Rainy day tapas at Sevillano

The other day, the arrival of a few spots of rain forced me to dive in to Sevillao in calle Chaparil, Nerja, for a tapa…or two. Vibrant and buzzing as usual, Sevillano is always a delight and the range of tapas on offer is probably second to none. And the portions remain huge. A beer and a tapa, €1.85.

Works in progress

Work continues on the former Holiday Pizzeria in calle Cristo and it looks like the new restaurant will have a nice upstairs area/terrace. Still a way to go yet, though, before it reopens.

Pequeña Cibeles and Bakus

The Asador Dos Hermanos in calle Cristo is now the Pequeña Cibeles, while down on calle Carabeo, the former Carabeo Cafe has become Bakus.

Drinks at CK’s

CK’s in calle Chaparil, opposite prolongación Antonio Millón, in Nerja opened on January 12th 2013, taking over the premises formerly occupied by La Candela. Owners Kurt and Cindy, who moved down from Almerimar, have made a few improvements, although nothing too drastic, resisting the almost normal urge these days to totally gut the place.

Buddy’s Bar for sale

The local ‘betting’ on which establishment would be next to go seems to have been spot on with Buddy’s Bar in calle Málaga now up for sale. The bar has recently drastically reduced its opening hours and a ‘traspaso’ sign now adorns the window.

Former Capricho Andaluz undergoing refurbishment

The premises on the edge of Plaza Tutti Frutti last occupied by the bar Capricho Andaluz is undergoing the almost inevitable renovation and refurbishment before, presumably, opening in its new incarnation.

La Liebra closed

La Liebra in Plaza la Marina, Nerja, is closed and up for sale after a relatively short existence.

Jamaica is open again

The popular cafeteria Jamaica on avenida Mediterraneo, Nerja, is open again after its winter break.

Holidays and renovations

The Round Bar in calle Gloria is closed for holidays until March, El Puguilla in calle Cristo is closed until February 21st, Pepe Rico is still closed, the Coach and Horses remains closed until April 1st and Pizzeria Holiday has been gutted and is being renovated.
