- Why go?
- The square does half the work here. Sit outside at Plaza de los Churros, order a glass of wine or a cocktail and let Fuengirola provide the entertainment. Kids run around, dogs pass by, neighbours stop for a chat and tourists wander through, while your drink slowly disappears without you noticing. Then the food starts arriving and the plan quietly changes from "just one drink" to "we might as well order something to eat". Bubba Bar serves a selection of Spanish tapas and small plates, making it a particularly easy place to settle into for an afternoon or evening rather than simply stopping for a quick drink. It is central, social and lively without trying to turn itself into a nightclub. The atmosphere comes from the square and the people around it, which is exactly what makes the place work.
- What to order
- Start with a cocktail or a glass of wine, then add a few tapas for the table. Croquetas and meatballs are easy choices, while the tempura is worth considering if you want something a little different. If you are settling in for the evening, the rabo de toro is the more serious option.
- Good to know
- Outdoor seating is a big part of the experience, so the best tables are the ones facing the square. This is lively rather than loud, with plenty of people coming and going throughout the evening. It is also a good option when your group wants drinks and food without committing to a full restaurant dinner.
- Local fact
- Plaza de los Churros is one of those small central Fuengirola squares that you can easily walk through without realising you have found a good place to stop. Bubba Bar sits right on its edge, close to the streets and shops of the town centre, making it an easy detour when exploring central Fuengirola.
