I participated in this hunt with my companion, just as our ancestors did since prehistoric times, for food of course... One of the basic needs of living beings is to feed themselves; we could conclude that there is nothing special in this activity then. A completely normal thing that these individuals organized, but... where did this happen and when?
The location is an urban forest, a network of streets connected to each other by Christmas lights, countless tables and chairs where you can consume your catch - if you're fast enough. Because you see, this can be a bit tiring to walk through the multitude of these streets and make your way through the crowds. Most of these people had the same goal as us - to have dinner after a pleasant afternoon spent in the historic centre of this city, Malaga.
Many of them were faster than us and already took a seat in the chosen restaurant. If you don't have a reservation... then you depend only on your skills to jump quickly to a different one and try out your luck there.
Two years ago when we made a super short visit to Malaga, we ate in a restaurant close to the Cathedral. This year, while walking there we decided to find it and have our dinner there. That would be a cool thing, right, to go back to the same place.
We found it! It was indeed in the street we remembered from our last visit, in Bolsa Street. Unfortunately, it was fully booked already. The waitress said we would need to queue for our table for some time as other people too who wanted to eat in the same place. We decided to find then another place, but later we saw that the situation was similar in all the restaurants close to the cathedral and the busiest streets of the centre.
Never a bad moment to stop and observe the impressive beauty of the Malaga Cathedral, in full name in Spanish: Santa Iglesia Catedral Basílica de la Encarnación.
Just in front of the Cathedral, the Cultural Centre with its colourful Spanish Baroque-style facade also caught my attention. And do you see a figure in the square in front of it? What is a statue of a tennis player doing here? Of course that was a moving statue, that is, a man pretending to be a statue.
One would need a lot of strength to open this massive door... It is time to get back to our initial action, hunting. 😆
Searching around we passed again through the street with the angels and made a U-turn when we were on the Constitution Square.
My husband found one restaurant on the map that looked interesting. It was right by a museum, Museo Revello de Toro. As it was in a small, not-so-busy street we easily found a table for us. No crowd here, although the other tables were already booked as we saw.
The hunt finished successfully! Soon my post will finish too, just to leave the restaurant and take another look back toward the museum and the monument to Pedro de Mena. A man was standing with a bike behind the monument... I think it was a sign that other people were also on the hunt for food from this restaurant we had just left. 😁

Oh my beloved Malaga… i miss it sometimes. I lived not that far from the streets you walked.
Next time you are there check out Pedregalejo. Just a little town right next to it. I can recommend Restaurante Pez Tomillo. My favourite place to go for food / tapas.
Have a wonderful Wednesday 😊 thanks for sharing your hunt for food 🥘
Really, in the historic centre? Wow, that is amazing. Thank yo for the recommendation, I don't know when we will go the next time but I will try to remember Pedregalejo. Thank you Jackie 😌
Yep, I loved living there. Got to know almost every corner of the old city.
You are welcome, happy to recommend nice places.
Hope you will visit once again. 😊
Food hunters, I understand that, even if I'm not that interested anymore. A food hunt that leads through such wonderful places deserves to be done. Spain is amazing and gorgeous.
Yes, the hunt for the food (I had fun actually writing in this way about the walk we had before the dinner haha) made this walk happen 😆
Understand. And most of my walks are generated by needs other than walking.
But sometimes also to have a good cup of coffee, right? 😉
Mostly!
I was between two walks today and I almost didn't do the same walk as you, but I think it was about a week and a half earlier hahaha I'm glad you found a place to eat, here with tourism it's like that, whoever sits down first wins hahahahaha
What beautiful decorations! The museum at the end is... beautiful! I have pictures I took months ago... they are still there in a folder!
That's how it is in beautiful places ;) Many tourists, as it was me too hahaha
Obviously, the museum was closed when we arrived there, we followed the navigation to the restaurant and just then I saw there was a museum too. Looking forward to seeing the exhibition from there 😉
When I went... a long time ago I thought the museum was small... but when I went in it had three floors... and too many works, all beautiful. I reviewed only the first floor, soon will come the second one... ahhh something of the third one I also did, they were pencil drawings...
Very beautiful photos!
But I don't like it when there are so many people.
The only exception is holidays 😊
then the holidays feel more vivid!
When there are few people on these days, then it becomes a little sad.
I don't like the crowd either but that evening with all those lights it was special, so festive and great feelings. The search for dinner was then more difficult hahaha
It would also be nice to follow a diet and have fasting days 😁
But you still insisted, i.e. achieved your goal despite the obstacles 😁
the architecture these is amazing and added to by all the cool lighting and decorations such a charming city
glad you were ale to complete the hunt and get some food
Thanks for joining the Wednesday Walk and have a great day
Yes, we enjoyed the stay in Malaga, cool architecture and festive feelings added to the experience ;)
I'm glad the hunt ended well, nature-urban at Christmas time can be very capricious and things can end badly. And I am also glad that you hunted those wonderful images of the Santa Iglesia Catedral Basílica de la Encarnación. Very impressive. Thank you for this night of hunting.
Good night, @mipiano.
I am glad I took you too to this hunting haha
I love cathedrals, ie searching for such buildings at places we visit. This one from Malaga is quite awesome!
I can only tell you that I love cathedrals, (with the exception of La Almudena 😅), so thanks again.
Oh, you don't like La Almudena?
On the inside maybe, but I'm not a big fan of neoclassical.
Well, the statues also asked me: Why woman, why you had to climb here? 😂
If it were a statue I would have asked the same question.... I already like La Almudena a little better. 😆
Thank you very much for bringing this image here.
What a beautiful walk. Lights and lots of people, enjoying. You finally found a nice place to eat.
The living statues are impressive they have such a mastery of balance that they look real. Thanks for the ride. A hug 🤗🥰
I don't know how the people pretending to be statues can remain in the same pose for such a long time. I think my muscles would gave up hahaha
Thank you for coming to this dinner searching walk @mamani 😇
