Eating tapas in Marbella
by: Marbella Family

In Spain, there are various ways to eat out: you can go to a traditional restaurant or you can go for tapas, usually consisting in bar hopping and eating tapas (small portions of appetizers - hot or cold) at each place. Tapas usually sell for 1.50 to 4 euros.

Any bar will have a few different tapas for sale on its counter. Many restaurants will also offer tapas. In most places, you can combine tapas, media ración or ración (half or full plate), or you can order a dish.

You will pretty much find the following tapas everywhere: ensaladilla rusa (vegetable and tuna salad in mayo), albóndigas (meatballs), tortilla (Spanish omlet), manchego cheese, serrano ham and chorizo... Some places offer a greater variety of tapas including seafood, beef...

Following is a list of a few places in Marbella:

- on the paseo maritimo, in the parallel street right (facing the sea) of avenida del Mar, you will find a few places specializing in tapas with big beer barrels outside. Going up the street, there is a great place called La taberna del pintxo. A little further on calle del Padre Enrique Cantos, there is one of our favorites, Casa Vasca. It is not the cheapest, but their variety and quality make it a special place.

- in Old Town Marbella, we recommend you get lost in the narrow streets and enter any bar for a tapa and drink in a real traditional atmosphere. If you prefer an address, you can try La Pesquera on Plaza de la Victoria. It is a large outdoor restaurant but offers seafood tapas inside.

- in Puerto Banus, there is another high-end tapas place called La Moraga in front of the Corte Ingles, and Gambrinus on Marina Banus square.

If you find other great addresses, just let us know.
