Heading to nerja in May, would like recommendations for restaurants.And also scenic quiet beaches.Cheers
We went last summer. One of the nicest places we've ever been to and the food was fantastic. A far cry from any normal expectation of a Spanish resort. We're going back in summer
Food highlights
Sublime - A tapas place with a real focus on fish. It looks like a basic cafe but the food was unbelievable.

Restaurant 34 @ Hotel Carabeo - an absolutely stunning setting. Beautiful veranda right on a cliff. Wonderful art deco interior. The food was fantastic as was the service
Bar El Pulguilla - The best seafood we had. Looks like a bog standard restaurant at the front but ask to be seated out back in the garden. It's like being in Jumanji!
Esquina Paulina - Cracking spot to people watch and the tapas were brilliant

La Posada Iberica - Place to go for meat. Small menu, cooking over coals. I'm salivating thinking about it

Volk's Bar - no food, but a cool cocktail bar right in the heart of the old town. Not easy to find as you go into a bar and take an elevator to the rood
Beach wise, Playa Calahonda just below the Balcon De Europa was the nicest one. There's a beach club there with cabanas or loungers you can hire and a really nice restaurant plus waiting staff for drinks etc.
I'd avoid the Playa Carabeillo beach and that side generally. It was a bit more traditional holiday resort but stick around the old town and you'll be grand.
Bike shop in the town hires out e-bikes. I rode up to frigiliana in the mountains - about 8 mile away. Lovely spot for lunch.
- Brilliant thanks for the suggestions!!

Virtudes is a nice spot for lunch in Frigliana. They also have a nice ice cream kiosk next door for afters.
I love Nerja. Great riding and loads of restaurants, our favourites restaurants are la Bottega and el Refugio, definitely book up though. I’m going back in May 👍
Would recommend going to the caves nearby, also a walk up (in) the rio chillar.
For breakfast and coffee on the Burrana side there's a fantastic Swedish bakery, Nybakat; and some cafe bars next to it doing solid fry-ups, pancakes and the like. There's also a bar in that row run by an English bloke, which apparently is decent for roasts etc.
Also on that side, Iranzo supermarket is way better than the Carrefour, which is a bit past it
