town we headed to the Market - for our tastings. Michel was so incredibly passionate about the local and traditional foods that I tried things that I would never have tried on an ordinary day on our own. The market was beautiful - filled with food, colour, people, smells and sounds. Every tasting we had was paired with a local wine. A beautiful day all around.

Gina is a very friendly, informative and knowledgeable guide. She gave us the historical background as to the area and food influences. It was a great way to learn about the area by eating great 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.

After several visits to Marbella, my friends and I decided to get off our sun beds and do something more interesting. Taste of Marbella market your seemed to fit the bill. Linda was our guide and she was brilliant, giving us a brief history of Marbella before taking us to its market. We were intro to several stall holders and sampled beautiful ham, cheese fish and sausage, all accompanied by appropriate wines. What a fantastic way to spend 3 hours! Linda 10 out of 10 Marbella market 10 out of 10 Same again next year!
