This is where you eat well on the Costa Tropical

Absolutely! The Costa Tropical and Nerja are known for their authentic Spanish cuisine, with dishes such as paella, gazpacho, and fresh seafood.

Be sure to try espetos (grilled sardines), avocado with shrimp from the region, and fresh fish dishes such as dorado or sea bass.

Most restaurants open for lunch from 1 pm to 4 pm and for dinner from 8 pm to 11 pm. However, check specific times, especially off-season.

It's best to stop by a day in advance or call in time to reserve a table. If you call, you can use this example: *"Hola, buenos días/tardes. Me gustaría reservar una mesa, por favor. ¿Tienen disponibilidad para [número de personas] personas el [día y hora]? "* This way you are clear and polite, and you increase your chances of getting a spot!

A meal ranges from €10-€15 in a tapas bar to €25-€50 in more upscale restaurants with a view.

Tipping is not mandatory, but a tip of 5-10% is appreciated, especially for good service.

Not all restaurants on the Costa Tropical and in Nerja are open year-round. Some restaurants close during the off-season (often in winter) or have modified opening hours. Therefore, it is always a good idea to check in advance if the restaurant is open. The best way to do this is to check their Facebook page. Many restaurants share updates about their opening hours and any closures here. In addition, there are often local Facebook groups where you can ask questions. Here locals respond quickly and you often get valuable tips on which restaurants are currently open. This way you avoid surprises and are always well prepared!
