This former fishers village is now the place to be to eat Espetos, grilled sardines on a skewer. They are grilled on boats that can turn, so they can adjust for the wind. You can go by bike, bus or taxi. This is also the area where we rent out a completely renovated fisherman’s house.

Same as El Palo, a former fisher village. This is a bit more busy as it is closer by Malaga city. You can go by bike, bus or taxi. Have some great grilled fish in one of the restaurants. Pick one with lots of Spanish people ;-).
