La Capilla del Mar, one of the oldest bars in town, is centrally located in calle la Cruz, just off calle Pintada, one of the main shopping streets in Nerja, and since August 2011 is owned by the Berger family.
It is said that the restaurant got it’s name a long time ago when fishermen wanted to have a drink and told their wives that they were going to the chapel. Instead they sneaked away to the small bar and restaurant, La Capilla.
La Capilla del Mar comprises a bar area, where you can enjoy a nice beer and a tapa, two interior dining areas, a covered outdoor area and an open garden/patio with its own bar.

We came here regularly over Easter when the new owners had taken over. The food and welcome are still as good as ever – can’t wait to go back in September.
Carol and Gordon says:
We went to Capilla 4 or 5 times in September and had a lovely warm welcome from the new Swedish owners. We had the steak toastados with chips washed down with an excellent Rioja. It was mouth wateringly delicious and excellent value for money. We will be back next year without a doubt.
Carol says:
Best food in Nerja and the music night on Fridays is fabulous – can’t wait to come again in Sept.
