The food experience in Almería is truly unique & delicious! However, if you don’t speak Spanish, it can be difficult to know where to go & how to make the most of it. That’s where I come in.
Join me for an all-inclusive, small-group experience that will provide you with a fun, seamless, & memorable day. I’ll guide you through some of my favourite local spots, places loved by locals and often missed by visitors, where you’ll enjoy a curated selection of authentic tapas, drinks, & even a guided olive oil tasting.
Along the way, I’ll share stories, history, & fun insights about Almería, bringing the city and its food culture to life. The experience is relaxed, personal, & social. more like spending the day with a local friend than joining a typical tour.
I’m passionate about food, hidden gems, & creating experiences people enjoy, & I can’t wait to share the very best of Almería with you. Come hungry, you’ll leave with a full stomach & a deeper connection to this incredible city.

5.00I have actually participated in multiple offerings from secrets of Almeria, including the tapas tour. But also her larger retreats and classes. Cathy is unbelievably knowledgeable about southern Spain and local hidden gems. Anytime I have done any of her events, I feel so relaxed because she takes care of every single detail and I am always guaranteed to have a really unique experience. Unlike anything you could get anywhere else. If you want the typical tourist experience look elsewhere. But if you want a peek into the real fun, that locals explore, look no further!
Great day in Almeria

5.00What a wonderful day this was. Cathy has entertained us excellently, we have seen nice places of the city and of course lots of goodies to eat and drink. Excellent way to get to know Almeria better and the local cuisine too. Cathy is a sociable woman who speaks easily about the city, a bit of history, but is especially well versed in the local cuisine. All in all a wonderful day.
Perfect in every way

5.00This was a truly fantastic tour - focus on tapas but with enough of a taste for the cultural aspects and buildings to encourage us to go back and visit in more detail. Cathy’s energy and enthusiasm for her home is infectious. The tour starts with a city walk going past several historic buildings with Cathy adding interesting facts and anecdotes along the way. We will definitely go back and visit these in more detail. Then we move onto the tapas - all the stops included tapas and drink within the tour price. My favourite experience was the indoor market where you can purchase fresh produce (gambas rochas in our case) and then take it to a kiosk bar where they cook it for you. We visited 5 taps bars in total so plenty to eat and drink. We have a holiday home in Roquetas and have visited for over 20 years but this is the first time we really got to tour Almeria city in detail. Thank you Cathy!!
Old Town of Almeria

5.00We stayed in the old town, near the supply market. Great area near the market for food, bars, drinking venues, reasonable prices and very friendly people, as if we were lifelong colleagues. It was very beautiful, the port beautiful, a city to visit, I recommend it.
An absolute delight!

5.00A great day out exploring the history of Almeria loaded with fun facts as we wandered around the historic part of the city. Followed by mid afternoon tapas at a number of the famous tapas bars trying the local dishes washed down with a chilled glass of wine. Informative, fun and Cathy really looked after us on the day. We all loved and feel more of a local with our new knowledge of the area. A must to do if you are in the area.
Almeria day with friends.

5.00A highly recommended tour. With an incredibly enthusiastic and pleasant American guide, Kathy, who will captivate you for several hours during this tour of beautiful Almeria. Fine food and watering spots discovered and pleasant contacts with the locals. Highly recommended! Do it.
Great tour!

5.00We went on this tour the day after arriving in Almería & are so pleased we did. Many of the tapas bars don’t have English menus & speak little English so our tour with Cathy really helped. Before we started the tapas bar tour Cathy gave us a little tour of the area. She also provided lots of general information which was invaluable for our break such as how to use the buses, beach bars, restaurant recommendations etc. She also sent a very intensive email afterwards detailing where we went, what we ate/drank & any other info we discussed which we referred back to quite often. She was like our own personal holiday rep! Definitely recommend!
