Fritura Malagueña
Going to the Costa del Sol without trying its famous pescaíto frito would be like going to one of its beaches and not taking a dip in the sea. This culinary tradition dates back to the age of “al-Andalus.”
The best thing about it is that there aren’t any specific ingredients, so you can use your favourite fish or whatever you have on hand at home. It’s an authentic delicacy!
