Antigua Casa de Guardia

A Malaga landmark since 1840, this old-school bar pours fortified wines straight from the barrel. Tapas are minimal—cold cuts, cheese, maybe a bit of seafood to go with your glass. It’s mostly standing room, with a casual, no-frills vibe. Locals and visitors both drop in, especially mid-afternoon or early evening.
