Pedregalejo is not just a beach; is one of the oldest neighbourhoods in the capital of Malaga.. Formerly a humble fishing neighbourhood, it still retains the traditional air of its narrow streets, low houses and the sound of boats bobbing in the sea.
Strolling along the promenade of Pedregalejo is like stepping back in time: small wooden boats (traditional seines), family terraces, neighbours chatting in peace and quiet and the irresistible aroma of the spit cooked on the fire in the middle of the sand.
One of Pedregalejo's greatest virtues is that, despite its charm, has not lost its local essence. Here you can find young students, families and curious tourists who want to get away from the typical. The atmosphere is friendly, informal and welcoming. Perfect for an afternoon of relaxation or an evening of dining in front of the sea with sunset views.
In summer, life becomes especially lively when the sun goes down. The terraces are filled with conversations, soft music and good atmosphere. But even in high season, Pedregalejo maintains that tranquil air that makes it unique.
If there's one thing you can't miss in Pedregalejo, it's its seafood cuisine. This area is famous for offering some of the best espetos de sardinas (sardine skewers) in Malaga.. Prepared in the traditional way in boats converted into grills, the espeto is not just a dish, but a ritual that sums up the Malaga art of living.
Accompany it with a cold beer or a fruity white wine and sit on a terrace a few metres from the sea. Restaurants such as Miguelito el Cariñoso, El Caleño or La Galerna are a must for lovers of fresh fish.
There is no rush here. Here life is savoured like a spit by the sea.
The Pedregalejo Beach is perfect for all types of travellers: couples daydreaming, families with children looking for peace and quiet, solo travellers writing thoughts in front of the sea... Even if you work remotely, this can be your office with a view.
Getting there is easy: you can take a city bus from the centre of Malaga. (lines 3, 11 or 34), walk or arrive by car. There are parking areas, although in high season it may be advisable to arrive by public transport.
You can also enjoy a nice bike ride from Muelle Uno or Malagueta Beach. The cycle lane runs along the entire coast until you reach this charming spot.
