Sardinas a la Espetada is a traditional dish from the Andalusian region, which includes Marbella. It consists of fresh sardines skewered and grilled over an open fire. The sardines are marinated with olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and parsley before being cooked on the skewers. The grilling process gives the sardines a smoky flavor and a crispy texture. Sardinas a la Espetada is often served with a side of salad or roasted vegetables. It is a popular dish during the summer months when sardines are in season.
