Nerja Tapas Guide

Tapas are an integral part of Spanish life and a very social way of eating and drinking, so here is a rough guide to some of the bars.

The best idea is to have one drink and a ‘tapa’ at each stop, making sure you each order a different tapa so you get chance to taste as many as possible. Tapas are generally included in the price of the drink, but not always, so do check. Also, whilst most bars automatically offer you a tapa with your drink, again some don’t and you should not be afraid to ask for your tapa.

Taking in a few traditional tapas bars, either at lunchtime or in the evening, is not only a good way of experiencing the real Spanish way of life and mixing with the locals, it is also a great (and generally cheaper) alternative to a set meal.

I know from experience that some people find the idea of entering a noisy, crowded Spanish bar a little daunting. The same applies to some of the more ‘rough and ready’ bars you may come across as you wander through the back streets.

Don’t be put off by crowds, noise or appearance or you’ll miss out on a great experience and some of the best bars in town.

Although prices do vary, especially in the more ‘touristy’ areas, you would normally expect to pay between €1 and €1.50 for your beer/wine including tapa.
