La Tranca — Wine bar in Málaga

La Tranca is a typical Malagueña tapas bar. The way they used to be — and the way not all bars still are. Traditional tapas at traditional prices, plenty of Spanish drinks, a funky retro-kitsch interior and a large, varied crowd throughout the day. A Málaga institution.

Not exactly a wine bar, but the homemade vermouth alone is reason enough to pay a visit. Victoria beer on tap, vermouth, local wines and sangria are the most popular choices. Classic tapas: prawn skewers, empanadas, patatas bravas, tortilla and pimiento de padrón. The bill is written in chalk on the bar — just like at Antigua Casa de Guardia, but in a much noisier setting. Prices are surprisingly low.
