La Puntilla
Calle Bolivia
29780 Nerja
La Puntilla is another very Spanish tapas bar which gets very crowded, and noisy, at lunchtimes, hardly surprising as the tapas are excellent.
The speciality is fish, and there are loads to choose from, although meat dishes are also readily available. It is also a restaurant, so full meals are available and there is a small street terrace in summer. No tapas on the terrace, though, only inside.
The tapas are included in the price of drinks.
Recommended: Clams, sardines, boquerones, prawns….well, just about everything really.

Las tapas mas ricas y el pescado mas fresco que comemos en Nerja son en La Puntilla. Ambiente agradable y familia; cosas de valorar.

La puntilla tapa bar. Heerlijk gegeten!!! Een echte aanrader. Je kunt aan de bar eten of buiten aan tafel. Tis niet echt sjiek maar de vis overtreft alle tapas bars van Nerja!!Veel spanjaarden komen hier een hapje en drankje doen. groet Helen- Elena
The Crimson Pirate says:
One of the best around. Friendly locals, cold beer and great seafood. Highly recommended. A bit out-of-the-way but that just adds to your sense of having found a true gem.
Chris says:
Great place to be to eat and drink on the street. The Guys and Girls are great in there but old El Gordo is a bit unfriendly.
Dave MacIntosh says:
Super friendly, if you can’t find someone to talk to YOU have a problem. Made very welcome Food. . Have a couple of drinks and Tapas in the bar then get a table outside or upstairs, have 3 or 4 rationes
small plates of food, enough for 3-4. and enjoy, A fraction of U.K. prices.
OAPIS Day says:
Wow Dave, you’ve really got it ALL sorted out.

This is an absolutely fab and friendly bar, been to nerja the last 6 years and for some strange reason they seem to remember who we are !!!!!
Don’t try the raya!! Unless you like eating bones!!! Very strange dish, however, everything else was yummy.

Happy eating everyone
Dave MacIntosh says:
Being Scottish we have to keep up our reputation for being mean going, Funny how often ‘you lot’leave us to pick up the tab. Best wishes. Dave.
Dave MacIntosh says:

A bit of a rainy Sunday. Prawns pil pil and the Sunday special of fried fish and? Potato / cous cous? delicious and a firm favourite with the locals!!
Barry says:
One of the best wine/tapas places in Nerja, if you don’t mind the Public Convenience surroundings – which I suppose is one of its Spanish charms ! If you are really into toilet-decor, also try El Pulguilla, which also has the added benefit of uncontrollable NOISE !!!
David says:
What has happened to my favourite bar in Nerja. Why is it now closed ?
Dave MacIntosh says:
Having had a drink ( several) with the ‘terrible’ trio Wakim, Halvi. and Josie, sorry about probable wrong spelling, on the night before they went to their holiday destinations, . They DID need a holiday!!!. There is to be an update to the frontage to tie in better with the excellent new eating place in the old flat across from the bar. also a general tidy up.
I am here for a few weeks and like a lost soul as my routine is, Chispa, Puntilo, Cangreco and then I can’t quite remember where? but, sure I enjoyed myself!!!.
Mike says:
Any idea how long it’s closed for? I’m coming over for Christmas/New Year and La Puntilla is probably my favorite in Nerja, so I would be gutted if it were closed.

Will be back in September. The resturant area is Fab, the guys and girls are the best. Love it, love it, love it.
