Resident food writer Andy Lynes reveals how this seaside city now has a distinctive dining identity that’s well worth taking the train from London to experience. 

Barely a 20-minute drive from Malaga airport is La Zambra. The resort where The Rolling Stones once holidayed has been given a proper 21st Century makeover (with excellent Andalusian-inspired food). We flew over for a look. 

One of Andalucia's best-known cities for its history and architecture, Granada is also the city of the tapa where every drink gets you a free dish. We spent a happy 48 hours wandering the streets and finding the best places to eat and drink.

A seaside town of two parts, St Leonards and Hastings are parvenus when it comes to seaside cachet,  but as a result they’ve got more of a quirky vibe than their neighbours Eastbourne and Brighton.

The Cinque Port town of Rye used to be on the sea, but now it’s two miles inland. That doesn’t stop it being a charming spot to spend a day out of London.

This outlying Essex island has been a popular holiday destination since Roman times. Now it’s a perfect spot if you want a quick seaside jaunt out of London, but want to avoid the crowded beaches of nearby Southend.

Anglo's Mark Jarvis is now in charge of all the food at The Mitre, a hotel that's just across the road from Hampton Court Palace itself. We stayed for a night at the hotel to see what he's cooking up there.
