TWO DAY MARKET TOUR & COOKING EXPERIENCE
This 2 day experience comprises a guided tour of the main market in Málaga, Atarazanas Market, and a cooking workshop that will be connected with the market visit.
On day one we will meet downtown Málaga and will walk through the busy market following an imaginary journey that will take you to every corner of Malaga province. From the sea to the mountains, through the fertile valleys, along the visit you will discover all our gastronomic richness and get a better understanding of our way of life. Of course, we will also buy some of the ingredientes that will be used the next day during the class. Finally, as many locals do when they finish their shopping at the market, we will make a brief stop at one of the bars in the surrounding area for an snack and a drink of your choice.
On day two we will meet at the farm for the cooking workshop. We will start with a short walk around the house, weather permitting. Back in the kitchen we will grab the aprons and begin the instructive and entertaining hands-on cooking session. Mid-process there will be a break to enjoy an aperitif and the first glass of wine. Once the cooking is done it is time to sit and share the food just prepared, taste some more wine and enjoy the relaxed conversation over the table. We eat outdoors everytime possible, and streching on the “sobremesa” with some more tea or coffee is a must.
The cooking workshop is focused on traditional Spanish and regional cuisine. The menu is seasonal, often using local and organic ingredients, and we will prepare together three dishes from scratch, with a home cooking approach and plenty of opportunity for everyone to participate. You will also discover and taste delicious local products or homemade treats along with Spanish wines. Dessert is prepared in advanced.

We were a party of 6 Swedish people who spent a cooking day with Mayte. We had a very pleasant day together with her and her friend, learning about Andalusian cooking and culture at her lovely house. For us who don`t speak Spanish it was very good that Mayte`s English is excellent. We can definitly recommend a visit and will certainly be back to her with other guests.
We were given this experience as a gift – and what gift it was! It was a perfect evening of delicious food, idyllic surroundings and wonderful company. We fell in love with the location as we walked the incredible grounds of this traditional home in the Andalusian hills picking fresh fruit from the trees. Then the cooking began… Mayte’s warm relaxed and friendly style made the cooking so much fun – we have already cooked her recipes at home and both felt very inspired by the love she puts into her food. Couldn’t recommend highly enough – a really special treat for all ages and abilities x
I spent a most enjoyable day in Mayte’s beautiful old farmhouse – full of character in beautiful surroundings. Enjoyed the whole day, preparing the food under Mayte’s instructions and most if all eating the freshly prepared Spanish dishes and sampling thyye Spanish wines. The walk in the garden picking fruit and herbs was an added bonus. I was made very welcome and enjoyed meeting Mayte’s parents and Coco.
A trip to Malaga area would not be complete without a visit to Mayte’s kitchen.
Highly recommended.
We spent the morning and afternoon with Mayte in her amazing farm home. We loved all the dishes that we prepared including the wine and the appetizers she served us before starting. I have taken several cooking lessons throughout the world with different cuisines and I have to say her cooking day is definitely in my top three all time favorites! Highly recommend her cooking for a day class!!
