Por qué confiar en El PeriódicoPor qué confiar en El Periódico Por qué confiar en El Periódico

1-Visit the new Pompidou museum and don’t miss the unforgettable instalation of the algerian artist Kadder Attia “Ghost” or the tiny but incredibly powerful Francis Bacon self-portrait.

2- Try the 8 diffferent ways of cooking (and not cooking) tuna they offer in the Garum Restaurant. A true delicacy.

3- Drink the wines of the unknown Axarquía zone, specially the whites Botani ( moscatel) and the Ariyanas seco.

4- Eat “Berenjenas fritas con miel” (fried eggplants with honey) . They are everywhere, you’ll discover soon the best places. It’s the first thing I ask for the moment I step in Málaga.

5- Smell the “Biznaga” branches, the local jasmin. Sweet but not overpowering.

6- Drink coffee like a local in el Café Central and learn about the 10 different combinations of coffee with curious names like “Nube” (cloud) or ” No me lo ponga” (“don’t serve it”).

7-Eat in front of the sea in “El balneario” . It’s the most romantic place in Málaga when the moon is full. Or to watch the sunset.

8- Buy almonds in the street. The best almonds in the world (no kidding)

9-Try the “helado de boletus” (wild mushroom ice cream) or the “culant de patata trufada ” in Suovi tapería, a tiny bar in Afligidos street where you’ll find the most creative tapas in town.

10- After a long day visiting Málaga, go directly to the beautiful Hammam Al Andalus,to soak in the different pools and have a massage. Pure bliss.
