Spanish Food and wine truly one of the best in flavours & varieties .. miss it so much

Málaga is the paradise

Malaga is a great and vibrant city. Twenty years ago it looked a lot more run down but there's been no end of improvement and investment since then. Like all great cities that attract tourists there's good and bad places to eat. My favourite street food in Malaga are the delicious fried almonds. I've been to most of the places in this video and they are a lot of fun. However, they are a bit on the trendy side. Some of that stuff looked good but I know it's expensive and not particularly representative. It's a pity you didn't have espetos because that is the quintessential Malaga seafood at affordable prices. All other fish is expensive when you eat out. Malaga wine is always cheap though but some of the stuff sold in that style isn't always the best quality. As always, if you want good quality food at justifiable prices, you have to move beyond the tourist centre or know your way around. Big shout out to Lo Gueno, just off Larios, which do good meals, great tapas and sherry. Another old reliable is the venerable Bar Malaga at the top of Larios. They do traditional stuff very well and are good value.

I agree 👍

Thank you for showing the delicious and diverse Spanish gastronomy, the great unknown abroad. It has always amazed me to see foreigners filling fast food, Italian and Oriental restaurants and missing out on the delicacies of the country they are visiting. When I travel, I avoid eating what I already know and imbued me with its gastronomy.. This is curious being one of the countries with the award-winning Chefs worldwide. Thanks.

Dear James, the lemon has nothing to do with the freshness of the fish, but with breaking the fried fat, it's "pe'caíto frito", mi arma🤗❤️

James, we enjoyed the Altos Ibéricos Rioja 2016 that we got from your last wine tasting video. I would love to see you and Yoli do another wine tasting so I can support your cause until I can get to Spain and take one of your tours!

I love watching you discovering my city!! Wow! Thanks guys!

I studied in Malaga 30 years ago and stayed in Pedregalejo and the city centre for seven months in total before it became too hot and I drove to Sweden to cool off! -- it's good to see that plenty of my old haunts are still going strong. If you are still there, I would recommend trying a tapa of snails in tomato sauce... it's very different to the French style which is cooked with butter and garlic (and much better in my not so humble opinion)... they used to serve it in one of the many bars between Pedregalejo and El Palo.

Hanni is an absolute foodie wizard and always a ball to hang out with. The Food Experience is a no brainer for foodies visiting Malaga 👌🍷

Eating is one of the best experiences I have when I travel. The food is one of my indicators as to what places I can live in or want to stay a bit longer. The views are great, weather and people, but the food is a big draw for me.

Hi James. After watching your video about Malaga, I contacted Hanni. My reason: I am considering to move to Malaga next year and start living as a real pensionado. So: sleep, terrace, market, beach, bar, restaurant and back to bed again:) Hanni was very kind and she introduced me to Jessica. We just finished our introduction Zoom and all went very well. Jessica can be of great assistance from the moment I land in Malaga to search for my new home. Thank you very much.

I love living in Málaga! It's awesome that you came and showcased a fraction of what this beautiful city has to offer! Hope you enjoyed your stay.

I love watching your channel. I went to Spain for the first time last month and watched your Madrid videos in preparation. My uncle lives in Malaga, and I spent about 4 days there wandering around, a lot of it on my own. Hiking up to the Alcazaba and checking out the Picasso museum. It was Holy Week so every night there were large processions and tons of people around. It was such a beautiful and amazing city. I wish this video had been out before I went. I would have loved to have stopped by some of these places. I am pretty sure I stumbled on the Mercado de Atarazanas at closing time. IT’s so great to see you highlight this amazing city.

First time hearing of Malaga. Hanna really knows the best places, and it looked like you really enjoyed the experience. Really enjoyed the tour, and Thank you for taking us along.

Every time I watch one of your videos I have to pour myself a glass of wine....

Just back from Malaga where my pals surprised me , on my birthday , with a food tour. I was even more surprised when it turned out to be the one led by Hanni (who I had seen on this video and been impressed by.) She did a fantastic tour, took us to great bars and was great company. Her knowledge of the local scene led us to some food places we would never have found by ourselves and she made sure we experienced local delicacies. Watch this video. She is the real deal. Fun , informative and extremely helpful. After the tour she gave us a list of places we didn't have time to visit and this became our guide for the rest of the weekend. Hanni even told us to WhatsApp her if we needed any further info. She was brilliant. The food was sensational. The drinks superb. Malaga is a beautiful , vibrant town. This tour helped us pack as much as possible into the three nights we spent there.

Great video like always ❤

Gosh, that was fun. I’M HUNGRY! Hadn’t considered Malaga (I lean to northern Spain), but I have definitely been swayed! Thank you, James and Hanni :)

WOW! This made me fall in love with Spain, Malaga, Spanish Food and the incredible Hanni Martini all over again! It looked like you both had so much fun and can't wait to book a food tour and visit some of these places.

Nope! I want my lemon on fish because it enhances the true flavor. Got to have it and you aren't going to convince me otherwise. I used to live 5 minutes from that market. There was an amazing hole in the walk restaurant called Casa de Pedro right across the street. It was amazing. I love that market. What a great place to live. I was in my early 20's and that was a few decades ago! Great video that brings me back!

Málaga was a bomb site when I first passed through it en route to Nerja, must've been about 13/14 yrs ago. Then, and for a few succeeding years, it wasn't more than a transfer hub for other holiday destinations for me. Now... at the very least, an overnight visit. Incredible transformation. Super chilled city, and one of the friendliest I've ever visited.

Hi James. I am a Spaniard living in Australia and I love your channel and recommend it to everyone who is interested in Spain, but please! No-one in Spain eats fish for breakfast (or meat for that matter). Breakfast in Spain is the continental light kind, like what Yoli always has: sweet muffins (madalenas), some other pastry or tostadas con mantequilla and/or mermelada (toast with butter and/or jam). Maybe churros con chocolate on weekends, but that's it! Pescaito frito for breakfast is super-guiri! 🤣

omg that soup looks amazing

Malaga is best at Christmas. Lights, laser light shows, concerts and flamenco dancing to Christmas music. Cheap lodging too!

I live on the Costa del Sol just outside Malaga and love it here. Your video is great. I admit I don't know Malaga city that well yet. You inspired me to visit it more often. I love good food, good wine and good beer. However, I struggle here in Spain because I am a vegetarian and there are simply very few options as the traditional Spanish cuisine consists mostly of meat or fish. I prefer Greek cuisine much more - you can have a great dinner or mezze in Greece in most restaurants, but you really have to look hard to find a place in Spain that offers more than a salad for vegetarians. That's one of the reasons why we don't eat out as much here as we used to when we lived in England, which is a shame.
