Local Flavours: What to Try on the Costa del Sol

Food is an essential part of a Costa del Sol holiday. The area combines fresh Mediterranean ingredients with relaxed Andalusian dining.

What to try

Look for grilled sardines, fresh fish, gambas pil-pil, gazpacho, salmorejo and a selection of tapas. For something sweet, try churros or a local pastry with coffee.

Enjoy it like a local

Lunch is often later than visitors expect, and dinner may begin after 8:30 pm. Take your time, share several dishes and enjoy the atmosphere.
