Cornish Pasties And Pork Pies At Burriana Beach In August
For visitors and expats residents alike who are missing traditional British food whilst here in Nerja, the good news is that Cornish pasties are now on sale from various shops in Nerja, including at this restaurant on Burriana beach.
And if you fancy a change from paella and seafood straight from the barbecue, you can also get pork pie and chips.
Several shops in town are selling the pasties, including the bakers on the corner of Castilla Perez opposite the Riu Monica hotel at Torrecilla and the sandwich shop at the end of El Barrio.

So it it any different to eating Italian pizza/pasta or Indian or Chinese - all available in Burriana and across town? Just eat what you like and don't buy what you don't; there is plenty of choice

What a load of rubbish! In the UK we have the privilege to be able to eat many different styles of food and it seems unfair to not allow the people of Nerja to enjoy the same freedom.
As a Cornish woman who spends many weeks a year here I am very happy to see pasties on sale and hope they are enjoyed by the Spanish also. I normally enjoy one visit to the Codfather when here as love fish and chips as a treat. I wish the Hanleys well with their business. Kernow King would love this story!

Many thanks Pauline, for your lovely comment: we are doing really well here ( mainly with Spanish customers), which is always brilliant, as it means we’re accepted into this beautiful community
We have also been brilliantly supported by English bars and supermarkets: take a look at our facebook page to find out where.
Thanks once again…….
Happy to hear from any other “happy” expats anytime!

Well I never! Who’d have thought it!! Cornish Pasties could cause such international controversy!
Fair play to the Spanish owners of La Barca – Burriana for recognising what their English visitors really want, I suppose, just like all those Spanish Tapas Bars back in the UK (in the middle of winter), or are they making West London like Barcelona? – I don’t think so!
What I really find amazing is how all of the commentors can conveniently forget that bar after bar after bar along the strip in Burriana are undisputably English, and it already looks like a mini Blackpool strip.
“Kath” is correct – Jim’s pies are great – but it’s not a crime to offer a traditional seaside product on the beach.
Maybe we should form a posse to ban everything English in Nerja? ie: newspapers, supermarkets, English bars/restaurants and the like…..No?……..thought not!
ps: By the way…the last thing a real Cornish Pasty is, is English…..”Go Kernow”!!!!!!

I’m not sure where the surprised comments are coming from? I’ve lived here since Feb and can buy “hot-pot” black pudding and any number of british foods, anywhere in Nerja….and usually amongst the most popular places.
Surely it’s not about the food but the people that are here?
And Nerja has (and I would imagine) always retain it’s Spanish charm despite other international foods coming in.

Much as I like cornish pasties (in fact i had a beauty for lunch yesterday) when i come to Spain I like to forget about the idiosyncratic british cuisine. I had the misfortune to spend a short break in Benalmadena a few years ago and I am sure Cornish pasties and numerous other British delicasies are well received there— But Nerja !!! Heaven help us.
I have had the pies from Jims, and very nice they were, but not in a merandero on Burriana.

I agree with Jenny and David- a great shame to read this. Next you’ll be able to buy Lancashire hotpot and black pudding!

If you live full-time or part-time in Nerja you do sometimes crave just a little British food. Jim’s pies & pasties are to die for. Find him at the bottom of Calle Rodriguez Acosta next to Bahia cafe/bar at the roundabout above Carabeillo beach.

I am a resident and live here all year round. I do agree with you, Kath. However, down on the beach, in the middle of summer, this kind of sign makes me wonder if Nerja is turning into somewhere like Benidorm. Each to his/her own but I find it …unsettling.

Yes, it would be worrying if the main tourist areas started to look like Blackpool. It is Spain after all and the attraction of Nerja has always been that it is not like Benidorm, but much more like Spain. It is good for British residents that these things are available, but the main areas should continue to be very Spanish otherwise what is the point.

How very, very sad to see this sign on the front line in Burriana.

If that is what you really want don’t come to Nerja
