Al-ndaluswith all five
senses
CAN you imagine going back in time for an instant,to the splendour of the Nasrids? Well, that is what
awaits you at the Hammam Al-ndalus Mlaga,situated in the heart of the historic city centre. It isone of those wonderful Arab baths where all five
senses are able to perceive the Arab culture. To makethis possible, there are five baths at differenttemperatures, which just over 500 years ago werepart of the routine ritual of purification and
beautifying, together with the steam rooms androoms for rest and massages.
In this historic building, which is more than 1,300
square metres in size, the sense of relaxationbegins from the first moment. The beautifuldecoration in Nasrid style, the music in the
background and the aromas of that era, such asjasmine, are present throughout the session.
Obviously, the most important elements are the
baths and the subsequent massage. The clients,who are attended by a host to guide them througheach stage of the process, pass through the
Hamman, where the contrasting temperatures of
the water are the greatest stimulant or the
greatest relaxation for the skin.
The secret of these Arab baths is the thermalheating of the water in its pools. Each pool has a
different temperature but, apart from the onewhich is 18C, they are all heated by a complexsystem in which the earth acts as a thermalemitter. This means that the waters go down about
150 metres before entering the pool, which iswithout a doubt a complex work of engineeringwhich is as original as it is effective.
The massages are the perfect complement to thedifferent baths. There are various possibilities, froma relaxing massage to the purifying Kessa, based

aromatic mix of green tea and mint.Thiscompletes the process of relaxation which involvesall the senses, from the aromas to the backgroundmusic, the sensation of the water and the
massages, the view of the beautiful dcor and the
taste of authentic tea of the era.
Thanks to all this, in little more than an hour and a
half clients can get rid of tension and recover from
stress in the most natural way possible, with a
sensory stimulation which is loaded with history.
It took 10 years of painstaking work and research
to make this impressive Nasrid building possible.Inaugurated in 2013, it has the perfect ambience,
an authentic Nasrid palace which has succeeded
in recreating the essence of Arab baths of the era.
And as such, it couldnt be anywhere else than in
one of the few cities of the world that experienced
that era: Mlaga.
on the Andalusi technique, or the massage with
foam in the style of the original Hammams. Butbefore entering the massage room, you choose theessence that you prefer: rose, lavender, red amber
or biznaga. All these fragrances are clearly inspiredby the ancient Al ndalus and, of course, each ofthem provides different benefits and sensations.
Between the bathing and the massage, clients canalso continue to relax as they savour thetraditional Arab drink, made with a mild and

MLAGA has about ten kilometres of seafront
promenades within its urban area, running rightalongside the beach.
The city of Mlaga can boast 10 kilometres ofseafront promenade. From the Natural Park of theGuadalhorce River Estuary all the way to La Araa
beach, there is a truly Mediterranean walkway besidethe sea, with the exception of just a few stretches
where it passes the Port.
This is an easy route to walk and its surroundingsvary a great deal. It runs from the most traditionalareas on the eastern side of the city, such as the
fishing districts of Pedregalejo and El Palo, to themost spacious and modern ones on the westernside, where there are numerous garden areas and acycle path.
One of the busiest stretches begins at La Malaguetadistrict, beside the Muelle Uno and Dos quays. It ispopular not only with walkers, who enjoy exercising
beside a sea which is nearly almost calm, but alsowith those who like to run in the open air. Along thisstretch there is even gym equipment for people who
want to get fit outdoors.
Nor is there any lack of chiringuito beachrestaurants. These were renewed just over a year
ago with a modern design which sometimescontrasts with the traditional Mlaga cuisine, suchas sardines cooked on canes over an open fire andmixed fried fish.
In the easterly direction the promenade passes oneof the most remarkable vestiges of the Mlaga of the
last century, the Baos del Carmen, where it is worth
stopping to relax for a while to enjoy the views ofthe city.
Our walk then takes us towards the adjoining
districts of Pedregalejo and El Palo. Both of thesebegan as fishing communities, as can be seen from

find a seafront which is much more modern and
wider, although it manages to blend in harmoniouslywith the old iron industries. In fact, two impressive
chimneys still remain as landmarks.The promenades
here are named after Antonio Machado and Antonio
Banderas.
This area is especially busy when the sun goes down,
because the temperature is ideal then.At weekends,
the beaches of La Misericordia and Sacaba areparticularly busy because they are among the most
popular ones in the city and are easily accessible on
foot, by public transport or in private vehicles.
This promenade leads inexorably towards the
estuary of the Guadalhorce River, which is
considered one of the most important birdwatching
areas in southern Europe.This is due to the presence
of numerous migratory birds, who find this an
excellent place to rest.
the sometimes labyrinthine layout of the buildings
beside the seafront.
There, as well as restaurants which are famous for
their fried fish, we find bars which are an invitation
to relax and enjoy the view of the beach, which is
remarkably close. There are few other places in the
world where one can enjoy a delicious plate of clams
or sardines cooked on canes, right beside the sand.
Much more natural and less built-up is the stretch
that leads from El Palo to the beach of Pen del
Cuervo, interrupted in part because the area
becomes so narrow. Nowadays, the path uses part
of an old railway line which dates back to the early
20th century. It even passes through the same tunnel
which was once used by the trains of that era.

after the port (after the cargo unloading area), we

THE Costa del Sol in summer is a real Mecca of the
sea: shellfish, and fish cooked in different ways, are
some of the traditional specialities of the area.Dozens of beachside restaurants and bars offer a
wide-ranging taste of the Mediterranean, but one
dish, because of its ancient method of preparation,
rules supreme: it is the espeto de sardinas, or
sardines cooked on canes over an open fire.
Between Nerja and Manilva there are more than
100 kms of coast where lovers of good fish can try
this speciality.
In fact, a wide range of other fish can also be cooked
by this traditional technique (cuttlefish, bream,
seabass, turbot) but the king of the espeto is
undoubtedly the sardine. In Mlaga they know
what they are doing when it comes to this delicious
and nutritious fish, and there are even some popular
and amusing phrases which warn against the dates
when they should not be eaten: for example, If you
want to kill your wife, give her sardines on the Day
of San Miguel (29th September).
The shellfish are no less delicious and many of them
are prepared naturally, in other words they are
cooked and served with just a little lemon, such as
mussels and the conchas finas, or large clams,
which are so characteristic of the Mlaga coast.Also
popular are the navajas: the name comes from its
long shell which resembles a penknife. Different-sized clams such as almejas and coquinas, sea
snails, whelks and even scallops are other types of
seafood that can be found at this time of year.
There are of course others, such as the locally-caught
prawns which compete with the white version from
Huelva. The latter are more appreciated for their
flavour and size, although this also means that they
are more expensive. For those who dont mind
paying a bit more there are also crayfish, galleys,
jumbo shrimp and prawns from Garruca which are
caught off the coast of Almera. Somewhat cheaper
in price is pescato, small fish which are battered
and fried in olive oil (virgin extra olive oil is the best).
Anchovies, squid, different types of dogfish and
jurels are among the most common.
To sample these products it is best to go to the
beach, where there are plenty of bars, restaurants

job was traditionally done by retired fishermen, but
these days that is no longer the case.
The districts of Pedregalejo and El Palo, and the
Poniente and Antonio Machado seafront
promenades are home to some of the establishments
in the city of Mlaga which are best known for their
fresh fish and shellfish,such asVicen Playa, El Cabra,
El Caleo and Miguelito El Carioso, among others.
and the snack bars which are known as
merenderos on the eastern side of Malaga. There,
as well as great chefs who prepare each product toperfection, you will also find the espeteros who
during the summer stoically cook the sardines and
other fish over an open fire, which raises the
already-high temperature at this time of year even
higher. Tradition states that these should be cooked
in an old fishing boat, with the fire laid inside. This

Carratraca, Guaro, Salares, Archidona, Ctar andCrtama are some of the villages in Malagaprovince that celebrate festivals related to theirAndalusian past in September and October. Themost important, and the longest-established, arethe ones in Carratraca and Guaro.
The dates of these two festivals also partlycoincide: Carratraca celebrates its EmbrujoAndalus from 5th to 7th September, while in
Guaro the event takes place on two consecutiveweekends, the 5th/6th and 12th/13th
September.Although both of these compete toattract as many people as possible, they bothcommemorate the ancient Al-ndalus in a veryspecial way: by the light of thousands of candles.This is the only form of light once night has fallenand it creates a unique and remarkable ambiencewhich is complemented by other features such asmusic performances, bellydancing workshops,exhibitions, food and drink...
Salares also creates its own festival and this willtake place from 19th to 21st of this month. For

the 14th consecutive year, this village in LaAxarqua is the home of an event which aims to
recall the conciliatory spirit which is attributed tothe time of Al-ndalus. A similar event is held inCrtama, a village on the outskirts of Mlaga city,at the same time. There, it is based around thelegend of the lovely Jari fa, whose memory sti lllives on in the municipality.
Another event based on local history is theZambra Morisca in Archidona, which is scheduled
to take place towards the end of September. This
festival features Tello and Tagzona, the keypersonalities in the famous Legend of the Lovers.
The vil lage of Ctar, however, tends to hold itsfestival, the Fiesta del Monf, on the 12th Octoberpublic holiday, when it pays tribute to the Moors
who 'fled to the mountain' in the 16th century.
The Grand Festival ofSeptember
August may be a very special month in theprovince of Malaga because of the Fair and otherpopular events, but September is no less importantin this respect. In fact, several events take place atthis time of year and they are all very interesting forthose who wish to discover the local culture andgastronomy. Between the 6th and 28th Septemberthere are the Grape Harvesting Festivals in Mollinaand Manilva, the Vintners Festival of Moclinejo, theMoscatel Raisin Festival in El Borge and La Viuela,the Ajoblanco Festival in Almchar, the AnchovyFestival in Rincon de la Victoria, the Olive Fair inAlozaina, the Moorish Moon Festival in Guaro, thePedro Romero Fair in Ronda and the AndalusianEnchantment festival in Carratraca, among others.

The pata negra of olives
IF you want to eat olives in any bar or restaurant,ask for aceitunas aloreas; these are the only ones
to have a Denomination of Origin. They are
produced in two inland regions of Mlaga province
and their flavour has transcended borders. They are
so delicious that they are known as the pata negra
of olives, indicating that they are of the highest
quality. The best way to try them is in a dressing of
spices and local herbs such as fennel, rosemary orthyme, to which garlic, pepper and even orange peel
may also have been added.

Tips &Tricks
A town of beautiful buildings
at the heart of Andaluca
IN just half an hour by road or train from the centre
of Mlaga city, you can visit one of the most
important towns in Andaluca in terms of its historic
buildings: Antequera. There, an impressive
Renaissance and Baroque collection awaits, including
churches and monasteries as well as mansions. But
this towns history actually dates back thousands of
years; its heritage includes remains from the
Prehistoric Age, such as its important dolmens, and
the Roman and Moorish civilisations. It was the Moorswho built the Alcazaba fortress, which still stands
above the town centre of Antequera today.

Enjoy eating in the market
IN recent years it has become fashionable for indoor markets to
offer cooked food. And how could it be otherwise? the
Atarazanas market, which is the principal one in Mlaga city, is
one of these. At the moment, from Mondays to Saturdays, it ispossible to eat fried fish, clams, mussels and other seafood in the two
bars which are in the northwest and southwest corners of the building.
Sometimes another product is available which is highly recommended
for those who like to try something different: monkfish liver.
The temple of sweet wine
AT the heart of the historic city centre, beside the
Alameda, is the Casa de Guardia, a bar which is
famous for its sweet wines, made with Moscatel or
Pedro Ximn grapes. First-time visitors will find a
great deal to surprise them here. As well as a wide
variety of wines to choose from (served directly fromthe barrels), the staff use the old custom of writing down
the price of everything you order in chalk on the wooden
bar. As well as wines, you can also try different types of
shellfish here.
A birdwatching observatory beside
the city
ON the far western side of Mlaga, very close to the Martn Carpena
sports stadium, you can visit one of the most important places for
ornithology in southern Europe. This is the Guadalhorce River
Estuary, a beauty spot where there are numerous species of birds,
many of them migratory. Grebes, ruddy ducks, black-headed gulls
and even pink flamingoes are some of those that can be seen on
this wetland of the principal river of Mlaga. There are also two easywalking routes around the enclave.
