The sardines are simply seasoned with coarse salt and a bit of oil for flavor. They can also be cooked with oil, parsley, garlic, and salt, or even interspersed in a clay pot with slices of tomato and onion, known as \u201csardinas a la teja\u201d (sardines on the tile).<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Origin<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The origins of this dish date back to the 19th century when M\u00e1laga thrived on fishing. In El Palo, now a neighborhood of M\u00e1laga city, it was a fishing village experiencing economic growth, where the locals consumed the fish they caught, and sardines were very affordable at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Miguel Mart\u00ednez Soler, known as &#8220;Migu\u00e9 de las Sardinas,&#8221; is considered the founder of skewering sardines. He opened his bar &#8220;La Gran Parada,&#8221; which is also credited with the creation of the chiringuitos. It is said that King Alfonso XII visited this bar, which boosted its popularity, and Miguel served him his famous espetos. The king\u2019s recommendation was to eat the sardines &#8220;with your fingers&#8221; instead of using utensils.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Peculiarities<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The secret lies in knowing when to eat the best espetos. It\u2019s commonly said that you should enjoy them in the months without the letter &#8220;r&#8221; (May, June, July, and August). While they are available year-round, the taste can vary outside of these months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Sardine Skewers is a typical dish of the Costa del Sol.
