8 November 2025 Fuengirola: Further Afield in Malaga and Back

 


East of Malaga is Pederagalejo, a tiny former fishing village.  It has a beach side entertainment area, a sushi restaurant and a chic reputation so we wanted to give it a look.    We drove along the coast to get to the village and then we kept driving till we ran out of civilization.  We turned it around and headed back for our lunch reservation.  We had some fine sushi and a bone marrow scallop dish the was superb.  We poked around along the beach and realized that this neighborhood did not meet all of the criteria so we got back in the car.  It took 45 minutes to drive back to Fuengirola and get back into the room.  We looked up restaurants and found that the Schnitzel Hut was highly recommended and really who does not crave a schnitzel?


Yes, we have a reservation


A busy kitchen


Upstairs soundproofing


Elegant


A honker of a bone


Old fishing boats outside


Classic old houses but not new enough for us


A shack selling fresh cooked fish

Sardines on a stick and a big fish to boot


Malaga way off in the distance


A funky roof top bar


Back in Fuengirola before dark


Mr. Leonardo!


Our hotel


This area must be the dining area.  There are restaurants all right next to each other like a strip mall


But also next to the marina


In time for the dog parade

Working on the boats


Sailing is labor intensive


Time for our own photoshoot


Working it!


The chicken agrees


Our waiter brought out zero tonic for us and we did not even ask


Back to looking at the water


And the tattooed patrons


My schnitzel 


Leslie's schnitzel 


Here comes the sunset


Looking pretty


The gin is hitting!


Back in focus!


A bit of dessert


Through the ramparts we go


The dinner time entertainment has ceased




It has been 3 years and 156 days since we began our Migration
