Overview

What to expect on this Andalusia food tour

Two nights in Seville for Triana market, tapas bars and a jamón cutter at work, a sherry bodega in Jerez, manzanilla and prawns in Sanlúcar, Cádiz market and its fried fish, an olive oil mill on the road east, and two nights in Granada.

Andalusia is where much of what the world calls Spanish food comes from: tapas, gazpacho, jamón ibérico, fried fish and sherry. It is also a large region, and the food changes as you cross it. Seville eats stews and small plates in tiled bars; the sherry towns drink fino and manzanilla with everything; Cádiz lives on the sea; Granada still gives you a free tapa with every drink.

The tour starts with two nights in Seville, with Triana market, a tapas evening across the river and a demonstration by a jamón cutter. Then south to Jerez for a bodega visit, from bone-dry fino to syrupy Pedro Ximénez, and two nights in Cádiz, with its central market, tortillitas de camarones and an evening at Bajo de Guía in Sanlúcar. On the drive east we stop at an olive oil mill near Antequera, and finish with two nights in Granada and the Albaicín.

Lucía Romero, who grew up in Triana, hosts every departure. Dates avoid the summer heat; November departures arrive as the new olive oil is pressed.

What you will taste

28 tastings on this Andalusia food tour

Tasting portions at the markets, producers, cellars and kitchens on the route, on top of the meals listed. Dishes follow the season, so one or two can change from date to date.

Drinks
Fino, amontillado, oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry, manzanilla from Sanlúcar, Andalusian red wine and cold cañas of beer. Alcohol is poured only for guests 18 and over, the legal drinking age in Spain, with ID; every pour has a non-alcoholic option.
Diets
Pork is everywhere, but the jamón stops have a cheese or vegetable alternative and the fish days need no swap. Most fried fish is floured, so gluten-free guests get grilled fish instead in Cádiz. Severe allergies: ask Lena before you book.

Itinerary

Andalusia food tour itinerary: 7 days, day by day

Day 1 is the arrival day: meet your host at the hotel in the late afternoon. The order of the days can shift with the weather, the harvest or a kitchen that closes early; the places stay the same.

  1. Day1

    Arrive in Seville

    A vendor scooping olives into a paper cone at an olive stall in Triana market, Seville

    Transfer from Seville airport, about twenty minutes, to the hotel in the Santa Cruz quarter. In the evening Lucía walks the group to a tiled tapas bar for the welcome dinner: salmorejo, espinacas con garbanzos, pork cheeks in sherry and a first glass of fino.

  2. Day2

    Triana and a jamón cutter

    Across the Guadalquivir to Triana market, built on the ruins of an old castle, for olives, cheeses and the fish stalls. A cutter then shows how a whole leg of jamón ibérico is carved, with a tasting by grade. Free afternoon. Evening tapas in Triana, along Calle Betis and Calle Pureza.

  3. Day3

    Jerez and the sherry bodegas

    An hour south to Jerez. A bodega visit walks through the solera system and the flor, with a tasting from fino to amontillado, oloroso and Pedro Ximénez for guests 18 and over, and a demonstration of the venencia. Lunch at a tabanco, with sherry from the barrel. On to Cádiz for the night.

  4. Day4

    Cádiz market and Sanlúcar

    A fishmonger cutting fish at a marble counter in the central market of Cádiz

    Morning at the Mercado Central de Abastos with its fish hall, then fried fish in paper cones and tortillitas de camarones in the old town. Free afternoon at La Caleta beach. In the evening to Sanlúcar for a manzanilla tasting and dinner of langostinos at Bajo de Guía, facing Doñana across the river.

  5. Day5

    Olive oil on the road to Granada

    The whitewashed houses and tiled roofs of the Albaicín quarter on a hillside in Granada

    East across the province toward Antequera. At an olive mill in the hills the owner explains the harvest and the press, and the group tastes new oils on bread with a light lunch. In November the mill is working. Arrival in Granada mid-afternoon; evening tapas, a free one with each drink.

  6. Day6

    Granada and the Albaicín

    A morning walk up through the Albaicín to the Mirador de San Nicolás, then mint tea on Calle Calderería. The afternoon is free for the Alhambra, optional and booked with your name when you reserve. Farewell dinner: habas con jamón, remojón salad and piononos from Santa Fe.

  7. Day7

    Depart from Granada or Málaga

    Breakfast at the hotel and the transfer to Granada airport, about twenty-five minutes, arriving around 10 am, or to Málaga airport, an hour and a half, arriving around noon.

Before you book

Before you book this Andalusia food tour: honest notes

Pace and walking
Moderate: two to three hours on foot in each city, with cobbles and hills in the Albaicín, and one longer drive.
Your host
Lucía Romero. Lucía grew up in Triana, studied wine in Jerez and spent six years showing visitors around a sherry bodega there. She joined us in 2025 and hosts every Andalusia departure, from the first tapa in Seville to the last in Granada. All our hosts
What can change
The order of the days can shift with the weather, a harvest or a kitchen that closes early. A stop of the same kind and value replaces anything that falls through.
Weather
Tours run in all weather. If a storm closes a boat trip or a farm visit, we move it or replace it, and if a serious weather warning stops the tour before it starts, you choose a new date or a full refund.
Arrival and departure
Arrive at Seville (SVQ), leave from Granada (GRX) or Málaga (AGP). Transfers are included at the group times on the first and last day.
Drinks and age
Adults only, 18 and over. Alcohol is poured only for guests 18 and over, the legal drinking age in Spain, with ID; every pour has a non-alcoholic option.
Diets and allergies
Vegetarian, pescatarian and gluten-free versions with notice when you book. Tell us about severe allergies first; we will say honestly what we can and cannot promise.
Luggage
One suitcase and a day bag. Leave space for olive oil, coffee or a bottle of wine, and check your home customs rules before you pack cured meat or fresh cheese.

Questions about this tour

Andalusia food tour FAQ

General questions on booking, flights, insurance and luggage are on the main FAQ page.

Ask Lena directly

Lena Ortiz in reservations replies within one working day, Monday to Friday.

Is the Alhambra included?

It is optional. Tickets are sold by name and sell out weeks ahead, so tell Lena when you book and we reserve a timed entry for the afternoon of day 6.

How much sherry will we drink?

Tasting measures, not glasses: about six wines at the bodega and two or three manzanillas in Sanlúcar. Every tasting has a non-alcoholic option, and nobody is pressed to finish a glass.

Is the drive to Granada long?

About three hours of driving from Cádiz, split by the olive mill and lunch, so no stretch is longer than two hours.

What about Holy Week and the April Fair?

We do not run departures in Seville during Holy Week or the April Fair, when hotels fill and many bars close to the public. Ask Lena if you want to plan your own days around them.

Can I join on my own?

Yes. About a third of our guests travel solo. A single room on this tour costs $790 extra, and some dates have no single supplement; we can also try to match you with a roommate.

What if I have a food allergy or a special diet?

Tell Lena when you book. Vegetarian, pescatarian and gluten-free versions are arranged with every kitchen before you arrive; for severe allergies we tell you honestly which stops we can and cannot make safe.

What if I need to cancel or change?

Your $300 deposit holds the seat, the balance is due 60 days before departure, and you can move once to another date or tour free up to 45 days before. The full scale is on the booking terms page.

Should we tip the host?

Tips are welcome but never expected. Guests who want a guideline usually give 10 to 15 US dollars, or the same in local money, per person for a day walk, or per person per day on a multi-day tour; restaurant tips on included meals are already paid.
