The new ‘Saloon‘ on avenida Castilla Perez, Nerja, opposite El Bosque, is now open. Very large, has a TV screen and a few tables on the street. Nice wooden facade.
El Mirador closes
El Mirador in calle Antonio Jimenez (behind the ‘bus station’) has closed, Freddy and Marianne moving to new premises in calle Europa, Fuente del Baden. The new restaurant has a swimming pool.
Lunchtime gambas at La Marina
Stopped off in La Marina in Plaza La Marina, Nerja, for a quick tapas, excellent as usual. I had a large plate of gambas and a beer, good value at €1.40. Always a popular haunt at lunchtimes and one of the best fish restaurants in town.
Tapas at La Taberna, Ronda
Many, if not most, of the bars and restaurants in the centre of Ronda offer a plate of mixed tapas – usually four cold and four hot – for a fairly standard price of €10 or, in some cases now, for €9. So, ‘when in Ronda…’ as they say.
Tapas at El Rey de la Tapa
El Rey de la Tapa is a recent addition to the scene at Burriana beach in Nerja and is located almost opposite Ayo’s at the far end. The bar is spacious and there is a terrace. The bar counter is stone, which is a nice touch but can make your drink wobble on occasion.
La Canoa Bar and Grill
The former Diamante Azul on avenida Mediterraneo has been renovated and is now La Canoa Bar and Grill. It is a medium-sized establishment with a reasonable and sunny street terrace.
Coffee and pie at The Ship
A glorious May Day, and a delicious apple pie and cream at The Ship in avenida Mediterraneo, Nerja. Always worth popping in for. Coffee and pie, €3.
Don Chisciotte
On the edge of Plaza Tutti Frutti, next to the Sekai Japanese restaurant, we now have another Italian restaurant and bar, Don Chisciotte.
Torrecilla restaurant
The work is coming along nicely on the complete renovation of the Torrecilla beachfront restaurant.
Numero Seis closed again
The Italian Restaurant Numero Seis on calle Chaparil didn’t last very long at all, closing down within a couple of months of opening. Probably took longer to renovate the premises.
