Tapas Route 1

Tapas Trail Route 1.

Ruta De La Tapa Nerja

Meet in the main Balcon Square, at the front of the church.

Looking at the church with the sea to your left, walk to the left of the church, the entire length of the church. At the other end of the church you reach Plaza de Cavana.  Approx. 100 Metres after the rear of the church there is a bar on the left called Candela. It is a small entrance within a grey doorway. The name is above the door. Entry is down a narrow corridor, with the bar at the end. I can recommend any of the rice dishes, or the Tuna with Tomato. A good level of English is spoken here. At the very end of the bar is an enclosed courtyard, a nice place to sit.

Leaving the Candela, turn left. The road bears around to the left. You are now in Calle El Barrio. Follow this road. Point of reference after 200 metres is a Mexican restaurant to the right (People tell me this restaurant is not recommended!). Keep walking and after another 200 metres you come to a road. Traffic coming from your right going down hill. Turn left here. This is Calle Castilla Perez. About 100 metres down the hill is a bar called Tapearte. This is a huge 2 floored bar. The tapas change weekly and there is a menu in English and Spanish. I love the small burgers or chicken kebabs.

When leaving Bar Tapearte, cross the road and take the small road directly opposite, to the right of the Bosque bar. Calle Fray Junipero Serra. You will pass ‘Maxwells’ bar to your right. This road bears to the right. After you bear to the right continue for approx. 200 metres and you will see Bar La Bodeguilla in front of you. This has barrels outside. In the summer the shutters are open. Excellent red wine and flaming sausages. A complimentary bowl of olives are usually presented as well.

As you leave La Bodeguilla, turn right and you are now in Calle El Chaparil. Immediately opposite is Bar La Rienda. This is a favourite of mine. Great tapas, just make sure you dont sit at a table outside, barrels are allowed.

Leaving Bar La Rienda, turn right and head down the hill. After approx. 50 metres on the left is my favourite on this tour, Sevillanos. There are 3 in town so ensure you get the right one! Big glasses of wine, huge selection of tapas, fantastic staff.

If you can still stand up, look across the road to Calle Almirante Carranza. On the right about 50 Metres from the junction is La Taberna De Pepe Moles. Excellent tapas, one of the more expensive bars, but still under 2.50 Euros.

  1. Again a wonderful selection of my favouriteTapas Bars, but Taberna Torero is a new one to me, although I have passed it many times I have never ventured in, but I will give it a try now.
    Can I also recommend just before Torero is Vinoletto which is a lovely little Tapas Bar especially in the Winter. A great Tapas Route- thank you. Tapas Lil
