Malaga food guide
El Palo
Chiringuito New Varadero
Espeto sardines grilled over olive-wood fire right on the sand — my favourite beach grill in El Palo.
Why I recommend it
New Varadero is the kind of Malaga beach restaurant worth planning an afternoon around. The espetos are cooked beside the tables in a sand-filled boat, while the Mediterranean and El Palo promenade stay in full view.
What to order
- Espeto de sardinas
- Grilled octopus
- Fresh local fish
The atmosphere
Relaxed, local and right on the beach. Go for a long lunch and arrive before the busiest weekend hours.
