Cafetería Albi is on the Balcón de Europa square itself (number 7), with a terrace on Nerja's busiest promenade. It is a café, ice-cream parlour and burger bar in one, open every day from 9:30 to midnight, so it works for a morning coffee as well as dinner or an ice cream at night. It has more than 1,400 Google reviews with a 3.9 rating.

What to order. The fresh-meat burgers get the most praise: smash, chicken or truffle, with thick home-made chips. There are also pizzas, toasted sandwiches, starters, breakfasts and generous desserts. The ice-cream counter has lots of flavours. There are vegetarian options and you pay €10-20 per person.

Good to know. You are paying for the location: prices are above the town average. The most repeated criticisms are curt service from some staff, pressure to free up tables and cleanliness. On the plus side: the terrace, quick service and burgers that deliver.

Who it suits. Anyone who wants a casual bite or an ice cream without leaving the Balcón. There is a second branch on Burriana beach, Albi Burriana. More burgers in our guide to burger bars in Nerja.
