El Colmao Copas Málaga — Restaurant in Málaga

The extensive colonial imagery was very disturbing. Given that there's no indication from the outside as to exactly what you're getting yourself in for, it was an awful shock. It was terrifying.

The more I looked, the worse things became.

The road in front was being repaved and there was no information available (even when we called the number listed) to find out if it was closed during the roadwork. We were hoping to have the black paella, having read about it on many reviews, but were disappointed that the restaurant didn't bother to put a note on the door about its closure. We waited for 15 minutes until...
