The former Bar Amigos on calle Chaparil, next to the Hotel Jimesol, is now undergoing renovations as is Kronox on the Balcón de Europa. Not long since Kronox was previously renovated, only a few months.
Cocktails at Bamboo
The Bamboo on Plaza Fabrica de los Cangrejos is a great setting for a nice cocktail for those who like the occasional indulgence. Good views, relaxed atmosphere, jovial staff. Cocktails tend to be in the range €5 to €5.50.
Tapas at El Puente
El Puente, near the bridge (Puente Nuevo) at the western entrance to Nerja, has always been a great tapas bar and remains so. Nice bar area, great terrace, delicious and varied tapas and a reasonable price, hard to find any fault at all. I had chick peas with morcilla and it was excellent. A beer and a tapa, €1.60.
Pizzamania closes
The pizza takeway and delivery service Pizzamania in calle Manuel Marín has called it a day and closed down, another casualty of the financial crisis.
Vitaliano closed for holidays
Vitaliano, the excellent coffee place behind the church on the Balcon de Europa, is closed until November 11th for holidays.
Diamante Azul
The former Heksenketel and Carpe Diem opposite the Monica Hotel on avenida Mediterraneo, neither of which lasted very long, has now become the Diamante Azul.
Two more closures
It looks like Los Amigos on calle Chaparil and Diva’s Bar on calle Jaén have both closed down.
Los Cuñaos closed
Very sad to see one of the most iconic tapas bars in Nerja, Los Cuñaos (the through bar) on calle Herrera Oría, closed after Juan decided to call it a day. Perhaps someone will take it on but one of the problems, I’m led to believe, is the high rental cost of the premises.
Piano music at Restaurant First
Every Tuesday from now on, pianist Alf Bowman will be performing at Restaurant First, located near the Marinas de Nerja Hotel. Don-t forget to check out their weekly 6 course menu for only €19.95.
La Chocita Sueca up for sale
The Swedish restaurant La Chocita Sueca on Plaza Fabrica de los Cangrejos is up for sale after a very short time in operation.
