Really nice fritura for 2px for lunch along with a mixed salad, good fresh bread rolls, 2 beers, 2 coffees and a brace of Pacharans for €30. Well battered and fried nicely with a good selection of fish. Recommended and will return.

Bar juani: proper traditional Spanish bar outskirts of Malaga, by the sea, hard working locals for locals and all!. Home cooking, fresh everything!: seafood fish and proper Spanish tapas and Malaga sweet wine and all at scandalously low rates (proper Spanish Euro rates, down-the road, meeting bar!). See you in a couple of days when I'm off work, book me a table for 4 for lunch, please, Juani!.
