Tapas - small plates of Spanish delicacies
Los Melli - Tapa Bar
- Address: Calle Guzman El Bueno, 16
- 11380 Tarifa, Cadiz
The bar is very small, but convinces with fantastic food, which is usually being consumed standing at the bar. In the summer they put some tables out on the street, but you have to be quite early to achieve one of them. After 21:00 it gets really crowded here.
You'll find Los Melli below the town hall in the historical center of Tarifa. If you can't speak any Spanish, then you'll have to point your finger on the tapa of your choice in the glas vitrine on top of the bar to order.

Anca Curro - Tapa Bar
- Address: Calle Moreno de Mora, 5
- 11380 Tarifa, Cadiz
- Tel. 658 854 012
The decoration is unique: entire hams are hanging from the roof, posters of bull fights are covering the walls together with hundreds of other little gadgets that would take too much time to list here.
The owner is from one of the famous Spanish families focusing on the breeding of the Iberian black pigs. We assume that this will be the best pork you'll have ever had in your life.
Make sure to order the Solomillo Iberico (pork filet), it's incredible!
This bar is located 100m from the Puerta de Jerez (the arch way into the old center) in a little side lane of the Calle de la Luz. Look out for the two metal horse's heads besides the entrance door.
