Today is national cheese lovers day!
And to celebrate we wanted to share a little about one of our favourites - ‘queso payoyo’.
The village of Villaluenga del Rosario in Cádiz is home to under 500 people and one of our absolute favourite cheeses. If you’ve not tried Payoyo, you’re in for a treat. This multi-award winning goat cheese is available in a variety of age profiles and sometimes covered in rosemary, paprika or butter. If you want to keep it all local, it pairs beautifully with a sherry and some juicy pasas!
Other info is that it’s made from the milk of the indigenous Payoya goat but it can be made mixed with sheep’s milk too. Fun fact! We think that Payoyo is the word used to refer to people from the village.
The cheese has become so popular that you can find crisps flavoured with the cheese, cheese spreads and even used in cheesecakes where it makes a beautifully rich and balanced dessert.
Hands up if you’re dying to get your chops around some queso payoyo! 🙌🙌
Welcome to the club!
When you join one of our tours you’re in for a treat! You’ll eat like a real local, get to know the city and local people a little bit better and taste some super yummy bites. It will be the best thing you do while you’re in Malaga 🙌

What’s Picasso got to do with Malaga you may ask yourself…
Pablo Picasso is the famous Spanish painter, printmaker, sculptor, ceramicist and is one of the pioneers of cubism. And… He was born in Málaga, in the center at Plaza de La Merced which was then called ‘de Riego.’ Picasso lived the first 10 years of his childhood in Málaga. Later on he moved to A Coruña which is in the Spanish province Galicia and started studying at the School of Fine Arts.
Three fun facts about Pablo Picasso:
1️⃣ His first word was ‘lapiz’ which is Spanish for the word pencil, how apt, right?
2️⃣ His full name is at least 25 words long! Do you know how he was baptized?
3️⃣ When in 1911 the Mona Lisa was stolen in The Louvre, police thought Picasso had stolen it!
There is a museum in Málaga where you can see a lot of Pablo Picasso’s works. It’s open from 10am-6pm daily.
Oh, and of course, we wouldn’t be if we didn’t get something delicious in the post - can you spot it? Tell us what this typical Malaga bite is, in the comments!
Meet Amy!
When we ask Amy about her favourite activity in Málaga, she describes the morning buzz of the market: Wandering around chatting to stall holders and other locals, buying fruit and vegetables for the week - fresh and locally sourced, followed by a cafe con leche, on a nearby terrace in the sun.
And we couldn’t agree more with her - it’s truly one of the best things about living in Malaga.
One more thing you need to know about Amy is that she has a huge appreciation (obsession?) for churros. Amy can’t wait to share her love for churros and for Malaga with you!
Curious what kind of tours we offer and how you can get your chops around some of Amy’s beloved churros? Click on the link below for more information about our fun and tasty food tours!
Happy Three King’s Day 👑
Just when you thought that the party season was over, wellll we’ve got a surprise for you…… in Spain, they’re not! There is one party (holiday) left to celebrate and that is Dia De Los Reyos Magos!
On this day Spaniards celebrate the arrival of the three wise men. Following the biblical story, the three kings saw a star that was so unique they knew somewhere a king was born. They followed the star and brought gifts of gold, incense and myrrh with them.Their long journey the star led them to baby Jesus.
In Spain the arrival of the three kings is celebrated and it’s the 3 kings (not Santa) who deliver presents. In Spain presents are delivered on 5th January - most towns and cities have a wonderful parade where the kings throw out candy for children to catch.
Gifts are then opened on the 6th, which is a big holiday when families get together to unwrap and exchange gifts and eat together.
You didn’t think we would end this story without telling you something about the food we typically eat on this day? Of course not!
One item that will be found in every household in Spain to celebrate three kinds day is a Roscon de Reyes. It’s a ring shaped cake that looks like a really big donut, decorated with jewel coloured sweets to represent the Kings’ crowns.
Apart from being delicious, there’s something else that’s special about the roscon de reyes. Hidden insidious a figurine of a king, and a bean. The person who finds with the king in their portion can call themself lucky because they will be king/queen for the day! And the person who finds the bean - not so lucky - needs to pay for the cake.
If you’re in Malaga today we highly recommend you head down to Alameda principal this evening to watch the parade and get a glimpse of the three wise men for yourself!
Let us know in the comments if you’ve ever tried roscon de reyes!

Will we see you in 2024?
When in Malaga there are soooooo many different types of olives to try. With over 300 varieties of olives grown locally - there is truly something for everyone!
Let’s start by telling you about one of our faves - the Álora olives. This type of olive is native to the town of Álora, part of Malaga province and just a few miles from Malaga city. This olive is big and ‘meaty’. Pale green in colour, the olive is often hand cut with a knife before being cured in brine (salt water), giving it a distinctive split down the middle. It’s cured for a number of weeks until the flesh softens slightly, but it’s never over-cured and always maintains its bite and a bitter edge to the flavour. We just LOVE Álora olives.
Have you tried them? Let us know in the comments!
Joining one of our tours means that you’ll become a part of our Food Experience Family AND a beloved guest of the people of Málaga. Our hosts are more than excited to welcome you to their shops, bars and restaurants and can’t wait to share their passion for the food and wine of Málaga.

Dish of the day…
Banderillas!
When in Málaga, get your chops around a banderilla (or two). In Spain we eat them as an ‘aperitivo’ (aperitif) and this typical dish is made up of pickled yummy morsels such as olives, anchovies and silverskin onions.
These small but mighty bites are served as a snack on a stick and one small bite really packs a punch.
They pair perfectly with house vermouth or our classic Malaga sweet wine - ‘pajarete’.

The Food Experience Effect.
A tour with us is so much more than simply eating delicious Jamón, Queso Curado or drinking Vino Tinto.
Our guides take you on a journey. You learn about the happy pig, behind the ham, you feel the melt-in-the-mouth fat on your palete and taste the sweetness of the acorn diet.
The food experience effect tunes into all 5 senses. Yes - we are about delicious foods, but behind every delicious bite there’s a story which makes it so much more special.
Experience it together, with us!

Verduritas fritas 🫑🧄🌶️🍆
When in Málaga, you should definitely try some verduritas fritas. Beautiful, fresh fried, locally grown vegetables.
You won’t find this dish everywhere - but head to the central market and you can find the freshest produce - cooked for you on the spot
It’s special because there aren’t many places in the world where you find such a variety of fresh veggies all in season at the same time.
