We start our tour at one of Málaga’s most iconic places: Bodega Bar el Pimpi.

For a more traditional experience, visit Antigua Casa de Guardia on Alameda Principal. Founded in 1840, this tavern retains the charm of yesteryear with its large wooden barrels and old-style bar. Here, the specialty is Málaga’s sweet wine, served directly from the barrels. Accompany your glass with some olives and immerse yourself in the city’s history while enjoying its cozy atmosphere.

For seafood lovers, Los Mellizos Málaga is a must-visit. Located on Calle Sacha de Lara, this restaurant is known for its fresh fish and seafood. Try their famous “fritura malagueña,” a dish filled with fried fish, calamari, and prawns, or their exquisite seafood paella.

Additionally, its central location makes it a perfect stop after a day of exploring the city, making your vacation rental at Living4malaga the ideal starting point.

If you’re looking for a place with an excellent selection of tapas in a cozy atmosphere, El Tapeo de Cervantes on Calle Cárcer is the ideal choice. This small bar offers a wide variety of tapas made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Try their meatballs in sauce, tuna tataki, or shrimp skewers.

Finally, we recommend Trocadero Casa de Botes on Paseo de la Farola. With spectacular views of Málaga’s port, this restaurant offers a unique experience both in its ambiance and its menu. Enjoy Mediterranean dishes with an exotic twist, such as sea bass ceviche or black rice with calamari. Its location and nautical decor make it a perfect place for a relaxed meal with a sea view

We can’t forget to mention the typical beach chiringuitos of Málaga, where you can taste the famous espetos. Sardines skewered and grilled over wood are a local delicacy you can’t miss.
