El Pulguilla
Calle Cristo
29780 Nerja
El Pulguilla is a very popular and invariably busy tapas bar located in calle Cristo in the centre of town.
Despite being generally very busy, the service is very good and the tapas are excellent. There is a wide range of meat and fish tapas available and you would be hard pressed to find anywhere better.
Recently (August 2011), I opted for a ‘bacalao’ (cod) tapa and the sauce…well, it was divine.
There is a large terrace at the back, great if you have kids (also great if you don’t!) and full meals are also served.
Tapas are only free with drinks when at the bar, not outside on the terrace. A beer and a tapa will set you back €1.60 (August 2011).
This is by far my favourite tapas bar in Nerja. If you stand in the bar the atmosphere is fantastic, if a bit manic! The lemon dogfish is my favourite dish, other well recommended dishes include, prawns in batter, mussels and whitebait. I have been here time and time again and have no complaints! Yummy!
El Pulguilla is a great place for tapas.
As soon as you settle in, the staff are right there to take your order, with each drink you’ll be offered a tapas.
No sooner than you look around at the mix of locals and expats’ your drinks and tapas will arrive.
Delicious and such a wide variety of tapas to choose from. As at 01/11/09 a beer or wine is only €1.60 and the tapas is complimentary.
Language is not a problem as all the staff try to help and laugh a lot.
Great value for money and we’ll be back.
Delicious fish and seafood, among the very best in Nerja.
Pretty much sums up Nerja… quick service, DELICIOUS tapas!

Absolutely the best place in Nerja for tapas. I moved here 6 years ago and the guys are the same as then – on the ball, friendly, efficient. The food is fab. I’ve spent many happy evenings here.
In Nerja for a week, had two fantastic meals here in the large decked restaurant area. Service was amazing and friendly, on both occasions the food was by far the best we had all week. There was an lovely atmosphere, a real buzz about the place. The cool garden at the back was a bit of a haven in 36 degrees. Strongly recommend you pay El Pulguilla.
*a visit
We ate here in August with 6 adults and 6 children. The food was fantastic with very fast service. Well worth a visit.
Think we popped in almost every night of our holiday. The atmosphere is great and pretty manic when it gets busy at the weekends! This just adds to the fun of course. Great seafood tapas served up by hard working but really helpful staff.
fan blooming tastic, love the atmosphere, love the food, love everything about the place.
