Málaga's gastronomy results from the legacy of the different cultures and peoples who have passed through its fertile lands over the course of its history. Culinary influences that draw from Phoenician salted meats and fish, Arabic confectionery and agricultural techniques, and include the Roman traditions of wine-making and conserved fish have defined some unique culinary customs.
