A finger-licking salmorejo
Salmorejo is a hearty dish. It incorporates cereals, vegetables, and healthy fats. It is also suitable for all dietary preferences and it’s a delicious way to increase our vegetables and water intake, making it a perfect meal for children.
Manchego, Andalusian, strawberry or watermelon salmorejo… the options are endless! Víctor Gutiérrez, our chef at Elba Estepona Gran Hotel & Thalasso Spa, is an expert innovator in this dish. He has worked in Mallorca, Menorca, Sierra Nevada, Puerto Banús, and even Milan. Thanks to his experience in Michelin-star restaurants –including Andra Mari and Alameda– he can now create masterpieces, such as this salmorejo.

The best tapas in the south of Spain
Standing or sitting. On the beach or at a bar terrace. Anywhere is good to have tapas, especially during the summer.
In every holiday, there is always room to enjoy the local food, as it is a different way of discovering the local culture.
It is said that the term ‘tapa’ (‘lid’ in Spanish) was created centuries ago, when a piece of bread or ham was placed over the glass to keep the insects out. Nowadays, apart from being a fun and different way to eat, tapas have become an element for socialising. Who has never ‘gone for tapas’ – at least in Spain?
In Andalusia, tapas go perfectly with the climate: they are colourful, refreshing, and many are ‘freshly fished’ from the Mediterranean.
