Casa Aranda
@annechua
One of the best-rated Churro's places in Malaga! Extremely busy but with a quick turnover so don't be put off by the lack of seats. Also be sure to try out their local style of coffee

Relax / have a siesta after the hike (especially if you go during Summer), enjoy some Sangria or relax back at your hotel / Airbnb.

Bar LA TRANCA
@annechua
A very popular tapas bar for both locals and tourists, and there are only standing / high chair seats. Would recommend going early to avoid the crowds (though there will always be a crowd).
