Gourmet Tour - Gastronomy Tour Of Salobrena

OVERVIEW

Take a leisurely drive through the picturesque neighborhoods of Salobreña before enjoying tapas and then lunch. The whitewashed village Salobreña sprawls across a steep rocky hill on Spain’s lovely Costa Tropical. The castle that crowns the city has been a fixture since being built in the 13th century during the Nasrid dynasty. American author Washington Irving set his tale “The Legend of the Three Beautiful Princesses” at the castle, and you will pause nearby to hear parts of the story read aloud. A sampling of traditional tapas will follow at Bar Antaños, one of the more popular bodegas in Salobreña. In all likelihood, it will be busy and offer an authentic glimpse into daily life. Continuing on, you will soon arrive at Casa Emilio, another favorite venue among the residents. The restaurant is a chiringuito or beach bar, and seafood is prominently featured on the menu.
