Illari Vinos y Tapas

It's really hard to imagine a better evening than going to different restaurants spilling into the street, enjoying small Spanish dishes, and sipping on glasses of fine wine for as little as €2 a glass. Málaga is an amazing place to enjoy Spain's culinary peaks. While you could easily go to these establishments to get dinner, when in Spain do as the Spaniards do. The best way to enjoy Spanish tapas is to do a tapas crawl, order two or three plates at each establishment, get one glass of wine, and then saunter to the next place. I highly recommend this - especially if you only have a limited time in Málaga!

Although less famous than its Andalusian neighbours (Seville, Córdoba and Granada), Málaga is no slouch in terms of history and culture: its 3,000 years of history make it one of the oldest cities in Europe. A stroll through the historic centre is a journey through time through the Phoenician, Roman, Arab and Christian eras, with attractions such as the 1st-century Roman Theatre, the 11th-century Arab Alcazaba, the 16th-century Gibralfaro Castle (built on the ruins of a Phoenician lighthouse) and the Málaga Cathedral, one of the finest examples of the Andalusian Renaissance. Just to whet your appetite.
