Costa del Sol is part of Andalucía. Hence, find expect rich influence of Andalucía on what you get to eat in Costa del Sol. This starts with tapas and menu del dia. Though the glitzy restaurants may not be serving traditional dishes, you will find them in small restaurants normally located in the old part of the town. Malaga old town has many restaurants serving excellent tapas and paellas.

In general, food and drink is expensive at Costa del Sol compared to other Spanish regions. However, you can adopt some insider learnings to save few bucks. Firstly, avoid glitzy restaurants in favour of small traditional restaurants. Invariably, there will be a handful of restaurants that cater to local residents. These restaurants serve authentic cuisine at honest prices. More importantly, while heading to beach, pick up freshly-made sandwiches and filled croissants. That way, you can laze around in your sun bed and manage to save extra Euros!
