Andalusia - A Culinary Journey Through Time

Andalusia - A Culinary Journey Through Time

This journey is all about discovering Andalusia through its food.

We start with the traditions that have shaped the region: classic tapas, Sherry served straight from the barrel, historic tabancos, family recipes and rural food traditions passed down through generations.

Then, we move into the present, visiting chefs and restaurants that reinterpret traditional Andalusian ingredients with modern techniques and a more contemporary approach.

Finally, we look towards the future of Andalusian cuisine — places that respect local traditions but present them in new, creative and inspiring ways.

Each restaurant and culinary experience has been carefully chosen to show a different part of this journey.

Day 1: Traditional Seville

Our journey begins in Seville, with an evening dedicated to the city’s traditional food culture.

During the tapas tour, we will visit classic local establishments where food is served in a relaxed and authentic atmosphere. We will taste traditional tapas, enjoy local wines and Sherry, and discover some of the customs and rituals that have shaped everyday life in Seville.

It is the perfect introduction to Andalusian gastronomy: simple recipes, local ingredients, historic taverns and food meant to be shared.

Day 2 –  Ham producer in the Sierra de Sevilla

On the second day, we leave the city and head into the Sierra de Sevilla.

Our visit to an Iberian ham producer will show us how one of Andalusia’s oldest food traditions continues to live on today. The methods are deeply rooted in history, but modern ideas such as quality control, traceability and presentation are now an important part of the process.

In the evening, dinner at La Mesa de Abuela will take us back to the feeling of a traditional Andalusian home.

Inspired by family recipes, home cooking and the warmth of sharing a meal around the table, the dinner offers a personal and heartfelt interpretation of Andalusia’s culinary heritage.

Day 3 –  Andalusian Cuisine Reinterpreted

On the third day, we continue our journey in Jerez de la Frontera.

We will visit a historic bodega and learn more about the Solera system, one of the traditional methods used to age Sherry. We will also visit historic tabancos, where Sherry is still served directly from the barrel.

These places offer a real connection to the past, showing how wine-making traditions and local customs have been passed down through generations.

In the evening, dinner at a two-Michelin-starred restaurant will show us another side of Andalusian cuisine — one that combines local ingredients and traditions with modern techniques and creative ideas.

Day 4 – A Modern Andalusian Table

On our final full day, we return to Seville to see how Andalusian cuisine continues to evolve.

The final restaurant represents the future of the region’s food culture. It remains connected to local ingredients and traditions, while also embracing new ideas, changing tastes and more contemporary ways of dining.

The journey ends not by leaving tradition behind, but by showing how tradition can continue to grow, change and inspire a new generation of chefs and food lovers.
