http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/34498 Nerja is one of the few places in Andalucia that still offer free tapas with a drink and in Mariposa they offer their best - truly showing off the local culinary skills and knowledge.
The owner has a top selection of Spanish riojas which beautifully compliment the food.
Personal food recommendations are the Aubergine Tempura drizzled with Frigiliana Molases followed by the locally caught Langoustine's in a potato lattice accompanied by the curry dip.
This is fine dining in an authentic little hub- excellent value for money!!
I would fly to Spain for some right now if I could!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/34498 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25797 Highly recommended if you want to sample the tapas and the atmosphere of the town, it will serve you a tapas when you order a drink and don't be frightened to ask for it if they are busy and not offering you one quick enough.
You can also eat lunch and dinner at tables on the street or the roof terrace if it is very busy, again because of the quality of the food this is a very busy restaurant but you never have to wait long for a table. When there is food football on the television you will find the locals come out in numbers,especially if it is Spanish team involved,not to be missed.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25797 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25796 There is a seperate area for eating if you want to get away from the noise of the lively bar.
This is another of the local haunts in a prominently Spanish part of town, they have large screens for all the major football tournaments.
I would recommend you search this one out if you want to get away from the main tourist areas, with a little research you will find this part of town has a lot going for it.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25796 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23898
The locals frequent this bar for lunch, dinner and to watch the live football matches. A very friendly atmosphere and interesting to experience.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23898 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23856 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23856 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22772 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22772 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22754 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22754 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16905

This gourmet Andalusian restaurant, with great contemporary flair, is a second generation family-run business.

The good news is that everything on the menu can be ordered as a tapa. Current dishes include chicken liver pâté with pacharán sauce, ham and wild mushroom croquettes, pork fillet with rioja wine caramel and duck magret with honey and kalamansi sauce. Wonderful wines a- plenty too.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16905
