Local Specialities
Marbella is never short of Tapas, the most famous plate being “fritura malaguena” which consists of fried fish based on the catch of the day. Sometimes “ajo blanco” a garlicky local version of gazpacho made with almonds is served, especially in the summer. Fried squid or octopus is another favourite, as are little Spanish style herb- flavoured meatballs. Tortilla (an omelette, often with potatoes) is the most popular egg dish. Other well known tapas include pungent tuna, grilled shrimp, “piquillos rellenos” (red peppers stuffed with fish), “bacalao” (salt cod) and mushrooms sautéed in olive oil and garlic.
