Gastronomy in Malaga
The typical cuisine of Malaga is like throughout Andalusia, light, healthy and always prepared with fresh Mediterranean ingredients. The use of olive oil for cooking in Andalusia has proven to decrease the possibility of heart diseases, improve the blood circulation and digestion and the oil as well is rich in vitamins (A, D, E, K).
Being a costal province has made a great influence in the cuisine of Malaga, which includes a great variety of seafood. Some of the most typical dishes are Shrimps in all variations, roasted or boiled, fried fish (Pescaito Frito), Chanquetes (a small fish in the anchovy family) and boquerones in vinagre (also a small fish which has been marinated in vinegar for a day).
