Three Málaga restaurants to rediscover spoon dishes this autumn: gazpachuelo, stews and plenty of tradition

As the first signs of autumn arrive, Málaga cuisine brings back one of its greatest comforts: hearty spoon dishes. Araboka, Bar Nerva and Kaleja represent three very different ways of keeping traditional stews alive, from a classic neighbourhood bar to a Michelin-starred restaurant.

Málaga heads into early October with strong hotel demand driven by Comic-Con and the San Miguel Fair

The San Miguel Fair in Torremolinos and the second edition of San Diego Comic-Con Málaga are keeping accommodation demand high between late September and the first days of October, helping extend tourism activity beyond the traditional summer season.

The province welcomed around 712,000 hotel guests and recorded 2.8 million overnight stays in August. Both figures were down by around 1% year on year, but the cumulative balance for 2026 remains positive, with 4.3 million travellers and 15.8 million hotel nights.

Where Málaga’s Young Adult Population Is Growing: From Inland Towns to the Costa del Sol

Benalmádena, Alhaurín de la Torre and Coín are among the municipalities around Málaga that recorded the largest increases in residents aged 20 to 34 between 2019 and 2025. Cheaper housing may be part of the picture in some towns, but it does not explain every case.
