That the capital, Málaga is one of the most ancient ports in the world makes it worthy of a very varied and rich cuisine which has grown from everything that has gone to shape its special character. The influence of products and local culinary traditions has resulted in typical fried fish dishes, skewered sardines and platos de los montes, or fried eggs and sausage, washed down by good local wine.
Málaga is also open to the world and to cuisine which originates from other countries and to new ways of preparing food. Eating tapas in the city centre, fish on the beach or sitting down to a meal in any of the international, creative restaurants is all part of a rich gastronomic culture.
