Malaga food guide
El Palo
Casa Manuel de la Lonja
Old-school marisqueria in the fishing quarter: grilled prawns, boquerones and clams a la marinera.
Why I recommend it
Casa Manuel de la Lonja is a traditional seafood stop in El Palo, away from the polished centre. The menu follows the catch: simple grilled fish, shellfish and plates made for sharing.
What to order
- Grilled prawns
- Boquerones
- Clams a la marinera
The atmosphere
Unfussy and lively, with the feel of a neighbourhood seafood house. Ask what is freshest that day.
