La Recova

About

La Recova is a charming corner of Málaga’s historic city centre that blends traditional Andalusian gastronomy with a curated selection of local crafts. Set in the white‑washed streets of Pasaje Nuestra Señora de los Dolores de San Juan, the café‑restaurant offers a relaxed ambience where guests can enjoy a classic Malagueño breakfast that starts with a slice of rustic pan cateto and ends with local jamón and a freshly brewed café. In addition to breakfast, the menu features homemade tapas—such as a hearty tapa of 1/5 Cerveza Victoria—and light take‑away options for office workers and city‑walkers. The prices are modest: the breakfast begins at €2.50, a full takeaway menu for the historic centre is €9.00, and a single tapa starts at €1.50. La Recova’s commitment to quality is reflected in its carefully sourced ingredients and the gentle touch of handmade artisanal items showcased beside the tables, giving diners a unique blend of culinary and cultural experience. A favourite among locals and visitors alike, it’s the perfect spot for a leisurely coffee break, a quick lunch, or a taste of authentic Málaga hospitality.
