TYPICAL PLACES

CASA DEL GUARDIA

Be careful when drinking the sweet wines, they go to the head just as easily as they godown the throat.

FESTIVITIES IN MALAGA

Holy week is the best-known festival in Málaga, and few cities in Spain receive more visitors than the capital of the “Costa del Sol” at Easter. It may be because of the artistic quality of the carved images, the impressive size of the thrones, the rich and baroque decoration of the floats, the bands playing the most moving music, the military parades …

You can eat cured ham and fried fish (called in Spain “pescaíto frito”). You can also have some typical dishes such as “perotas” (typical in Álora) and “porra antequerana” and to drink… a cup of “Cartojal” ( a typical sweet wine) but you must be careful. It is cold and if you drink it very quickly, you can get drunk easily. It is the most important festival in our city and lasts eight days.

They are very typical in Málaga and you normally eat them on the beach. They are made in a traditional way. The cook takes between 8 and 9 sardines and inserts them on to a stick and then cooks them on a little boat that they use as a barbecue.

They are delicious!

“Gazpacho” 

It is difficult to give you definite weights or quantities for this recipe. Sorry! Lots of red, ripe tomatoes, cucumber, peppers, old and hard bread with:• Garlic• Red vinegar• Olive oil• Salt• Water 

There might be as many recipes of gazpacho as families are in Spain!. This is the one I have learned at home.

Page 18: Málaga (2)

First, cut the vegetables into pieces by using your blender.You do not need to peel the cucumber or the tomatoes or remove the seeds from anything (at least I never do).Cut some bread and soak it in water.Add it to the blender. Add the olive oil, salt, vinegar and water.And then, beat everything

You can experiment with the recipe: some people like “gazpacho” very thick, so they add a lot of bread, while some others like it very liquid, and they add more water instead, or less bread, whatever.Some people get crazy adding garlic, while some others hate it.I prefer gazpacho at room temperature. However, as it is a typical summer dish, it is usually served cold.

Enjoy it !
