Costa del Sol, the hippest foodie destination

Celebrity Michelin-starred chef Dani García dazzled Madrid last week with the gourmet event, ‘Costa del Sol-Málaga, Noches de Cocina de Autor,’ spotlighting the Costa del Sol as the world’s hippest gastro-tourism hotspot.

Hosted by the Convention Bureau of Costa del Sol-Málaga and Málaga City Council, alongside the Event Managers Association Spain (EMA), the evening brought to light the region’s unmatched appeal for high-end culinary experiences. García, a Málaga native and national Spanish culinary icon, crafted an exclusive tasting for 16 guests, including event managers from top firms such as BBVA, SAP, and Banco Santander.

Representing sectors such as banking, pharmaceuticals, and tech, attendees savoured a menu that fused Andalusian tradition with global flair – proof of the Costa del Sol’s gastronomic prowess. The event, which was held in Madrid, aimed at boosting the region’s reputation in the MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Congresses, Events) market. It also served as a celebration for the Costa del Sol culinary scene.

Costa del Sol is a popular destination for foodies from around the world because of its cutting-edge infrastructure and year-round sun. It also has a rich culture and offers a wide range of bespoke cuisines. It has evolved into a hub of culinary innovation, far beyond the sun, sangria and sea holiday destination.

García’s involvement just cemented this reputation, showcasing why the Málaga province and its coast are unrivalled for exclusive, flavour-packed events. As one guest noted, ‘It’s the ultimate destination for foodies.’ The Costa del Sol has cemented its position as the most enticing gastro-tourism destination on the planet with this fashionable promotion.
