Galymar, a well-known bar in Estación de Cártama, has relaunched its €10 seafood platter after last summer’s success. The menu also features fish dishes from €6, grilled platters for €15, and homemade desserts starting at €4. The offer is available for dine-in only.

Galymar, on Avenida de Andalucía in Estación de Cártama, has brought back its €10 seafood platter, a promotion that became a local favorite last summer. About 30 minutes from central Málaga, the bar is again drawing attention for seafood and fish at prices rarely seen so close to the city.

Galymar’s menu caters to diners seeking classic Andalusian seafood without the high costs often found in tourist hotspots. Alongside the seafood platter, diners can choose fish dishes starting at €6, including rosada, fried cod, cuttlefish, marinated dogfish, calamari, anchovies and fried octopus. Seafood prices can vary by species, portion size, origin and whether products are fresh or frozen, so the €10 offer is best understood in the context of its serving and menu.

Affordable Seafood Returns

The €10 seafood platter is available for dine-in customers. Staff recommend checking availability before visiting, especially on busy days. After the promotion drew crowds last summer, the owners brought it back to welcome regulars and attract new visitors looking for a meal at an accessible price.

Galymar’s location makes it an appealing choice for a meal outside Málaga. The journey from the city center takes about half an hour, making the bar accessible to diners seeking seafood without travelling to the coast.

Menu Highlights and Sharing Options

Beyond the seafood platter, Galymar offers a grilled-fish platter for €15, giving groups or families another option to share. The kitchen also prepares Galician-style octopus, grilled octopus, prawns in pil-pil sauce, fried vegetables and langoustines. Seafood platters listed at venues elsewhere in Spain show how widely prices can differ: a Valencia restaurant listing gives a €70 platter, while event coverage has cited mariscadas at €89 and €129. Their ingredients, portions and service differ, so they are not direct comparisons with Galymar’s offer.

For diners who prefer meat, the menu includes croquettes, chicken and pork skewers, stews and other traditional dishes. Homemade desserts such as “tarta de la abuela” and cheesecake start at €4, rounding out a varied menu with familiar options for mixed groups.

Practical Details for Visitors

Galymar is open from Thursday to Tuesday, 11:00 to 00:00, and closes on Wednesdays. Its hours allow for both midday and evening visits. Those planning to try the €10 seafood platter are encouraged to call ahead to check availability, as the offer may be limited on busy days.

With its seafood offer, traditional Andalusian dishes and location near Málaga, Galymar gives diners an alternative to eating in the city’s coastal tourist areas. Talent24h reports that the platter’s return builds on the attention it drew last summer.
