Bar El Fuego is a Dutch-owned sports bar on Calle Filipinas, near Burriana beach. It is the place in Nerja to watch football and other live sport with a good atmosphere, and it has a 4.6 rating on Google from more than 450 reviews.

What there is. Matches on the screens, a pool table and board games, well-priced beer and drinks, and Dutch bar snacks. There are tables outside and it opens every day from 13:00 to 1:30, so it covers both lunchtime and evening kick-offs.

The atmosphere. Casual and very international, with residents and northern European visitors, especially British and Dutch. The friendly staff get the most praise.

Good to know. It is a bar for drinking and watching sport, not a place to eat. For big matches it fills up and service slows down: arrive early if you want a seat in front of the screen. More bars in our guide to nightlife in Nerja.
