Welcome to El Boquerón Restaurant, a family-owned tapas and wine bar in the heart of Marbella Old Town.

A Cosy Old Town Favourite for Proper Spanish Tapas

For us at MarbsLifestyle.com, El Boquerón is the kind of small Old Town tapas spot to visit with good company and a full table.

El Boquerón is exactly the type of restaurant we love finding in Marbella Old Town: small, cosy, warm and genuinely Spanish in feeling. It is not about a big resort-style experience, but about sitting down in an intimate family-owned tapas and wine bar where the atmosphere feels local, informal and easy to enjoy.

The best way to experience it is with friends or family, ordering a selection of tapas and letting the table fill up with different plates to share. For us, that is where El Boquerón really makes sense: conversation, wine, Spanish flavours and the pleasure of trying a little bit of everything in one of Marbella’s most atmospheric neighbourhoods.

Because it is a small restaurant, we would not treat it as somewhere to rush into with a large group at the last minute. Go with the right people, ask for favourite dishes, share generously and enjoy the charm of a traditional Marbella Old Town evening.
