    Good experience at this beach bar! I really enjoyed the gambones el fuego (pictured). We also ordered the fried eggplant with honey and the fried red snapper. The snapper could have had more flavor but overall glad we picked this place. I would return to try the prawns again, they were outstanding!

    Calamari - great flavour and delicious!

    Beach side, ocean view and good vibes, doesn't get much better than this! We ordered fried sardines and calamari, both were fresh and very tasty. Sardines in particular were well seasoned and not too heavy. The calamari came on a bed of salad which really added to the dish. The service was great and very helpful. A glass of sangria in hand and it was one of the best afternoons ever spent.

    Stayed at near by hotel and had lunch here a few times. The food was excellent every time. Fresh seafood prepared in front of you on open fire. Friendly and helpful staff. Very decent prices for the area and food quality. Definitely check it out if you are I the neighborhood.

    Sardinas cooked over an open fire on the beach are the best and I can't recommend them enough.

    I search out the Mercados when I travel…read more Malaga's huge market will not disappoint. Spend a couple of hours with the locals, just don't get in their way, exploring all the fabulous food the south of Spain has to offer. The Ratatouille in me is always in cheese heaven. SO many varieties of goat, sheep and cows cheese to choose from. I will never get through all of them. The incredible fresh seafood, many still gasping from their very recent plucking from their watery home. Vegetables so unbelievably fresh and beautiful. Spices. They were my main purchase this day. Why bother to fix true Spanish dishes unless you have a great selection of the appropriate spices. Spain, all the devine jamòn. Legs of various aging just waiting to be sliced just for you. Fresh meats that will have your head spinning- I don't know what to cook first. When traveling always check out the local market. Many stalls will offer samples to try. Other have items that can be prepared to travel home with. Some purchases just may not make it out the door they are so delicious. One last tip- go early in the morning 7-8 am for the best selection. And most markets close around 2 pm.

    Don't skip this market. So many foods to try and at affordable prices. My favorite standards the…read moreolive oil lady. We tasted so many oils and balsamic glazes. The olive bar was very popular as well. I also left with sweet garlic from that stand that was vacuum sealed to take home. Go hungry!

    Words cannot describe how much we loved and enjoyed this charming tapas place…read more Our stay in Malaga was extremely short, and we had desperately searched for a great lunch spot. Catedral Del Pascaito is simply magnificent. It was one of my top 3 meals during our recent trip to France and Spain. 1) Seafood is incredibly fresh. Everything is literally alive. Yes, alive, that fresh. 2) Great service. Amazing chef/owner. My Spanish is terrible, and I had to communicate with him via google translator. Still, he was super patient, and explained everything on the menu with a huge smile on his face. LOVED the guy. 3) Unbelievable food. Yes, I mentioned that the ingredients were fresh, but everything was prepped to perfection. I highly recommend this tiny clam called Coquinas (12 euros). Simmered in buttery sauce with parsley, these tiny clam lookalike coquinas tasted marvelous. We also had fried fresh white anchovy (Boquerones), which tasted crazy good. It was lightly fried, and the texture was almost fluffy soft. And for only 5 euros, how could I ever find faults with this wonderful dish?!?! We ordered 5 tapas and 3 glasses of wine, and the total bill came down to 42.50 euros. I LOVE SPAIN. The owner seems to love Hollywood movies, as the restaurant was decorated with pictures of famous Hollywood actors, actresses and movies. I really wanted to tell him that his food was better than any tapas I had in NY and DC, but he was too busy, so I couldn't. Next time we return to Malaga, we will surely visit this place again, and we will order everything off the menu.
