With the arrival of spring, the sea comes alive once again in the kitchen.
And that can only mean one thing: the tuna season at Lobito de Mar has begun.
A time that marks the culinary calendar in red ink, just like the prized loin of Almadraba bluefin tuna.
From April 23 to June 1, Lobito de Mar Madrid and Marbella become temples of ocean flavor.
Chef Dani García has created an exclusive menu focused on tuna, with dishes that pay tribute to this extraordinary product.
The menu features unique creations such as white loin ceviche and black loin chirashi sushi.
Also standing out are dishes like paprika-pickled tuna belly and Andalusian-style braised contramormo.
Tuna takes center stage, and every dish showcases its versatility and culinary power.
Ronqueos
In addition, Grupo Dani García has prepared two Almadraba wild bluefin tuna ronqueos in collaboration with Gadira. Gadira is a benchmark company known for its commitment to sustainable and selective fishing, respectful of the marine environment.
The first ronqueo will take place on May 9 at Tragabuches Marbella, in a day that blends sea, land, and tradition. That same day, there will also be a live demonstration of the Iberian pork butchery by Cinco Jotas, another gem of Spanish gastronomy.
Guests will enjoy a dinner featuring the finest cuts of both tuna and pork, ending with a perfectly chilled Cruzcampo beer.

The second ronqueo will be held on May 13 at Dani Brasserie, on the terrace of the Four Seasons Hotel Madrid.
With views over the Madrid skyline, this event offers a live look at the ancestral technique of tuna ronqueo.
A precise, almost hypnotic practice that honors the nobility of the Almadraba bluefin tuna.
A gastronomic performance that leaves no one indifferent, elevating this product to an almost artistic level.
The Art of Tuna
But if there’s one thing you shouldn’t miss this spring, it’s the tuna season at Lobito de Mar.
A unique proposal to enjoy tuna like never before, infused with the creative touch of Dani García.
Every dish has been crafted to move the diner and transport them to the purest Atlantic essence.
From raw and fresh bites to slow-cooked creations, tuna reveals itself in all its forms.
This new edition of “The Art of Tuna” is a celebration of the Andalusian coast, its flavors, and its roots.
It takes place in two cities, but with a single goal: to honor tuna and its legacy.
Each dish contains the sea, craftsmanship, and deep respect for a product that deserves it all.
A season that lasts just a few weeks but leaves a lasting impression on those who live it.
