- Why go?
- La Bodeguita del Tapeo is popular with locals and visitors for good reason. It's a traditional Spanish tapas bar with a lively atmosphere, friendly service and plenty of dishes designed for sharing. The menu covers classic Spanish favourites, so it's an easy choice when you want a proper tapeo rather than a formal sit-down meal.
- What to order
- Order several things for the table and let everyone fight politely over the favourite. Pulpo a la gallega, tortilla española, boquerones en vinagre and jamón are all good places to start. Their selection is broad, so don't be afraid to mix things up.
- Good to know
- This is a popular spot and the terrace can fill up quickly, particularly when the weather is doing what Fuengirola weather usually does. Service is known for being friendly and efficient, which helps keep things moving even when the place is busy.
- Local fact
- You'll find La Bodeguita del Tapeo right at the start of Fuengirola's famous Fish Alley. It's just off the seafront, surrounded by bars, cafés and restaurants, making it an easy place to start a proper Spanish tapeo and see where the evening takes you.
- Open
- Monday, Wednesday–Sunday · Check current hours before you go.
- Verdict
- Popular for a reason. Order plenty, share everything and try not to pick a favourite.
