This was different from other bars we visited in Malaga in that the tapas was self service and you paid based on how many cocktail sticks you had on your plates after finishing.
We got through a good selection, including, crab, shrimp, beef & anchovie. All were delicious and the beer we washed them down with was cold and refreshing. Definitely worth a visit.

About the neighbourhood: Distrito Centro
Málaga's historic core, bounded by the Guadalmedina river to the west, the port to the south and the slopes of Mount Gibralfaro to the east. The district contains the Cathedral, the Roman Theatre, the Alcazaba fortress, the Picasso Museum and the Pompidou Centre, plus the main shopping street Calle Marqués de Larios. Inside Distrito Centro sit the well-known sub-areas of Centro Histórico, Soho, La Merced and Lagunillas. The area is almost entirely pedestrianised, served by Metro Atarazanas and the Málaga–Centro Alameda rail station.

2,189 total reviewsWe enjoyed our lunch of tapas here on New Year's Eve...the place was rammed soon after we arrived (mainly locals which is always a good sign); simple, authentic food washed down with decent beer / wine. Strangely, they don't serve coffee.....go figure.
Very good food and location. The staff was very responsive but in a rush. The only downside was that even though we stayed outside we were not allowed to smoke. The wine options are limited and we didn’t had the chance to taste it before. Overall a nice experience with good food and a bog range of food options.
One of the few authentic restaurants in the center of Málaga. Service can be a bit slow, but it’s worth the wait. Try the zamburiñas, brocheta de gambas, and tomate picado.
We had a great experience at La Campana in Málaga. The food is very simple, but the quality really stands out. Service quick and friendly. Everything felt fresh and well-prepared. It’s the kind of place where the straightforward approach lets the ingredients shine. Definitely worth a visit.
