It’s always accompanied by potatoes. There are also other variants that include peas, garlic, or celery. <\/span><\/p>\n

7. Roasted Suckling Goat<\/b><\/h3>\n

This dish is very typical in the Axarqu\u00eda area. It’s prepared with 100% native Malaga breed goat exclusively fed on milk. This meat is obtained when the animal is only one month old.

11. Malaga Olives<\/b><\/h3>\n

Another delicacy from these lands are the Malaga olives. They are fleshy and tasty, with a touch of vinegar. Try them as an appetizer with a \u201cpajarete\u201d wine – the typical sweet wine from Malaga – or a soft drink. <\/span><\/p>\n
