About

Chiringuito El Canarias Playa is a beloved seaside eatery located on Torremolinos’ famous La Carihuela beach. With a history that stretches back to 1962, the venue blends traditional Spanish hospitality with a relaxed beach vibe, offering a menu that showcases fresh pescaito, espetada, and a variety of hearty breakfasts, lunches and dinners.

Guests can enjoy the vivid sounds of surf and laughter that permeate the open‑air setting, all while experiencing the genuine warmth of a long‑standing family‑run business. The lively ambience, coupled with a menu that balances traditional dishes and contemporary twists, has earned the chiringuito a reputation as one of Torremolinos’ top dining destinations.
