Legendary places of the old quarter where you will find the lively and relaxed atmosphere that defines this city. ## Antigua Casa de Guardia A mandatory visit if you travel to the city. This well known tabern was founded by the famous Málaga decanter and winegrower José de Guardia in 1840. This is the oldest winery of the city, an authentic monument to **Málaga wines** and their history. In this place you could taste sweet wines as Pajarete, Pedro Ximénez, Moscatel or Guinda, complemented with mussels, shrimps or prawns. If you finally decide to “tapear” here, you will be surprised by how they did not overcome by the time running, keeping traditions as writting the clients orders by clay on the bar. Shocking actually! ## Restaurante Chinitas Eating at [**Restaurante Chinitas**](http://www.visitcostadelsol.com/food-and-drink/restaurant/restaurante-el-chinitas-p39871?_ga=2.210016021.1052361035.1516023698-131020156.1510675820) is a great experience.
