Cuisine and restaurants
Enjoying and experimenting with Andalucian cuisine is a fundamental part of your stay in Andalusia. What is better than an alfresco lunch commencing with a chilled summer gazpacho soup? Or freshly harvested Mediterranean fish and a salad dressed with the finest Olive Oil.
The Mediterranean diet is one of the most nutritionally healthy in the world. On the coast you will find the fish and seafood the traditional fare.
Inland there is a tendency for ham sausage and game dishes not forgetting vegetable and meat stews.

Muscatel grapes, gazpachos and fish. Amongst its most well known dishes are the veal, tripe, the Ronda style broad beans, bitter asparagus, potatoes in ajopoleo, the pot of noodles Málaga style, fish soup, fish with potatoes, roast tuna, marinera style rice, papanduas (small codfish cakes), sardine pot, and the celebrated espetones de sardinas (sardines roasted on bamboo spits).
Throughout the Costa del Sol, there are some great venues for a night out, ranging from a classy restaurant with views of the Med to a boisterous karaoke bar. Casinos, clubs, 'chiringuitos', English pubs, Spanish bars, discos, flamenco shows and more.
Málaga is the Costa del Sol capital, where you can appreciate life lived on the streets with more bars per square metre than anywhere else in Europe. Torremolinos and Benalmádena as tourist centres have a thriving nightlife.
For swankier surrounds head for Marbella's Golden Mile, illuminated with a glittering tiara of star-studded restaurants, discos and nightclubs, frequented by local boy Banderas whenever he's in town. Estepona remains less influenced by tourists, and its Puerto Deportivo makes a great night out.
