A slightly mildewed Viennese-style cafe next to palm-filled gardens behind the cathedral, El Jardín attracts young flamencologists and ancient malagueños, plus the odd inebriated Picasso lookalike. Art-nouveau flourishes and old photographs evoke a pleasant ambience, but the food's not great. Come for wine or coffee and watch young-at-heart septuagenarians dance the tango on Thursday nights.
There are folkloric flamenco performances Friday and Saturday nights at 8pm.
