Nerja Nightlife
Nerja nightlife is generally quite laid back and geared to families and
mature couples rather than the 18-30 brigade. There's a good selection of
Nerja restaurants, many with fine terraces
overlooking the sea, as well as stylish terrace bars. There are a good number of
traditional tapas bars though you'll need to wander off the main tourist routes
to find some of them. Los Cuñaos (Herrera Oria 19) is one such place where
you'll really be rubbing
shoulders with the locals in an authentic tapas bar.
A good place to start the evening is at the
Balcon de Europa which is surrounded by café bars with terraces. From here
you can head east towards c/Gloria where the Round Bar is a good spot for drinks
and tapas on a tiny street surrounded by restaurants. Alternatively, head west
to Cochranes terrace for a pre-dinner cocktail on their huge terrace. Plaza
Tutti Frutti and Antonio Millón are the areas to head for if you're looking for
late night bars and disco pubs. For sports fans you'll have no problem finding
bars with large screens showing Skysports.
If you're staying near Burriana Beach there's a good selection of bars and
restaurants running along Paseo de Burriana as well as numerous restaurants
actually on the beach. If you're in staying in
Capistrano Village there is a bar and restaurant but you'll more than likely
head into the town centre or to the Burriana Beach area for the
nightlife.
Every Wednesday and Friday you can catch a flamenco show at El Colono (c/Granada
6). The show begins at 9pm whilst the club opens for dinner at 7.30pm. It's a
good idea to reserve during the summer months. There's also a great flamenco
show in the intimate Andaluz surroundings of El Burro Blanco (c/Gloria 3). Shows
take place at 10pm every night during peak season. Some hotels put on their own
entertainment including flamenco throughout the year.
Most evenings during the summer there's a "Nerja Tapas Trail" beginning at the
entrance to the church next to the Balcon de Europa at 8pm which takes you
around some typical tapas bars.
