Los Cuñaos
Calle Herrera Oria
29780 Nerja
Los Cuñaos, also known locally as the ‘Thru Bar’ for obvious reasons, is run by two brothers and has to be one of the best tapas bars in town. Although the walls are completely covered with football scarves and pennants from every club from Kaiserslautern to Kidderminster, it is not a sports bar.
There is a small, unobtrusive TV in one corner but that is not uncommon in Spanish bars. Most of the time you wouldn’t even notice it was on.
The array of tapas is excellent. Pinchitos, fried aubergines, calamares, Russian salad, albondigas and a dozen other dishes are always available and are included in the price of beer and wine, which is €1.50 (February 2012).
The squid-on-a-stick is really succulent…delicious!
Los Cuñaos also do full ‘raciones’ and offer a take away service. There are two small terraces, one on each street, so you can sit in the sun and watch the world go by.
Recommended: Fried Aubergine, Pinchito, Squid-on-a-stick
Good bar with good tapas. Owner really friendly, always ready for a chat!
Eine der besten Tapas Bar`s in Nerja!
Vor allen Patrick der Koch!!!!
We like the combination of a tapas bar and being able to sit down for dinner in the back
of Los Cuñaos .and we think that the “Argentine connection ” – i.e. Leon from Argentine and the collegue from Argentina have improved the service compared to earlier years
Bonjour .Il est vrai que ce bar est très sympa. L’accueil y est chaleureux et leurs tapas délicieuses. J’y ai passé de bons moments, avec Juan le patron Favi la serveuse, et le cuisinier qui est landais. Je voudrais bien avoir le n° de téléphone de ce bar ci quelqu’un l’avait cela me rendrait service. Merci

Just returned from Nerja. We discovered this tapas bar by accident during our walk through the Spanish sector. Fantastic place – tapas excellent – grilled fish, meat balls, skewers with chorizo sausage, peppers and tomatoes, squid, pepper salad, manchego cheese, olives etc. All really cheap!
The best coffee in town. We visited many times and returned one evening for paella(has to be ordered in advance)- delicious. A must to visit – Staff extremely friendly.
I hear it has now closed. Very sad indeed!
Very sad that this bar has closed. We’ll miss it!
I’m sad…
It was my favorite place…
“Gambas al pil-pil” was fantastic…
Rumours it’s re-opening…?
It is officially re-opened, although under new management. Can’t comment yet on if the football scarves are still up, perhaps someone from Nerjatoday.com can go and investigate this?
we had family visit in may and they said it was the same as before.
Un nouveau couple de gérants s’occupe de ce bar, mais d’après mes renseignements, il ny auarit pas d’autre changement. J’ai hâte de regoûter aux délicieux tapas de cette maison que je fréquente depuis de nombreuses années (gambas al pill-pill, aubergines, almejas, petits poissons frits, anchois frits…) Rien que du bon.
Love this place,see u in june.
