A Walk with Cristine
To Start the Day
Start your morning with freshly made churros at Casa Aranda, a true Málaga institution that has been delighting locals for generations. If you prefer a slower, more local breakfast,
la recova
is the perfect place to enjoy traditional pan cateto with olive oil and tomato, or one of their homemade jams, in a setting full of charm and history.
ATARAZANAS MARKET
Just a short stroll away, Atarazanas Market is an essential stop. Wander among stalls overflowing with fresh fruit, fish, cured meats and spices, and experience the authentic rhythm of the city’s culinary life.
Mid-Morning
For a mid-morning pause, few experiences are more quintessentially Malagueño than stepping into Antigua Casa de Guardia to enjoy a glass of sweet wine served straight from the barrel, surrounded by history and the timeless atmosphere of the old town.
Seaside dining
If you’re looking for lunch by the sea, La Pérgola, at the end of Muelle Uno, serves excellent rice dishes overlooking the Mediterranean and Málaga’s harbour, in one of the city’s most enjoyable waterfront settings.
A sweet taste
Back in the historic centre, a sweet stop is always welcome at Casa Mira on Calle Císter, where artisan ice creams have become part of the city’s culinary heritage.
From fire to sea
A visit to the Pedregalejo promenade is almost a must. Here, you can savour authentic espetos at El Caleño, one of Málaga’s most iconic beach restaurants, where sardines are grilled over open fires by the sea following a centuries-old local tradition.
Another Málaga institution
El Pimpi
Take time to wander through its courtyards, dining rooms and corners filled with memories before enjoying a glass of wine overlooking the Roman Theatre and the Alcazaba.
For dinner
We invite you to La Cocina de Cristine, our hotel restaurant, inspired by the essence of traditional Málaga cuisine—one rooted in exceptional local produce, heritage and authentic flavours. Here, we reinterpret those timeless recipes with a contemporary touch.
More Gastro
If you’re in the mood for a more international culinary journey, Shushita Chinitas offers a playful and contemporary dining experience where Japanese cuisine meets global influences, all within a vibrant space in the heart of Málaga.
To end the day, few experiences compare to watching the sun set over the harbour while enjoying a cocktail at Trocadero Casa de Botes.
