Day 1 

Morning

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. 

Evening

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).

Have drinks around the area at any bar / restaurant! Don’t forget to have sangria and vermut.

Day 3

Day trip out to Caminito del Rey

Checkout the day tour linked above which we took. It was reliable and was worth the trip out! Be sure to pack sunscreen and water if you're going in the Summer and wear good shoes. This whole trip took between 6-8 hours.

El Mesón de Cervantes
@annechua
A more upscale tapas and seafood restaurant which we really enjoyed the different variety of tapas
