Every year, the festival features a region of Spain and this year it is the turn of the Basque Country, a world famous foodie destination, and some top Basque chefs will be in Malaga for the festival.

The tastings will concentrate on wines and cheeses from the Basque region and there are also workshops demonstrating the diversity of the gastronomy in the area.

Several tasting sessions are held daily, giving visitors a chance to sample a wide range of cavas, vermouths and beers.

Every day there are several cooking demonstrations, featuring mainly Basque dishes but also some traditional Andalusian recipes, Mexican, sushi and cake-making.

There are workshops on different ways of preparing tuna, making cocktails and pairing wines with foods.

Children can watch the winners of Junior Masterchef demonstrate their skills (Saturday, 12 noon) and there will be a contemporary dance performance by the Basque dance group, Aukeran DK (Saturday 6pm).

Music will be provided by various DJs and include reggae, songs of the 80s and a concert by the Free Soul Band (10pm tonight, 25 May).

All the activities are free.
