What to eat in Malaga?
Almost as important as the section about what to see in Málaga is what to eat. Its cuisine is one of the richest and most varied in Spain, although there are some dishes from Málaga you really should try. This is the case of the espetos from Malaga, which you will find all along the promenades running along this coast. The fried fish, carabineros and shellfishes are an authentic delicacy in the beach bars, although there are also top quality restaurants you should visit. Now, they are much more expensive.
Salmorejos, gazpachos, Serrano ham, Spanish omelette, scrambled eggs … The tapas are the spice of life in Málaga, so our recommendation is to go from pub to pub and savour its proposals accompanied by a well-chilled white wine or a good beer.
