About

Along the Alameda Principal in Málaga, there is a bar called Antigua Casa de Guardia that has been open for 150 years. It is lined with huge old casks filled with a wonderful selection of Málaga wines. One of these is Moscatel, a sweet but complex wine made from the Moscatel grape. We marinate strawberries in this amber nectar, and serve them with ‘mantecados’, Moorish cinnamon sandcakes.
