Candela, formerly Cavana 5, is ideally located on Plaza Cavana in the centre of town. There is a small terrace in the square, a couple of barrels outside the door, a long, fairly narrow bar area and a lovely Andalucian patio at the back.
El Mirador party
To celebrate the opening of the new/relocated El Mirador restaurant in calle Antonio Jumenez (on the edge of Plaza Maria Zambrano, not far from the bus station) there will be an ‘opening party’ on September 21st from 19:00. Complimentary paella and your first drink is ‘on the house’. Everyone welcome.
Eva Maria
Eva Maria is a new bar and eatery located next to The Ship, and virtually opposite the Hotel Riu Monica, in avenida Mediterraneo in Nerja.
Tapas at La Alacena de mi Fernando, Nerja
La Alacena de Mi Fernando is a small delicatessen shop also offering drinks and tapas and is located opposite Plaza Fabrica de los Cangrejos, Nerja. Very pleasant place to sit and enjoy a drink and a nibble.
Tapas at Bar Pancho
Bar Pancho recently opened in calle Antonio Millón, Nerja, (it was formerly Meson El Coto) so just had to give it a go. The bar area is fairly small but it has a street terrace, which is good.
Mandarina has closed down
The popular little cafe Mandarina on the Plaza Balcón de Europa, Nerja, has closed down after seven years in operation.
Gambas Pil Pil at La Estrella in Torre del Mar
I was strolling along the promenade in Torre del Mar and decided a spot of lunch was in order. I picked a place at random and decided to have Gambas Pil Pil. Good choice as it turned out.
Return to El Crustaceo Crujiente
Popped in to El Crustaceo Crujiente on calle Chaparil, Nerja, on my way home to see if they were still serving those humungous and delicious tapas. Ordered a glass of red wine and some ‘patatas bravas’. When they arrived I was rendered speechless…
Numero Seis closed
Numero Seis, on the corner of calle Chaparil and Prolongación Antonio Millón in Nerja, has closed down. Hopefully someone will take over the premises as it is a fairly good location and it has a nice garden area. The rent must be pretty hefty, though.
Gambas at La Marina
Quite a plate of gambas as a tapa at La Marina in Plaza Marina, Nerja, at least twenty. And a caña and a tapa is still only €1.40. Definitely one of the top tapas bars for fish in Nerja.
