Nestled along the golden sands of Estepona, Chiringuito El Madero stands as one of the most charming beachfront restaurants on the Costa del Sol. Known for its relaxed atmosphere and mouth-watering seafood, it’s a true representation of Andalusian coastal life.
Here, visitors can enjoy the typical Malaga fried fish, fresh sea bream, king prawns, squid, and the famous sardine skewers—all grilled to perfection in a traditional fishing boat. The setting is as authentic as the cuisine, offering a perfect blend of rustic charm and coastal elegance.

Thatch and Timber Craftsmanship
Cape Reed was proud to be part of the transformation of Chiringuito El Madero, crafting a space that feels both natural and luxurious. Our team constructed a beautiful thatch roof that seamlessly complements the beach surroundings while providing natural insulation and a tropical aesthetic.
The interior features timber and thatch detailing, enhancing the warm and welcoming feel of the restaurant. We also installed timber lath screens for shade and privacy, along with timber wall cladding on the exterior to create a unified, organic look. Every element was designed to blend with the coastal environment while maintaining the durability needed for seaside structures.
Safety Meets Sustainability with Cape Reed Fireshield
In addition to design and craftsmanship, Cape Reed prioritizes safety and sustainability. To protect the structure, we applied our innovative Cape Reed Fireshield treatment. This environmentally friendly solution enhances fire resistance without compromising the natural beauty of the thatch or timber.
By combining eco-conscious construction methods with advanced safety technology, we ensure that Chiringuito El Madero’s structure is as safe as it is stunning—ready to welcome guests season after season.
