Moroccan restaurants are less common in Málaga than in Granada, but Al Yamal, family-run for four decades in the heart of the Soho district, serves the authentic stuff, including tagines, couscous and kefta (meatballs). The street profile looks unpromising, but the tiny dining room has six cosy booths decorated with vivid Moroccan fabrics and a trickling fountain.
Finish off your meal with a mint tea delicately spiced with azahar (orange blossom) and poured out of a silver pot from a great height.
