Discovering the Flavours of Malaga
Have you ever felt that tingling sensation on your palate when you try something completely new and delicious? That's the effect that Malaga's gastronomy promises with every mouthful. Malaga, a city that overlooks the Mediterranean in Andalusia, not only enchants with its climate and beaches, but is also a true paradise for lovers of good food. We are going to immerse ourselves in a journey through the typical dishes from Malaga that, I assure you, will make you want to repeat.
El Pescaíto Frito: The King of the Malaga Seas
Let's start with the unbeatable fried fishHave you ever smelt the aroma of the sea mixed with a hint of crunch that wafts through the air? That is the unmistakable sign that you are close to a fried fish restaurant in Malaga. Boquerones (anchovies), calamares (squid) and adobo (marinated fish) are a must at any good table in Malaga.
Boquerones al Limón
The anchovies, small but brave, practically the emblem of Malaga, are presented either fried or pickled, always accompanied by a squeeze of lemon. Simple, fresh, a real holiday flavour, don't you think?
La Ensalada Malagueña: Freshness in Every Morsel
After the intense flavour of pescaíto, how about something fresher? The Malaga salad is an ode to the vegetable garden, with potatoes, oranges, cod and, of course, good virgin olive oil. It will transport you to the olive groves and blue skies of the region in just one bite.
