Antigua Casa de Guardia ★ 4.5
Antigua Casa de Guardia has poured Málaga sweet wine from the barrel since 1840, the city's oldest tavern chalking your tab straight on the counter.
Fresh anchovies filleted and cured in vinegar, garlic and parsley until white and silky, served cold in olive oil as one of Málaga's most classic tapas.
Boquerones, fresh anchovies, are so tied to Málaga that locals are nicknamed boquerones. The vinegar cure preserved the abundant, delicate fish before refrigeration and softened the flesh without cooking it. Málaga also eats them fried whole in a fan (boquerones fritos) and, historically, the larger boquerones victorianos from the bay. The vinegar version is a fixture of the vermouth hour, cold and dressed with raw garlic, parsley and good oil.
