Eat

Fish is Malaga's speciality. No complicated presentation, just the freshest fish, simply fried or cooked on the plancha (grill). The best place to try Malaga's fish is the old fishing district of Pedregalejo/El Palo, to the east of the city. There are many simple fish restaurants along the beach, of which the best and most enjoyable is the Tintero [1] Waiters continually emerge from the kitchen with different types of fish and seafood, shouting like auctioneers, and you just grab what most appeals to you!

Drink

Excellent Malaga wines, and moscatel sweet wine.

  • Vino Calidad [2]

Stay safe

This is a safe city, and most people who claim for help aren't a risk, most of them students of English, but take a look at appearances, avoid gypsy women giving rosemary, they will read your future and ask for fees in exchange. Like in everywhere, mind your luggage, avoid chav-like youth.
