We visited El Pimpi for lunch a couple of weeks ago. It was fabulous. Lovely restaurant, really different tapas, and brilliant staff. The best food we had in Spain on our holiday.

If he's in the city there's a possibility you might bump into Antonio Banderas in this unique bodega. It's small front entrance belies the size of this building which is spread over 2 floors containing 5 or 6 rooms of various sizes. The atmosphere, especially in the evenings, is busy and jovial.

Great location in the centre of Malaga city-full of atmosphere with seating both inside and out. Menu to suit everybody from tapa to slap up meal. Service very good and a great place to people watch !!

Worth a visit just for the history. Full of Flamenco dancers and singers of the past. Their photographs line the walls with known celebrities. Very friendly staff. Good selection of wines and nibbles. A nice outdoor area and various selection of "rooms".
