In Andalusia in general and Malaga in particular, we love to eat outside. Malaga is a city with spectacular weather where you can enjoy eating outdoors. All over the city you will find bars with terraces both on the street and on rooftops. In this section we have created a varied selection, from the classics to the exclusive ones. We do want to issue a warning, the center of Malaga is an area with a lot of tourist pressure and its neighbors are affected by the noise from the terraces.
