The new gastromarket for the 'Sabor a Málaga' local food promotional brand opened its doors to the public on Thursday after more than two years of delays. The concession for the gastronomic and cultural space, located in Plaza de la Independencia, has been awarded to ... the Malaga-based La Reserva, an enterprise with an extensive track record and owned by local hotelier José Gómez.

It is the first permanent Sabor a Málaga venue in the province and consists of 14 stalls offering products carrying the brand's coveted seal of approval; a quality mark highlighting and promoting locally grown agricultural and food produce.

Customers will have at their disposal stalls offering seafood and fish, grilled meats, Iberian pork products, cheeses, wine, olive oil, coffee, honey and artisan sweets and desserts. Visitors will have the opportunity to try local dishes and recipes on site. The area, which will open from 5pm to midnight during the summer months, has a capacity for 400 diners.

José Gómez said that he believes the market will appeal to both locals and tourists who are beginning to arrive in the town, adding, "It is a commitment to the municipality, which has experienced great growth in recent years."

The building where the market is located, the former town hall, has been refurbished with an investment of 300,000 euros from the provincial authority and 111,667 euros from Torremolinos council.

The town's mayor, José Ortiz, acknowledged that Torremolinos has "worked hard to make the project a reality", saying, "it is one more attraction for those who visit the municipality and for the local residents themselves."
