In Torremolinos you can try all the popular dishes of the
Costa del Sol´s cuisine in particular and the Andalusian
in general, not forgetting the more than 250 international
restaurants offering Italian, German, English, Scandinavian,
American, Indonesian, Chinese and Japanese cuisine, making
it possible to satisfy other tastes and palates.
Nevertheless it is at the beach restaurants known as Chiringuitos
where the visitor finds the most authentic dishes of the
local cuisine, like its fried fish known as pescaito frito,
this name became a trademark in la Carihuela in the early
60´s its paellas, coquinas, shellfish soup, sardines,
salt baked fish and the refreshing and nutritious gazpacho,
made with our local ingredients: olive oil, tomatoes, garlic,
vinegar and that special touch make it unique.
Other highly recommended typical dishes from Malaga are
without doubt, the roasted bell pepper salad, where the
baked peppers are cut into strips and mixed with a little
onion and tomato, and later marinated in oil, vinegar and
salt; el adobo and fish with ali-oli. Among the desserts
special mention goes to the typical Tortas de Aceite de
Torremolinos.
