Balcon de Maro

Situated at the entrance to the charming hamlet of Maro, part of the municipality of Nerja, Balcón de Maro presents itself as a must-stop for those looking to experience the slow, authentic pace of the Costa del Sol. This café and passing bar is very well known among local residents and tourists heading to visit the famous Cuevas de Nerja or the idyllic beaches and cliffs of the protected natural area. Its strategic location on calle Real makes it the perfect meeting point to start the day with energy or to take a refreshing break at midday.

Balcón de Maro’s food offering stands out for its simplicity and its roots in Andalusian customs. In the mornings, the aroma of freshly made coffee fills the place, accompanying its traditional toast with tomato, extra virgin olive oil from the region or manteca colorá. As the day goes on, the bar counter is transformed to offer a selection of classic tapas, home-made portions and sandwiches ideal for replenishing your energy after a day of hiking or a swim in the coves of Maro. Customers often highlight the outdoor terrace, a very pleasant space where you can enjoy the mild climate of the Axarquía while watching the day-to-day life of this beautiful white village.
