Food Scene

Sharing below my favourite places for tapas and dinner in the area, many are mostly visited by locals so highly recommended for a true immersion into the local people and culture.
Excellent small fish and seafood restaurant serving daily catch, a bit pricier then others on the promenade but well worth it. Make sure you get a table on the terrace onto the beach. Sardines grilled on a stick on open fire are an all time winner. You can also order them while at the beach and take them home for lunch. Great for families as there is a playground in the sand close by

Small but busy fish, seafood and tapas open air restaurant on the traffic-free paseo maritime promenade. They will tell you the catch of the day and any recommendations of the day but there is also a menu to choose from. Best to order tapas or medias raciones (half portions) to try as many different dishes as possible. That is the beauty of Spain. In summer and on weekends try to get there early for a table, early as in Spanish-early so at around 8-9pm. In winter only open for lunch.

Trendy restaurant with lovely choice of local tapas style food, reclaimed design. Located at the far end (or very beginning) of traffic-free paseo maritimo promenade along the beach that gets busy with locals in the evening so great for a stroll after dinner and a few drinks at beach front bars in the area. Busy on summer weekends.

Try the authentic service at this historic seafood restaurant whereby you do not need to read the menu. all you do is wait for the numerous waiters to pass past your table with a large selection of different tapas, fish and seafood dishes and get it off them if it inspires you. At the end the waiter will add up your dishes and this is what you pay. An opportunity to dive into loud screaming and busy waiters on the open air terrace right on the beach. Get there early for a good parking spot as it gets very busy, especially on weekends.

Simple but totally authentic fresh seafood and fish restaurant outdoors looking over the beach. Excellent value for money. You must absolutely try the sardinas which are skewed and grilled on wooden fire. Friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Busy with locals.

Iconic El Pimpi, even if there are no free tables outside to enjoy the stunning view of the Roman Theatre you still want to look inside to get a glimpse of this historic bodega and try some vino tinto with some tapas at the bar. Food wise it is ok, small portions but nicely served, so best for tapas than for actual dinner

Considered to be the oldest tavern in Malaga, Antigua Casa de Guardia has remained an iconic landmark of the city ever since its opening in 1840. Among the many sherry barrels of a typical bodega, the wooden counter and the authentic local waiters you feel thrown back in time. This is also the ultimate destination for wine enthusiasts, who get to taste a top selection of the best local wines to be had with some seafood or cheese tapas.

Parks & Nature

Lovely walk either through the tunnels (lit all night) or along the cliff walk, most recommended at sunrise or sunset. this used to be the trainline between Malaga and Nerja and is now a promenade linking La Cala del Moral with the town of Rincon de la Victoria and its long Paseo Maritimo promenade. For your morning run you have got 10km of traffic free paseo maritimo promenade between La Cala and Rincon de La Victoria. There are some exercise stations along the way also.
