Authentic Spanish food · Tapas · Lively atmosphere
- Why go?
- One of the best places in town if you want to experience Spanish food the way locals do it. The cooking is traditional, the ingredients are taken seriously and the atmosphere is lively from the moment you walk in. It is small, busy and moves at its own pace, which is very much part of the experience.
- What to order
- Bacalao Frito, and don't even think about leaving without trying the tuna and tomato salad. Both are non-negotiable. If you're sharing, add a few tapas and let the table slowly disappear under plates.
- Good to know
- This is a small and popular place, so expect it to get busy. Booking ahead is a very good idea, especially around lunch and dinner. If you walk in without a reservation, you might get lucky. You might also end up watching everyone else eat.
- Local fact
- La Abacería de David is on Calle Marconi in central Fuengirola, close to the Plaza de los Chinorros area. The restaurant is known for its traditional Andalusian cooking, but it also works as an abacería, selling Spanish gourmet products such as Iberian ham, cheeses, anchovies and other local favourites.
- Open
- Tuesday–Saturday · Check current hours before you go.
- Verdict
- Small, busy, unapologetically Spanish. Exactly what we want.
