Málaga has a culinary secret that remains largely unknown outside the region: gazpachuelo malagueño. The name resembles gazpacho, but the two have little in common. Gazpachuelo is warmer, creamier and contains no tomato. It is a fish soup with potato, finished with garlic mayonnaise, and the recipe traces back directly to the fishing communities along the Costa del Sol.
