“Adriano was our guide. Walked us through the old part on Malaga to a place where the locals eat. We sat at a big table and fed us all kinds of amazing small plates of food and beer or wine. Then we walked down to the port area to a wine bar where they had huge casks of sweet mediera wine and more plates of food. Worth every penny. Great food tour”

We first went to the oldest winery where we had a shot of the sweet wine. The next place we went to had an interesting design and history but the food was mediocre We had one plate of chicken with tomato and a potato salad with orange plus we both got a glass of wine. Then we went to the second place which wanted to serve us the same potato salad and a tuna with peppers. We returned the salad and…”
