Málaga has always had, at its heart, a certain affluent and cosmopolitan tradition. For that reason, it has attracted chefs from Andalusia, the wider domains of Spain, and indeed Europe. Its proximity to the sea and it’s fine local fresh produce also appeal to chefs who want to get the most out of the dining experience. So, if you’re a lover of fine cuisine but without the pretension that sometimes accompanies it in some cities, then you’ll love Málaga!

Lunches will typically be longer, running from perhaps 1pm until 3pm – though this is changing slightly in the major cities as the concept of ‘siesta’ is declining in parts of Spain. Evening dining usually starts much later than in northern Europe, and many people will only arrive to eat at around 10pm or even later.
