Los Bukaneros on prolongacion Antonio Millón is probably more of a cafe than a bar, in the strictest sense, but they serve tapas so have to give it a try. The bar is fairly simply laid out and, as one might expect, it has a piratey theme.
La Mar Sala and Scarletta’s now temporarily closed
La Mar Sala on calle Pintada in Nerja is closed and is being totally renovated inside. Scarletta’s on calle Cristo is now closed for the winter and will reopen in February 2013.
Holiday closures
Maria Bonita in Plaza Fabrica de los Cangrejos is closed until November 30th, Bar Cavana in Plaza Cavana is closed until December 1st, Vitaliano, behind the iglesia El Salvador, is closed until December 3rd and Portofino in calle Puerta del Mar is closed for an unspecified period due to holidays and renovations.
The Boathouse
The Boathouse bar on the corner of calle Mérida and avenida Mediterraneo is a relatively new addition to the bar scene and is now complete with sign board. They were offering apple pie and coffee, frequently recommended, so had to give it a try. Steaming hot and delicious. Coffee and apple pie, €2.50.
Tapas at Bar Alameda
The Bar Alameda is back in calle Jaén after a brief incarnation as the Sidreria. One thing about the Alameda, apart from the odd lick of paint or bit of new furniture, no-one ever has that strange compulsion to gut the place before re-opening. Some places seem to get gutted even if it is only a couple of months since …
Farewell Sidreria
It comes as no surprise that the Sidreria in calle Jaén, Nerja, didn’t last very long. Very nice cider, but at five euros a bottle…The bar is returning to its earlier incarnation as the Alameda and the official re-opening is on November 4th with free tapas on offer.
Kronox closed for vacations
The cafe Kronox on the Balcón de Europa in Nerja is closed for vacations until December 1st.
Extra entertainment at Restaurant First in Nerja
New menus at Restaurant First including a special menu for Christmas. In addition, there is now entertainment three times a week at the restaurant, Tuesdays with pianist Alf Bowman and Thursdays and Saturdays with guitarist Rubén Portillo.
Tapas at Taberna Pepe Moles
Lunchtime tapas at Taberna Pepe Moles in prolongación Antonio Millón in Nerja and it was delightful. I would strongly recommend giving this place a visit. My first tapa – it was so good I had to have another – was a meat and rice dish with a delicate barbecue flavour to the rice.
Sushi Away
There is a new Japanese sushi bar and take away in Nerja in calle Gomez, next door to the Hotel Puerta del Mar just off the Balcón de Europa. The new place is called Sushi Away and it has quite a varied selection on the menu and the prices look reasonable.
