FOOD

Espetos

A typical dish from Málaga and Southern Spain consisting of fish, traditionally sardines, skewered on thin and long rods and grilled over open olive-wood fires – often set up right on the beach in old fishing boats filled with sand – to produce a smoky, juicy dish full of flavour.

Fritura Malagueña (‘Fried Fish’)

This dish features small local fish – usually anchovies – lightly floured and fried in olive oil to produce a golden, crisp and surprisingly light meal, served across Malaga from beach bars to traditional taverns.

Ensalada Malagueña

This unique salad combines potatoes, oranges, salt cod, onions and olives, all dressed with excellent olive oil; the mix of sweet and salty flavours works surprisingly well; it is often served cold and makes a great light lunch—especially in warmer months.
