Bodega Guerola
Must try
Its caldito de pintarroja (small-spotted catshark broth) made the list of the 20 best tapas in the province of Málaga Hoy (official website). In 2026 reviews: Galician-style octopus, chanquetes (tiny fried fish), puntillitas (baby squid), fried squid and coquinas (small clams) with homemade mayonnaise, prawns pil-pil and cod in spicy sauce.
About
Bodega opened in 1962 (official website), with a bar, a small dining room and a terrace. Tapas, half portions and full portions with plenty of fresh fish and seafood.
Good to know
Book or go straight to the bar. Some found the choice of tapas short (2026). For reference, a group of 6 paid €220 for food and drink.
Getting there and parking
On the street of the Casa de los Navajas, a step from the public lift to the Bajondillo (Plaza del Panorama).
