Caléndula Tapas

Creative tapas · Torremolinos · Calle Skal, junto a la playa del Bajondillo

Must try

In 2025-2026 reviews: red prawn croquettes, tuna and avocado tartare with wakame, tuna duo (tartare and tataki), rib brioche, ensaladilla, gratinated pork cheek and torrijas (Spanish-style French toast). Five tapas are enough for two (April 2026).

About

Modern tapas bar next to the Bajondillo, with a terrace. Barceló mentions the porra antequerana (thick cold tomato and bread soup) with orange and smoked cod, and the tuna tartare toast.

Good to know

Book, although some people walk in without one. Recent complaints: noise, a smell of frying inside and portions that are small for the price (April 2026).

Getting there and parking

Next to the Bajondillo; you go down from the centre by Cuesta del Tajo or by the public lift (€0.50).
