Kisko Gacía, his chef, makes a wonderful mixture between tradition and contemporary cuisine, to give his plates a casual touch as well as refined. It´s ideal for tapas and beer.

This place functioned at its beginings as a spa, early twenty century. It´s located in an exceptional site by the seaside. It has incredible views of Malaga´s bay. It was recently reformed to make it more touristic. Such a pity for some, even more for the bohemians and hippies from Málaga who think it has lost its tumbledown charm.

Mithic shellfish bar. It´s a pleasure to eat here while listening copla, folk spanish songs. Caution, because this stablishment sometimes is very crowded and it is really small. Anyway it deserves a visit. I personally had lot of fun there.

Sightseeing
After the siege in 1487, the Catholic Monarchs went through the medina and the first thing they did was consecrate the mosque as a church. Since that date until XVIII century, the church has been in constant evolution. So you´ll see a patio with islamic references of the old mosque, then the gothic door of Sagrario Church; at last the cathedral is renaissance style and barroque. A splendid synthesis in our "Manquita" cathedral ( which means "one-armed" ).

The Alcazaba rises up from the hill and ends in Gibralfaro Castle. Both constructions were cleverly well connected by two winding defensive walls called "Coracha". The alcazaba, headquarter of the muslim governors, was also home of their families and servants since XI until XV century. The castle Gibralfaro crown the mountain. It was used to harbour troops and to protect Alcazaba. The panoramic view here is amazing.
