Velez-Malaga presents a typical Mediterranean diet, influenced of course by the products from the sea, amongst which Malaga’s fresh anchovies and other countryside dishes stand out, some of them typical of the region like the “ropa vieja” (translated as ‘old clothes’), which is a variant of the typical ‘berzas’ of Malaga (made with green beans, chickpeas, pumpkin, aubergine, meat and meat fat).
More typical dishes of the area an in Velez-Malaga are the 'ajoblanco', the 'ajoporro' and the ‘ajobacalao’, these two last ones are typical during the Semana Santa (Holy Week).
The fruit that is cultivated in the region is originally subtropical, which has contributed a rich variety to the diet with cultivations of avocados, custard apples, mangos, papayas and a long etcetera, being Velez-Malaga the main producer of avocados in Spain.
