There's nothing like a local wine bar to get into There's nothing like a local wine bar to get into the proper frame of mind when visiting Spain! Antigua Casa de Guardia is a winery that was started back in 1840 and showcases many varieties of traditional wines from the Malaga region (mostly sweet). Come for a taste, stay for bites of fresh seafood and the jokesters behind the bar. We especially love the vermouth. It's also famous for writing up your tab in chalk on the bar!  #winebar #discovermalaga #malagaspain #vermouthbar #okennasodyssey #winetasting #spanishwines #oldschool #fortifiedwines #andalucía
