Pedregalejo Promenade, Maritime History

Start with a walk to the beach and the Pedregalejo promenade, where you'll learn about the history and importance of fishing in this community. That includes the emblematic jabega, a rowing boat that has been used for centuries by the local fishermen. Learn the secrets of this traditional boat and its relevance in the maritime history of the region.

Chiringuito, Traditional Sardine Grilling, Local Dinner

Then, head to an authentic chiringuito on the beach. Here, discover how to prepare espetos, a local delicacy of grilled sardines on skewers cooked over an open fire in a small fishing boat on the beach. Once the skewered sardines are perfectly cooked, it's time to indulge. Embrace the full local experience: dive in and use your fingers to eat the delicate pieces of sardine. It’s a true, all-encompassing flavor sensation. Complete your dinner with other local specialties, which may include salads, clams, fried eggplant with honey and a traditional dessert. It’s a full immersion into Malaga's gastronomic culture and the Costa del Sol way of life. After dinner, re-board your coach and commence the short drive back to the pier.
