The #1 Family Activity in Mijas Pueblo

We're a real working chocolate factory in the heart of Mijas Pueblo — and one of the most popular things to do with kids on the Costa del Sol. Since 2012, families from Málaga, Marbella, and all over the coast have been coming here to make their own chocolate in our hands-on workshops. Kids from age 3 upwards get stuck in with over 50 toppings, edible paints, and moulds — and everyone takes home the chocolate they make.

We run workshops for families, adults, kids' birthday parties, school groups, and corporate events — from quick 25-minute sessions (€19.95) to full chocolatier masterclasses. Free factory tours available daily through our glass-fronted workshop, with no obligation to buy. We also serve fresh cakes (baked daily, gluten-free options), artisan gelato with organic Galician milk, and handmade sorbets.

Everything we make uses ethically sourced, single-origin cacao — no palm fats, no cheap fillers, and zero child slave labour. We're the only slave-free chocolate factory in Spain, certified by the NGO slavefreechocolate.org. Open every day from 10:30 to 18:00 at Plaza Virgen de la Peña, the main square of Mijas Pueblo, just 30 minutes from Málaga and Marbella.
