About this experience
Beneath the glitz of Marbella's Golden Mile and the mega-yachts of Puerto Banús lies a hidden empire built on salt, sun, and fermenting fish. Join historian Max and local expert Diana on a sensory journey back to the 1st century AD, when this coastline was the industrial engine of Roman Baetica. Discover how the pungent, umami-rich fish sauce known as 'garum' funded the extravagant patrician villas whose mosaics still survive today. This is a story of extreme luxury, invisible labor, and the ancient roots of modern coastal wealth.
