Paralelo 36

One of many

A decent enough bar right on the front. A perfect spot to enjoy the evening sun. You’ll often find street performers providing entertainment in front of this bar.

☀️ This bar is best when it’s sunny. They don’t have any inside seating for when the weather is bad. The location has great views of the beach and sea.

Editors Comment

Paralelo 36 is a functional bar right on the seafront. I’ve visited it a few times, but only for a drink, I’ve never tried the food here.

It does drinks well however, with a large outside seating area, a great view of the Mediterranean Sea and good service. My favorite time to visit is in the early evening as you can catch the last of the days sun and you’ll often find one of the best street performers in Estepona playing.

Great for a beachfront drink and some evening sun.

What we like

  • Great location with good views
  • Extensive drink selection
  • Often has music from street performers

What we don’t like

  • Lacks any charm or character
  • Service can be slow

The Google schedule says it closes at midnight. We arrived before 10:00 p.m. We sat down, and no one served us. We just wanted a cocktail or something after coming from somewhere else for dinner. Ten minutes passed, and when we called the waitress, she gestured from a distance that they were closed (there were several tables having drinks and sodas). I got up to ask, and the waitress told me the schedule wasn’t updated, that they closed at 11:00 p.m., and at 10:00 p.m. (an hour earlier) they stopped serving us because they had to start closing.
It was a disgrace; what I felt was that they didn’t want to serve us.

A cola and a beer. Too expensive.

Terrible service, discriminatory. They refused to serve us, citing false hours. It’s disgraceful that the service is poor, the lack of professionalism, and it’s a shame that such a poor image of Estepona is being portrayed in such a central location.

Excellent attention from the staff, as well as a very tasty meal,

The Food

I haven’t tried the food here.

It just doesn’t look like the place to eat. It’s a bar!

A quick read of the latest Google reviews reveal a mixed bag of dining experiences here.

  • Traditional Spanish menu
  • Ice Cream Selection
  • Breakfast menu
  • Burger selection

Personally, come here for a nice drink on the sea before heading to a decent restaurant.

The Location

The location is the best thing about the place. Right on the front next to a delightful square.

There are lots of tables outside, but it’s often busy, especially in the summer. When it’s busy the service can suffer too.

  • Lovely location with sea views
  • Lots of outside seating
  • Popular place for street performers

They are open from 9am in the morning right through to midnight.
