Citorah says
Pedregalejo is one of Málaga’s oldest fishing quarters. Its beach has the city’s oldest promenade, which the council says is known for its many fish and seafood restaurants. It was once a pebble beach; breakwaters have since regenerated it completely. It has one of the city’s three toilets for people with ostomies, and EMT bus 34 runs here from Avenida de Andalucía. For a swim and a long lunch, it’s the best of the city beaches
From The Best Beaches in and near Málaga: City Beaches, the Costa del Sol by Train, and Nerja, under “4. Pedregalejo: fish restaurants on the oldest promenade”.
