ALEA

Gastronomic reference of Malaga, located in a historical space and of singular beauty in the emblematic area of ​​Calle Larios.

Between thousand-year-old walls that formed part of the walled enclosure of the Muslim Malaga, ALEA rises. Walls that back in the 8th century were witnesses of the splendor and the malacitana prosperity brought by the diverse peoples and cultures that settled here. It was a city rich in shops, merchants and artisan trades that years later would give name to much of its historic neighboring streets. Such is the case of Calle Horno, parallel to this, which owes its name to the existence in the past of a tahona. Used as a mill in the eighteenth century, it housed several ferris wheels to grind the flour used to make bread. Still today can be seen the erosion of the wheel of the car at the base of the marble pillar of the restaurant and a "bite" they did in it to make it turn. At the end of the 19th century, the place became a noodle factory, with the upper floor destined for drying and storage and the lower floor for sale.

In the renovation carried out in 2009 by the prestigious architect Jose Ramón Fauras, details of the 18th century structure (wooden beams, original walls, marble columns, large windows ...) were kept at the same time that they bet for implementing the space with touches of color and avant-garde notes, also using ecological materials and the highest technology.
