Gastronomy on the Costa del Sol

In all parts of Andalusia you will eat extremely well. Its cuisine is rich in fish, seafood and traditional local dishes. We encourage you to try pescaíto frito, Andalusian-style fried fish; ensalada malagueña, the city's traditional salad; ajoblanco, a cold garlic and almond soup; migas, made with breadcrumbs sautéed with garlic; and gachas, a sweet dish made with bread. And for dessert, you'll love bienmesabe, a cake made with eggs and almonds, and borrachuelos, a typical Malagan sweet. And if you want to learn more about the gastronomic culture of the area, you can plan a tapas and wine route that you will love.
