Andalucian Cuisine

Food is a language we all understand and connects us to each other and the cultures we are exploring. Every day will be a food adventure in Southern Spain! The Andalucian area is known for its flavorful cuisine, which blends regional Spanish food with Mediterranean and North African influences.

Breakfast will be provided by Marinas de Nerja. Daily for lunch, our guide will take us to local restaurants to experience the flavors of Southern Spain. Throughout the day you may decide you want to try a little bit of everything or save your appetite for dinner. For dinner, we will have the option to eat at the hotel or in the town of Nerja.

Fall in love with Spanish flavor as it feeds the belly and the soul. All diets and food allergies can be accommodated
