- Why go?
- Palangreros has been part of Fuengirola's restaurant scene since 1988, and it still feels like the sort of place where the food comes first. The menu covers everything from fresh fish and seafood to classic Spanish and Mediterranean dishes, while the service keeps things warm and personal.
- What to order
- The zarzuela de pescado y marisco is the obvious choice if you're here for seafood. Other good options include prawns al pil-pil, sea bass, turbot and cod, while the beef dishes give non-fish eaters plenty to choose from. If you're a group, order a few different things and share.
- Good to know
- It is a relatively small restaurant, so booking ahead is a smart move, especially when you're bringing the parents along. The restaurant also offers gluten-free options.
- Local fact
- Palangreros has been serving Fuengirola since 1988. Antonio Gómez has been at the helm for more than 35 years, with the restaurant built around traditional Mediterranean cooking, seasonal produce and a distinctly family-run feel.
- Open
- Monday to Wednesday, 19:00–22:00. Closed Thursday. Friday to Sunday, 19:00–22:00. Check current opening hours before you go.
- Verdict
- Thirty-five years of feeding Fuengirola is a pretty good reason to let the family handle dinner.
