Malaga, a key point of reference for the Mediterranean diet

THE CAPITAL OF THE COSTA DEL SOL INCLUDES BOTH TRADITION AND CUTTING EDGE ELEMENTS IN BENEFIT OF THE MEDITERRANEAN DIET THROUGH ITS LARGE VARIETY OF RESTAURANTS, RANGING FROM TAPAS AND TRADITIONAL DISHES TO GOURMET CUISINE BY CHEFS WITH MICHELIN STARS.
