Part 2/8:

Lunch in Malaga is quite different from the early afternoon meals common in many other countries. Restaurants begin serving lunch around 2:30 p.m., and dining out at that time is essential to feel the full essence of local life. As the afternoon rolls in, tourists and residents alike indulge in coffee breaks, ice cream, and pastries—a perfect prelude to the evening tapas scene.

The Evening Tapas Culture

As the sun begins to set, the vibrant tapas culture of Malaga comes alive. Tinto de Verano, a refreshing drink made with red wine and lemon soda, becomes popular when the temperature rises. Those who prefer a drier option can try local sweet wines or the crisp Verdejo white wine.
