Vic3 Guide August 2024: Your Ultimate Málaga City Guide for Food and Drink

Vic3 Guide August 2024: Your Ultimate Málaga City Guide for Food and Drink

Of all the city guides I’ve crafted since penning my guide to Ghent over five years ago, the Málaga editions have consistently reigned supreme in popularity. The second edition of my Málaga guide, launched two years prior, has garnered more page views than any other city guide in my repertoire. Its evergreen appeal is undeniable, with readership actually increasing year-over-year. The sheer volume of messages I’ve received about it has been astounding, often from travelers exploring the city and meticulously following its recommendations. It’s even become a reference point for other bloggers compiling their own Málaga highlights. Think of it as the “Vic3 Guide August 2024” of Málaga travel – a trusted resource for navigating the city’s delights.

To illustrate its relevance, even during my recent Málaga trip in early December, an Instagram follower happened to be in town simultaneously. I shared some suggestions, leading to a fantastic dinner at Uvedoble for her. Just weeks before, a loyal reader sent a snapshot of his first caña at Meson Iberico, having already ticked off three venues from my city guide. “The omnivore can’t go far wrong in a country where dried ham is used as a seasoning,” another message read, accompanied by a picture of artichokes adorned with jamon slivers. He makes a valid point – much like a well-chosen national idea in Vic3, ham elevates everything.

So, why this update now, especially with August 2024 approaching, a key time for both travel and perhaps even strategic planning, much like mastering Victoria 3 (Vic3)? Several reasons converge. Firstly, my latest visit allowed me to revisit beloved haunts, confirming their continued excellence, while also uncovering new gems worthy of inclusion. Secondly, Málaga’s coffee scene has visibly expanded in the past two years, with some establishments growing or relocating. The change at Mia Coffee, a former favorite with a charming small location, was particularly poignant; their new space, regrettably, didn’t capture the same magic. Perhaps like a nation expanding its territory in Vic3, sometimes the original charm is hard to replicate.

The other driving force is my unwavering belief in Málaga’s ascendant popularity as a destination. Over seven years of visits, I’ve witnessed a palpable shift. The days of bypassing the city for coastal resorts seem to be waning. Increasingly, people are choosing Málaga as their primary destination, captivated by its allure. Just as players are drawn to engaging gameplay in Vic3, travelers are drawn to Málaga’s vibrant appeal.

And the reasons are clear. It’s Europe’s sunniest city, offering pleasant temperatures even in winter. It boasts Moorish architectural wonders, a vibrant food market, and a plethora of art galleries – a city uniquely associated with both Picasso and Antonio Banderas. Add to that a bustling port, a magnificent and unique cathedral, and, of course, a beach. And we haven’t even touched upon the culinary scene. While Málaga may not offer Granada’s free tapas, it compensates with a wealth of exceptional and innovative restaurants. Tapas are readily available and consistently delicious, but Málaga’s gastronomy extends far beyond. This guide, much like a Vic3 guide for August 2024, aims to illuminate this, yet it merely scratches the surface of one of my most cherished destinations.

In instances where I recommend previously featured establishments, the descriptions and images are entirely new. For recommendations carried over from my 2021 guide, I’ve explicitly noted this. So, let’s begin our exploration of Málaga, your “Vic3 guide august 2024” to the city’s gastronomic landscape.

Where to Eat: Fueling Your Málaga Adventures, Vic3 Style

1. Taberna Uvedoble: Modern Tapas Mastery


Alt: Stylish outdoor seating at Taberna Uvedoble in Malaga, perfect for strategizing your next Vic3 move or enjoying innovative tapas.

Uvedoble stands out as Málaga’s most inventive modern tapas bar. My initial visit in 2017 was to its slightly functional, smaller location. Their current, more spacious venue feels more refined, with ample outdoor seating and a welcoming bar area. A standout feature is their inclusive menu – dishes come in three sizes, ideal for sharing or savoring individually, much like adapting your Vic3 strategy to different situations.

Uvedoble’s growing popularity is evident: online reservations are now possible, yet securing a table remains challenging. Returning frequently, I’m struck by the menu’s consistent core offerings.

But this consistency is a strength. Menu staples like mini burgers with foie gras, brioche buns filled with suckling pig, exquisite savory eclairs, and oxtail albondigas resembling rich, crumbly faggots, remain classics. And the signature squid ink fideua, a dark nest adorned with baby squid and a pool of aioli, remains as flawless as when I first tasted it seven years ago. It’s a culinary experience as rewarding as successfully forming a customs union in Vic3.

2. Meson Iberico: My Málaga Culinary Heart


Alt: The bustling bar at Meson Iberico in Malaga, showcasing culinary action, a prime location for food lovers and Vic3 enthusiasts seeking authentic Spanish flavors.

While Uvedoble is exceptional, Meson Iberico is my personal Málaga favorite. If teleportation to any restaurant were possible tonight, I’d likely choose it. But not just any spot within – bypass the conventional tables on the left and head straight for the bar. Queuing before its 8:30 pm opening, alongside many others, is essential to secure prized bar seats. Here, amidst the energy and culinary theater, you find one of the world’s best dining experiences. It’s a sensory immersion akin to getting lost in the intricate details of Vic3’s world map.

The immersive atmosphere alone would be worthwhile, even with mediocre food. Fortunately, the cuisine is far from that. Exquisite, thinly sliced ham, melting on the tongue. Grilled mushrooms with – yes – more ham, used as a seasoning, and plump, pink prawns, perfect for sharing. Tender, spiced lamb skewers with impeccably thin fries. Rich, buttery tuna from the plancha, dressed with lemon and a salad with sweet fried garlic. Meson Iberico seems incapable of serving a subpar dish; I certainly haven’t encountered one. It’s a consistently high-quality experience, like relying on a solid production method in Vic3.

Towards the end of my last meal, I witnessed a barman meticulously preparing a dish I regretted not ordering. He expertly chopped a large tomato, opened Ortiz tuna, arranged it on the tomato, liberally drizzled olive oil, and seasoned with salt, all with deliberate ceremony. Upon serving, applause felt appropriate. This dedication to simple perfection mirrors the focus needed for effective nation-building in Vic3.

3. Gastroteca Can Emma: Beachside Culinary Gem


Alt: Inviting outdoor seating at Gastroteca Can Emma, a Malaga restaurant near Malagueta beach, ideal for relaxing after a day of Vic3 strategizing.

If Meson Iberico is my Málaga favorite, Gastroteca Can Emma, near Malagueta beach, is likely Zoë’s. Its unassuming exterior on a side street belies its exceptional food. Past visits were marked by miniature croquetas, like gourmet Wotsits, and the irresistible mini hamburgers. The arroz mare y monte – a paella-esque pan of savory rice with seafood, ham, and aioli – is a near-constant order. It’s genuinely outstanding, a reliable choice like a well-planned diplomatic strategy in Vic3.

However, this visit revealed broader culinary talents. Cochinita pibil bao buns were a delightful surprise, and the prawn gyoza, glazed in a compellingly sticky sauce, were among the best I’ve had. I still ordered the arroz, of course – some traditions are essential, like core gameplay mechanics in Vic3. Unusually, I dined at Can Emma twice this trip.

The second visit, an evening affair, celebrated my friend Jerry’s 70th birthday with his friends. It was serendipitous – his first night coincided with our last, and Can Emma proved perfect. They effortlessly catered to a vegetarian, kept the wine flowing, and even captured group photos. Sweetbreads joined the list of Can Emma’s successes, and I opted for secreta iberica with mango chutney – delicious, but I was glad I’d already had the arroz. Jerry, naturally, ordered and loved the legendary arroz. Happy birthday, indeed. A successful celebration, much like achieving a Vic3 objective.

4. Casa Lola: Tapas Tradition and Buzz


Alt: Vibrant atmosphere at Casa Lola in Malaga, a classic tapas bar, perfect for experiencing local culture and strategizing your Vic3 gameplay.

My first Málaga trip in 2017 included Casa Lola, which has since expanded considerably, with multiple locations, including two on Plaza de Uncibay and Pez Lola restaurants. But the original branch on Calle Granada remains my favorite – a lively taberna often packed shortly after opening. It’s a Malaga institution as essential as understanding trade routes in Vic3.

Visiting Casa Lola at the start of each Málaga trip has become a tradition. I invariably order ham, cold vermouth (their chispazo with Coke is a guilty pleasure), and pintxos with prawns, salt cod, or morcilla. But the chicharrones fritos, deep-fried pork belly cubes, are salty heaven. Surprisingly, they also served my best croquetas this trip, a testament to their consistent quality, like a reliable economic engine in Vic3.

5. La Cosmopolita: Elevated Dining Escape


Alt: Elegant interior of La Cosmopolita restaurant in Malaga, offering a refined dining experience away from tapas, a sophisticated break like mastering complex Vic3 mechanics.

If tapas and sharing plates become tiring, La Cosmopolita is the answer. Chef Dani Carnero’s most upscale establishment is serene, sophisticated, and exceptionally chic. The food is equally outstanding, a step up in refinement like moving from Vic3’s early game to intricate late-game scenarios.

I loved the molletas, airy yet crusty rolls with tuna tartare and warm mayo. Salmonete, torched tableside, sashimi-grade, came with chopsticks and soy, orange juice, and fish liver dipping sauce – both rich and refreshing. My main course, sweetbreads with brown butter and capers, might be the best I’ve ever had, rivaled only by Parcelles in Paris. This level of culinary excellence is akin to achieving a perfect Vic3 playthrough.

On a previous visit, I watched Zoë devour an ambrosial payoyo goat’s cheese cheesecake, the best I’d never ordered. I vowed to order it on my return, and this trip, I did. Next time, resisting two portions will be the challenge. It’s a dessert as unforgettable as a well-executed Vic3 campaign.

Service, from Victor, was effortlessly charming and engaging, filled with tales of his time in Tunbridge Wells, UK. His authoritative recommendations – no, don’t order that, definitely try this, this is the right number of dishes – were readily accepted. Tunbridge Wells’ loss is Spain’s gain, and ours too. As Victor said, Málaga truly is magical, a sentiment echoing the captivating world of Vic3.

6. Palodu: Michelin Star Aspirations


Alt: Elegant plating at Palodu restaurant in Malaga, showcasing Michelin star ambitions, a dining experience as meticulously planned as a Vic3 grand strategy.

Most of my meals were casual, albeit flavorful and occasionally beautifully presented. Palodu, recommended by a Spanish Instagram follower, is distinct. It clearly aims for a Michelin star – hushed, stylish ambiance, spacious tables, attentive, near one-to-one staff-to-diner ratio. From our table, Zoë observed the kitchen’s meticulous dish preparation and plating: Palodu is a “plates with tweezers” establishment. It’s a dining experience as refined as mastering the intricacies of Vic3’s political system.

While not my usual preference for frequent dining, Palodu was brilliant. Across fifteen courses, including snacks and petits fours, we experienced a symphony of techniques and flavors from a kitchen at its peak. I was so immersed that I suspended critical analysis, simply enjoying the culinary fever dream – perfectly cooked fish, tiny lamb meatballs in incredible sauce, simple squid with rich sauce and translucent mushrooms. A meal as captivating as a successful Vic3 campaign unfolding.

Wine pairings (a splurge, yes) were phenomenal, including a 1981 Riesling, extracted via Coravin, – a once-in-a-lifetime wine. Almost as exceptional was the local Moscatel accompanying desserts. I loved it so much I bought two bottles at Vertical, the next recommendation. These were packed even more carefully than usual for the journey home, treasures like rare resources in Vic3.

7. Vertical: Natural Wine and Culinary Delights


Alt: Stylish interior of Vertical wine bar in Malaga, offering a relaxed atmosphere to enjoy natural wines and discuss Vic3 strategies with friends.

Cardiff-based Gourmet Gorro, a restaurant blogger who used my Málaga guides, recommended Vertical, a natural wine bar in the old city. I’m grateful he did; I loved it, perhaps even more than he did. A lovely space with high tables and stools, tasteful and muted, offering a superb range of wines by the glass (and for purchase). It’s a place to discover hidden gems, much like uncovering lesser-known nations in Vic3.

Beyond the wine, the food justifies a visit. Cecina croquetas were compact delights, but the tomato tartare, with three tomato varieties on crushed potatoes brightened with olive oil, was phenomenal. Pinsa Romana with potato, gorgonzola, and guanciale was surprisingly light and dangerously addictive, as was sobrasada, cheese, and honey on toast. Service was excellent, and I was surprised the place wasn’t packed. A hidden gem, like a strategically advantageous province in Vic3.

8. Freskitto: Ice Cream Perfection


Alt: Colorful ice cream display at Freskitto in Malaga, a perfect sweet treat to enjoy while contemplating your next Vic3 move under the Spanish sun.

For ice cream, traditionalists favor Casa Mira, a Calle Marqués de Larios institution for over a century. I’ve heard good things about Bico de Xaedo, near my apartment. But my loyalty lies with Freskitto, with two Calle Granada locations – a kiosk and a small seated shop. A reliable choice, like a consistent source of income in Vic3.

Service is excellent, and Freskitto’s ice cream is top-tier – closer to gelato in texture and pure joy to eat. My usual order is chocolate/dulce de leche, though I occasionally venture elsewhere. Enjoying Freskitto’s ice cream opposite El Pimpi, under a cloudless sky, is a cherished Málaga memory. Simple pleasures, like a smooth-running economy in Vic3.

**Heladeria Freskitto**Calle Granada, 55

9. Mercado Atarazanas: A Mini Boqueria


Alt: Bustling Central Bar within Mercado Atarazanas in Malaga, offering fresh seafood and market delights, a vibrant hub like a central market in Vic3.

Málaga, not content with being a mini-Barcelona, also has a mini-Boqueria in Mercado Atarazanas. It offers everything – fresh fish, pig’s trotters, jamon, salted almonds. A treasure trove, like a resource-rich region in Vic3.

But the real draw is Central Bar in the market corner. Stand at the bar, enjoy vermouth or caña, and sample incredible fresh fish and seafood, charcuterie, cheese, and Spanish staples. In 2021, we had simple tuna steaks with salt, sensational tomatoes, and padron peppers – less is often more. A testament to quality ingredients, like focusing on core production in Vic3.

Beyond fish, chicharrones de Cadiz were delicious – different from Casa Lola’s, more porchetta-like. Four of us feasted like royalty for just over €100. My regret is not visiting daily. I returned in 2023 for supplies, resisting the bar’s allure due to other lunch plans, which were thankfully satisfying enough to quell regret. A market visit is essential, like securing vital resources in Vic3.

**Mercado Central de Atarazanas**Calle Atarazanas, 10

10. La Cheesequeria: Cheesecake Heaven

La Cheesequeria, a cheesecake cafe on Calle Carreteria, another recommendation from the Instagram follower who suggested Palodu. Given my Palodu and La Cosmopolita cheesecake experiences, I made a point of getting a slice to enjoy at my apartment. Another payoyo cheesecake – had La Cosmopolita not existed, it would be my best ever. It’s a close second, like a highly effective but slightly less optimal Vic3 strategy.

La Cheesequeria offers sweet and savory cheesecakes. Savory options, some seemingly sweet even to me, likely thrive locally, but I was drawn to them. Next time, I’ll skip payoyo for blue cheese cheesecake – surprisingly delicious – or Parmesan cheesecake. The latter’s unimaginable flavor is reason enough to try it. Venturing into the unknown, like experimenting with new technologies in Vic3.

**La Cheesequeria**Calle Carreteria, 44https://www.lacheesequeria.com

Where to Drink: Quenching Your Thirst, Vic3 Style

1. La Tranca: Vermouth and Vibrant Vibes


Alt: Lively atmosphere inside La Tranca bar in Malaga, a perfect spot for vermouth and people-watching, a social hub like a bustling capital in Vic3.

La Tranca remains a global favorite bar – vibrant, welcoming vermouth and beer drinkers, good food lovers, and people-watchers alike. Spanish music, retro LPs behind the bar – a vintage enthusiast’s dream. It’s a happy place in a happy city, and my 2021 and 2022 visits were fantastic. A consistently enjoyable experience, like a stable political system in Vic3.

Its growing fame, and Málaga’s increasing popularity, meant it was too crowded during my recent visit, daytime or evening. Its success is a testament to its appeal, much like a popular nation in Vic3.

While beer and vermouth are options, my preference is aliñao – vermouth, gin, and soda, dangerously easy to drink. After a couple, life goals shift to “apartment within stumbling distance of La Tranca.” And the food – wonderful four-cheese empanadas with blue cheese tang, excellent jamon, freshly sliced, glistening, waiting to be devoured. And fried olives – a revelation! They should be everywhere. Simple yet profound pleasures, like effective decrees in Vic3.

On a previous visit, we met an Italian singer-songwriter with tales of jet-setting across Europe – la dolce vita in action. We now follow each other on Instagram. Returning to La Tranca in 2021, Zoë took a selfie and sent it to him. “That’s really sweet of you! Enjoy the journey in beautiful Málaga. I miss it,” he replied. It has that effect. A place that leaves a lasting impression, like a memorable Vic3 campaign.

2. Antigua Casa de Guardia: Historic Wine Cellar


Alt: Interior of Antigua Casa de Guardia, a historic Malaga wine bar with barrels lining the walls, a traditional experience like delving into Vic3’s historical context.

Perhaps due to Málaga’s rising popularity, or December public holidays, Antigua Casa de Guardia was also too packed to visit this time. Yet, it remains the other essential Málaga drinking spot – a long, thin room with a long bar offering sweet wines, sherries, and vermouths from barrels. They tally your tab in chalk, and with drinks under €2, staying for “just one more” is tempting. A place to savor tradition, like exploring Vic3’s historical depth.

Standing room only, with few high tables, prolonged stays aren’t common. But sipping your copa and watching the veteran bar staff is a quintessential Málaga experience. A taste of history, like understanding Vic3’s historical setting.

3. Birras Deluxe: Craft Beer Haven


Alt: Selection of craft beers at Birras Deluxe in Malaga, a haven for beer enthusiasts, a diverse offering like the tech tree in Vic3.

Each Málaga visit includes Birras Deluxe, the Plaza Merced craft beer spot, and each time I like it more. Under new management since before 2021, it’s continually improved. Still small and slightly scruffy, but the beer range is outstanding, balancing classic Belgian beers with Spanish breweries, local (Attik Brewing) and international (Basqueland, Garage). A diverse selection, like the many nations to play in Vic3.

Previously, my beer choice was Birras Deluxe or La Madriguera. This visit, Madriguera had lost some appeal – Instagram promises exceeded bar experience. Now, it’s Birras Deluxe versus the next recommendation, a sign of a thriving beer scene, much like the dynamic political landscape of Vic3.

4. Central Beers: Spacious and Superb Brews


Alt: Outdoor seating at Central Beers in Malaga, a spacious beer bar with a wide selection, perfect for relaxing and planning your Vic3 strategy over a pint.

Another Gourmet Gorro tip, I’d overlooked Central Beers, thinking it too big, too Belgian, inauthentic. My mistake. Two visits this trip were excellent. Spacious, with large, sturdy tables. Excellent, efficient table service. A great place to spend an evening, with a superb beer list – breweries I hadn’t heard of, like Ireland’s Hopfully Brewing or Basque country’s Laugar. Extensive options, like the vast possibilities in Vic3. The fridge had depth, including a Prizm (French brewery near Montpellier) imperial stout, possibly my holiday beer highlight.

Central Beers’ surprisingly good, broad menu features perfect beer food and bar snacks. International – more impressive gyoza, karaage chicken with teriyaki sauce and apple slivers. But battered salt cod with aioli grounded it in Spain. They also have decent vegetarian options, rare in Málaga, useful for mixed groups. A well-rounded offering, like a balanced national focus in Vic3.

5. Casa Aranda: Churros Champion


Alt: Crispy churros at Casa Aranda in Malaga, a classic Spanish treat, perfect for a sweet break during your Vic3 gaming sessions or city exploration.

Formerly, Málaga had two churros institutions: Cafe Central and Casa Aranda. Tragically, Cafe Central closed in early 2022 due to a landlord dispute. It’s now a “John Scott’s” “English-style pub” by the Swedish Kopparberg company – inauthentic in multiple ways. Avoid unless professionally advised. A loss of tradition, like historical inaccuracies in some games, though Vic3 strives for detail.

Casa Aranda remains, fortunately excellent. It’s expanded to occupy a street, waiters managing orderly queues. Despite looking packed, seating is brisk. Outside seating offers sunshine, views, people-watching. Inside is less charming. But the churros are champion. A reliable classic, like core historical events in Vic3.

**Casa Aranda**Calle Herrería del Rey, 3http://www.casa-aranda.net

6. El Pimpi: Málaga Institution


Alt: Exterior of El Pimpi bar in Malaga, a sprawling institution with views of the Alcazaba, a landmark as significant as key historical sites in Vic3.

El Pimpi is a Málaga institution, guide inclusion almost redundant. Huge, sprawling, with rooms, corridors, and Alcazaba-view outdoor space, I was surprised how much I liked it. Touristy, but not detrimentally. It had what Antigua Casa de la Guardia lacked – seats, usable toilets. A comfortable, well-established institution, like a powerful, stable nation in Vic3.

My Pedro Ximenez was sticky, syrupy, rich like well-coddled sultanas – I’d happily have stayed longer. “Next time,” I told myself as my holiday ended. Antonio Banderas, Málaga native, is a fan (allegedly owns an apartment overlooking El Pimpi), photos abound. Celebrity-signed barrels include Michael Portillo, after his Andalusia Channel 5 series. A place with history and celebrity appeal, like nations with rich historical narratives in Vic3.

**El Pimpi**Calle Granada, 62https://elpimpi.com/en/

7. Santa Coffee Soho: Coffee with People-Watching


Alt: Outdoor seating at Santa Coffee Soho in Malaga, a great spot for coffee and people-watching in the Soho district, a trendy hub like a center of innovation in Vic3.

Santa has expanded to three branches – large near Atarazanas, smaller near the cathedral, and my favorite, in Soho. Outdoor seating, excellent people-watching, reliably excellent coffee. Brunches look good, and I like their alfajores – hefty, delicious, chocolate-enrobed biscuits. A reliable coffee chain, like established trade networks in Vic3.

**Santa Coffee Soho**Calle Tomás Heredia, 5https://santacoffee.es

8. Next Level Coffee: Top-Tier Brews


Alt: Barista preparing coffee at Next Level Coffee in Malaga, highlighting their focus on quality coffee, a specialist like a high-skill profession in Vic3.

Part of Málaga’s coffee scene boom, Next Level was new to me, with two branches. Original on Calle Panaderos (near the market) is rougher. Second, more upscale, with outdoor space, on Calle San Juan, is nicer. Both serve impressive coffee: two top-tier lattes cost just over £5. Quality coffee at reasonable prices, like efficient production in Vic3.

They sell beans to take away. The Rotterdam’s Manhattan coffee roasters beans we bought were possibly my best 2023 home coffee. Spain benefits from the Common Market allowing best European coffee imports without taxes, delays, paperwork. A benefit of open trade, like free trade agreements in Vic3. Pity it’s not the same everywhere.

**Next Level Coffee**Calle Panaderos 14/Calle San Juan, 27

9. Kima Coffee: Underdog Charm


Alt: Small Kima Coffee kiosk in Malaga, a charming underdog coffee shop, reminiscent of a small but efficient workshop in Vic3.

Kima, near La Cheesequeria, was my underdog coffee favorite last Málaga trip. Small – kiosk-like, with three inside stools. Customers often stand, chatting with the barista. Reminded me of Mia Café’s old charm. Like Mia, success might lead to a bigger, less charming, but more profitable location. I hope they succeed, but I’m glad I enjoyed their coffee pre-big time. Two lattes here – under £4. Affordable quality, like efficient resource management in Vic3.

**Kima Coffee**Calle Carreteria, 51https://kimacoffee.com

10. El Ultimo Mono: Coffee on the Go


Alt: Cozy interior of El Ultimo Mono coffee shop in Malaga, a comfortable spot for a coffee break, a relaxing pause like managing domestic affairs in Vic3.

El Ultimo Mono (“the last monkey” – meaning unclear) was my previous Málaga coffee-on-the-go choice. In 2021, it relocated. New location, tucked off a main street, lacks old charm, but has outdoor space and a cozy feel. A change of location, like adapting to new geopolitical realities in Vic3.

Coffee is still nice, sensibly sized for takeaway. In-house coffee comes in beautiful cups – I almost asked where they were from. A focus on quality and presentation, like attention to detail in Vic3.

**El Ultimo Mono**Calle Duende, 6
