Friday Night Fever at Restaurant First was a great success and Simona and Tina would like to thank everyone who participated. The next Friday Night Fever is on May 17th -music and fine dining, what more could you ask?
Buddy’s Bar reopens
Buddy’s Bar at the top end of calle Málaga is open once more after extensive renovations.
Tapas at El Pulguilla
It is very difficult just to have one tapa at El Pulguilla in calle Cristo, Nerja, as they are always so rasty. My first was ‘bacalao’ (cod) and it was succulent, beautifully cooked and flavoured and covered with a garlicky sauce. The flavour of the sauce lingered, and I could still taste it over an hour later. Delightful.
Breakfast Catalana
After an early morning wander, breakfast at Cafeteria Nerja on calle San Miguel, Nerja, just before the junction with avenida Castilla Perez. I had a huge Catalana – toasted bread (half a barra in this case!!), olive oil, tomato and a humungus helping of serrano ham – and a coffee, total €3.00. Coffee is still just €1 by the way. …
Tapas at Mar y Sala
Lovely weather in the evenings now for sitting outside on the terraces so a quick stopover at Mar y Sala in calle Pintada, Nerja, for a beer and a tapa. The tapas was decided for me and it was a very refreshing salad comprising tomato, potato, tuna, orange, onions, egg and a few things beside. Beer and a tapa, €1.60.
Taperia La Plaza
A new bar will be opening before too long in Plaza La Marina in Nerja, occupying the premises formerly the site of La Liebra, Napulé, La Bodega and others. It will be called the Taperia La Plaza.
Wine and tapas at Los Bilbainos
After a long morning ramble, what could be more inviting than a glass (or two) of Moscatel wine and a tapa at Los Bilbainos in calle Alejandro Bueno, a bar with real character. I had ‘tortilla’ – Spanish omelette – and it was smooth and tasty with just a hint of garlic I would say. Wine and tapa, €1.50.
+39 Bistro open again
The relocated +39 Bistro, Italian restaurant, in calle Málaga is now open and looking good.
Renovations at Buddy’s Bar and Diamante Azul.
Buddy’s Bar in calle Málaga, Nerja, is undergoing internal renovation, so one assumes it will be reopening before too long. And there seems to be work going on inside the former Diamante Azul on avenida Mediterraneo.
Bar Turry now in calle Cristo, Nerja
The tapas Taberna del Pescador in calle Cristo has become Bar Turry (formerly by the bus station). It has a good selection of tapas and the decor includes some very nice framed celebration posters from Sevilla dating back to the early 1900’s. A beer and a tapa will set you back €1.50.
