La Mitad of Malaga, cafe con leche

The Mitad

There is no bar or café in Spain that doesn't serve espresso, no watery brewed stuff so often available elsewhere. In Malaga it's called a 'Mitad' meaning half... half espresso and half milk.

The Evening Ritual


Where
Tapa is King

Locals flock to little bars scattered over the centre where they mingle with friends over wine and tapas in one of the the south’s liveliest cities. The evening ritual begins around 8p.m. when what seems to be the entire population fill the streets and descend on tapa bars throughout the city..

The corner café

Is there a corner in Malaga without a café? In this mild Mediterranean climate streets are crowded with diners day and night. Old favorites: boquerones, tortilla, jamon Iberico and fresh clams can all be found all over the city. Some of the better places are hidden away in back streets and well worth seeking out. Others can be found at the beach cafés, 'Chiringuitos'.

Leading us to temptation

Sitting at a tapa bar the customer is forever confronted with the sight of delicious food. Hungry or not the temptation to try a small bite is always there. Despite all this eating Spaniards tend not to be grossly overweight.
