Friday night fun in Malaga
Last Friday was fun with plans made to see the symphony at Teatro Cervantes in the centre of Malaga City.
Uvedoble Restaurant
However, before going to the orchestral performance we went for an early dinner in Uvedoble which is a small restaurant, located near the Roman ruins, that serves inventive modern Spanish tapas. It was my first time visiting this restaurant and I’ve been thinking of the food since I visited and will make sure to go back again! Of course the company always helps too and we were with a group of 5 and as well as sharing and tasting all of the plates we had good conversation over the tasty food and drinks.
Pictured is what was a particularly nice dish “Black Noodles and Squid”. It was presented beautifully and had a stunning look to it, along with a really unusual taste. I highly recommend ordering this dish if you visit Uvedoble on a visit to Malaga.
Philharmonic Orchestra of Malaga in Teatro Cervantes
And then after dinner it was on to Teatro Cervantes which is located on Calle Ramos Marín near to Plaza Uncibay. Teatro Cervantes is a beautiful old theater that was built in 1870 then restored in recent times after falling in to disrepair in the 1950’s and being used as a movie theatre. As well as being a very ornate building, the showstopper feature in the building is in the main auditorium which features “Allegory of the History, Industry and Trade of Málaga” which is a massive oil painting by artist Bernard Ferrándiz.
The symphony was performed by the Malaga Philharmonic Orchestra and was conducted by Mallorcan José María Moreno. The excellent soloist was Cello Player Senja Rummukainen of Finland.
All in all a brilliant night of food, conversation and music that definitely fed the body and soul!
