In the United Kingdom, they are amazed by these places in the center: the

Málaga is undoubtedly one of those reference places for Britons, due to its proximity, the simplicity of the connection, and for being a truly economical destination. That's why it's common to see many websites and blogs, such as The Olive Press, routinely reviewing and chronicling a visit to the city, covering some of the lesser-known or mentioned spots, or simply giving some good recommendations to their compatriots. Journalist Michael Coy focuses on three very specific recommendations, all in the center of Málaga, to enjoy the cuisine of Málaga, linked to history, tradition, and our culture.

"Fancy a glass of Sherry?" asks Coy himself before making the first recommendation, well-known to the locals but perhaps more obscure to tourists, such as the Antigua Casa del Guardia, about which they note: "Hidden in an alley next to Alameda Principal. This place is authentic: a wide selection of Sherry and Andalusian fortified wines from the barrel, shrimp dishes and cheeses if you're hungry. And the bartender keeps your tab by marking the prices with chalk on the counter!".

The next stop they make is a look back at history but also a meeting point for our cuisine. They also highlight the Mercado de Atarazanas. "Several towns in southern Spain have magnificent markets, with their explosion of color, aromas, and spicy humor, but few are found, as in Málaga, in an ancient Arab shipyard," they say about this central market where enjoying good products is a delight: "Originally built 800 years ago, Atarazanas was located by the sea. After the Christian conquest of Málaga in 1487, the shipyard had various uses (convent, hospital) as land was reclaimed from the Mediterranean, until it became the city's fruit, fish, and meat market in the mid-20th century. A stained glass window (1973) recalls the market's relationship with the nearby sea".

Lastly, one of the aspects that greatly attracts British tourists is flamenco. The Olive Press delves into this, noting that "if you spend the night in Málaga and feel like watching a flamenco show, there's nothing better than visiting Vino Mío, a small restaurant to the left of the Teatro Cervantes, in Plaza Jerónimo Cuervo". Vino Mío has long been known not only for its culinary offerings but also for linking these to weekly flamenco shows.

"A small group of enthusiasts offers an intimate show every night, from Wednesday to Sunday, usually starting at 8:30 PM. There's no charge for the table (unlike true flamenco, many bars in Málaga ask you for 25 euros just to sit!), but if you come for the flamenco, you're expected to eat and drink. This place is not a tourist show; it's a luxurious spot, but the young artists take what they do very seriously, and you'll likely see some incredible dancing," they conclude about Vino Mío.
