An established tradition of good cooking influenced by many civilisations gives rise to a variety of dishes of high quality along this coast.
A culture of seafood with beautifully presented dishes, marinaded blue fish, dried octopus, barbecued sardines, shellfish straight from the port and rockfish baked in salt. Andalucian chilled "Gazpachos" and tropical salads fresh from the garden.
Succulent rock salmon, casseroled with potatoes, shellfish soups and house specialities such as Serrano ham from Trevelez or "migas" reflect the history and cultural traditions.
To have a "tapa" in one of the little bars in Salobreņa's side streets or squares is to taste fish straight from the depths of the sea; well-fried, steamed or grilled portions accompanied by heady local wines.
In addition, you can savour the exotic tropical fruits such as custard apples, paw-paws, avocados, local bananas, guavas, and mangos or try the original Arabic confectionery.
