There are moments when Marbella becomes pure magic. When the scent of incense fills the air, the city beats to the rhythm of drums, and the coast lights up, we know Holy Week has arrived. In Marbella, Holy Week, plans, and the art of good eating blend together as naturally as a sunny afternoon. This year, tradition and gastronomy go hand in hand in our spaces, where every corner invites you to savour the true essence of Málaga.

In Marbella, Holy Week is culture, gastronomy, and landscape. It’s that perfect plan that begins with coffee in the sun, continues with a rice dish by the sea, passes through a procession on Calle Ancha, and ends with a cocktail in good company. That’s why this year, the best Holy Week plans are right here. No need to leave the city, no need to compromise on flavour—just pure emotion, wrapped in everything Málaga has to offer during these special days.

From the purest tradition to innovation at the table, our brands are ready to accompany you. Because every procession deserves a pause, and every emotion, a bite. In Marbella, memories are meant to be tasted.

Father’s Day is a special occasion to honor the man who has been by our side through every stage of life. Every year, as this date approaches, the same question arises: When is Father’s Day? In Spain, it is celebrated on March 19th, coinciding with Saint Joseph’s Day. And if this year you want to surprise him in a different way, forget traditional gifts and opt for a unique gastronomic experience.

A Father’s Day Gift He’ll Always Remember

The Best Way to Celebrate Father’s Day

The weekend is the perfect time to enjoy without rushing. Brunch, tapas, and sobremesa are three fundamental pillars of Spanish gastronomy. They combine pleasure, tradition, and a touch of modernity. Whether with friends or family, each moment has its own charm. Grupo Dani García understands this and has created culinary experiences that elevate these moments to another level.

Starting the Day

Brunch is the perfect excuse to wake up late and indulge in a guilt-free morning feast. At BiBo and Leña, brunch becomes a true experience. BiBo offers a fusion of international flavors with an Andalusian twist. Their eggs Benedict with smoked salmon are simply irresistible.

Leña, on the other hand, brings a sweeter option for those who want to start the day with energy and bold flavors: a croissant filled with toffee butter ice cream, salted caramel, and hazelnuts.

A Truly Traditional Lunch

Tapas are at the heart of Spanish gastronomy. They allow sharing, tasting different flavors, and enjoying without rules. At Lobito de Mar and Tragabuches, tapas are a true celebration of quality ingredients.

At Lobito, the sea takes center stage. Their marinated gildas, Russian salad with smoked eel, and tuna specialtiestransport diners to the coast with every bite. All best paired with a chilled vermouth or a refreshing white wine.

Tragabuches, on the other hand, revives the essence of Andalusian tradition with a contemporary touch. Their gazpacho, shrimp fritters, and creamy croquettes are options that win over any food lover. A perfect choice for those who seek authentic flavors and top-quality products.

The Sacred Sobremesa

Sobremesa is a ritual taken very seriously in Spain. There’s no rush—just great conversation and the perfect accompaniment. At El Coleccionista, this experience is elevated into a true sensory luxury.

Signature cocktails take the spotlight in this space. From reinvented classics to innovative creations, each drink is designed to surprise. The espresso martini is ideal for coffee lovers, while a perfectly balanced negroni caters to those who appreciate a bitter and sophisticated touch.

Paired with a selection of desserts or a fine chocolate, sobremesa becomes the perfect way to end an unforgettable meal—a moment to disconnect from the world and savor the good life.

A Weekend Full of Flavor

Brunch, tapas, and sobremesa create the perfect combination to make the most of the weekend. From a late breakfast at BiBo or Leña to tapas at Lobito or Tragabuches, and an unforgettable sobremesa at El Coleccionista, each moment becomes a gastronomic experience designed to be enjoyed without rush and with plenty of flavor.

Happy International Croquette Day! On January 16, is a date dedicated to one of the most popular and versatile dishes in world gastronomy. Originating in France in the 18th century, croquettes made their way to Spain through French culinary influence and quickly became a typical snack. This day celebrates not only the delicious taste of croquettes but also their history, tradition, and their ability to adapt to an infinite variety of ingredients and combinations.

While the classic croquette is made with a creamy béchamel and some type of meat, such as chicken or ham, it has evolved in many cultures. Nowadays, it is common to find vegetarian, seafood, and even more innovative versions with ingredients like truffle or cheese. Croquettes know no boundaries; they adapt to local tastes and are a symbol of “leftover” cuisine.

This day also highlights the importance of homemade food and the culinary tradition passed down through generations. In many countries, croquettes are the star dish of family dinners, celebrations, or tapas in bars and restaurants. The crispy exterior and soft interior are irresistible, and their versatility makes them suitable for any occasion.  

In addition to being a perfect excuse to enjoy a great croquette, International Croquette Day invites us to reflect on the cultural richness behind each recipe and appreciate the value of life’s small pleasures.

Dani García’s Croquettes

Dani García, one of the most renowned chefs in Spanish gastronomy, has elevated croquettes to a unique level of sophistication in his restaurants. Known for his creative and avant-garde approach, García reinvents this classic dish using high-quality ingredients and innovative techniques. Some of his standout croquettes include those filled with ham, shrimp, or roasted chicken.

If you want to try Dani García’s croquettes, you can visit his restaurants in Marbella, Madrid, and Barcelona, across all his brands: BiBo, Leña, Lobito de Mar, and Tragabuches. All of them feature this crowd-pleasing dish, and the chef’s croquettes will leave no one indifferent.
