new malaga bars
So many bars, so little time. I managed to visit eight new bars in Málaga. Either brand new, new to me, or a new version of one I knew before. And except for one (spoiled by crap service) they were all delightful. I also visited some of my old favourites, a couple of great breakfast places, and a fab new bar that mostly specialises in vermouth and smiles. I’ll have to go back to that one. Hope to get these places written up soon on Azahar Tapas… Bar Mercado Central N°1, La Luz de Candela, Óleo, Señor Lobo, Barra de Soho, Vinería Cervantes, Añil Croquetería and the new Uvedoble.

los gatos
This is my home away from home when I’m in Málaga, my meeting place, my office… Los Gatos. It’s amazing. You can get tasty snacks there, lots of different tapas, full meals (they do great stews and other dishes), lovely wines and the best beer on tap in town. But most of all you get genuinely friendly service. And every time I show up after being away I am welcomed like an old friend. Just like I am the next day and the next. It’s a very special place.

malaga museums

It was a very cultural week. I went to three new (well, new for me) museums in Málaga this visit. Top row: Museum of Popular Arts & Traditions, Museum of Glass & Crystal, Interactive Music Museum. Then I re-visited the Contemporary Art Centre and the Carmen Thyssen Gallery. All in two days! I will (hopefully!) be writing more about these places on Azahar Spain soon. But if you are planning a trip to Málaga then check them all out. As well as the Automobile Museum, the Russian Art Museum and – at least from the outside – the shiny new Pompidou.

breakfast of champions

I’ve popped into the wonderfully cluttered La Recova many times but this was the first time I stopped in to eat. According to Victor @welovemalaga they serve an amazing breakfast so we chose to go there for our regular Tuesday morning We Love Tapas @welovetapastour meeting. We usually do this by Skype, so it was great to actually meet up in person and, well, have this amazing breakfast.

For a whopping 2.20€ you get coffee or tea, a thick slice of toasted country bread, and a whole whack of toppings: olive oil, butter, fresh tomatoes, peach jam, banana spread, sobrasada, two zurrapas (chicharrones and pork loin & pimentón) and paté. All served with a smile. We’re doing more breakfast research this week, but this one is going to be hard to beat.
