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.

Perhaps I shouldn't give you this recommendation cause Paco Jose's salted Spanish almonds are so…read moredamn addictive, but now that you know what you're giving yourself into I can say this: if you had room for a kilo of almonds in your bag home you would not regret it (get them decided in several small bags and give away to your friends back home). We got only 400g and regret not getting more already back at the hotel room. Apart from almonds with salt, honey or sugar, and Paco's home fried chips (patatas fritas), there's a lot of candy to be found in this beautiful blue corner store, only one block from the lovely market of Malaga. We were here on Valentine's Day and they had red candied apples dipped in small sugar hearts in one of their windows. I guess these items will change depending on season, and I wouldn't mind checking out their Easter or Christmas candy.

Upon arrival we were welcomed by the friendly host and seated right away. The tables are these cute booth style seating. While very cute, they're also very tight - really designed for two people. I sat next to my young kiddo and we both found it somewhat uncomfortable. The seats are also quite shallow which made me feel like I was sitting at the end of my seat (I'm an average height guy ~6 ft). The restaurant was beautiful and felt like you had stepped into an old Moroccan bazaar. Really great balance of tradition and culture without being too tacky. After asking a few questions about the menu to manage dietary restrictions, we landed on the humus, babaganoush, chicken tagine and chicken couscous. Both the hummus and babaganoush were served with a pita bread. They were both solid. Flavors were on point. My one observation, and this could be due to Moroccan preparation, was the hummus was a bit thinner than most hummus. So while flavor was great consistency was a bit off to me. The main dishes were both wonderful. The chicken tagine was a generous portion, great for sharing. Two chicken drumsticks with a ton of veggies and fruits cooked to perfection that the meat fell off the bones. The sauce was tasty and well spiced. The couscous was similarly generous two drum sticks buried under a mountain of couscous and topped with a selection of root veggies and accompanied by a side of "salsa" aka chicken broth.

After it was cooked at the outdoor grill, it was brought in by our waiter and placed on the table without being filleted. In all our time at many restaurants a whole fish is deboned and filleted. We called him back and it was obvious that he had really no experience. He fumbled around and left. That was completely unacceptable. We will not return. We also noticed that the small plate portions were smaller than other places we hav eaten. The final straw for our table was when we asked to split the bill. "We do not allow that." That was extremely annoying because we did not have the cash. There are too many good and welcoming restaurants to enjoy than go to one that has no understanding of customer service.
