Bar Las Niñas de Motril is a tapas bar at Calle Antonio Millón 9, in the Chaparil area, about 600 metres from the Balcón de Europa and off the tourist trail. It is run by three women, Lourdes, Mari and a colleague, whose welcome customers describe as homely, and it is rated 4.7 on Google and 4.6 on Tripadvisor.

The tapas. Granada-style: many drinks come with a free tapa, chosen from two blackboards with plenty of home-cooked options. Portions, and especially half portions, are huge; the meat in spicy sauce is among the recommendations. Expect €10-20 per person.

Opening hours. Evenings only, Tuesday to Sunday 19:00-24:00; closed on Mondays. There are tables outside, you can book and they also do takeaway.

Who it suits. Tapas like in a village bar, at good prices and without crowds of tourists. More bars in our guide to tapas in Nerja.
