The unique and dramatic sea and beach views from this tastefully furnished two-bedroom apartment will take your breath away. Its panoramic south-facing balcony, literally a stone’s throw from the Mediterranean, is right on the un-commercialised El Playazo beach, the longest beach in Nerja, and adjoining the beautiful Torrecilla beach.

The apartment is situated in a small private development (with lift) of only twelve apartments, within five minutes to the main shopping area of Nerja and between the smart Hotel Perla Marina next door, and the exclusive 4-star Riu Monica Hotel round the corner.

The vicinity of the apartment is quiet and free from traffic noise, yet Nerja’s amenities and two large supermarkets are within 1minutes walk. Or stroll along the Torrecilla beach’s superb promenade fringed with palm trees to Nerja’s shops and restaurants. The famous palm-fringed Balcon de Europa with its spectacular sea and mountain panorama, including Morocco on a clear day, is only ten minutes’ stroll from the apartment through the charming old town.

The spacious and comfortable accommodation sleeps up to 5, and comprises:

Large lounge with double sofa-bed, dining area, Sky TV, air-conditioning, with laminated flooring throughout.

Good size beachfront balcony with table and chairs, with sea views.

Fully fitted kitchen with hob, fridge-freezer, microwave, toaster, kettle.

Plenty of family activities in the area, including two beach play areas five minutes walk away. There is a spa facilities opposite the apartment block offering special rates. Full use of a large swimming pool at the Perla Marina Hotel situated next door.

Parking is available on the quiet street outside the apartment, or in Summer months if parking is difficult, you can use the Perla Marina hotel car park. (€10 a day) though shops, restaurants, Spanish ‘tapas’ bars and all amenities are so close that it is not really necessary to hire a car unless you want to travel outside Nerja.

Protected and sheltered by the surrounding horseshoe-shape Sierra Almijara mountains, it enjoys a sub-tropical micro-climate, claiming the best all-year round weather in Europe. Nerja has a relaxed atmosphere with a more informal feel than the neon and glitz of its counterparts to the west of Malaga. Characterised by steep cliffs and nine clean sandy beaches all with Blue Flag awards (by far the busiest being Burriana), it offers water-skiing, scuba diving, snorkelling, pedalos, windsurfing and fishing, as well as paragliding, walking, cycling, horse-riding, tennis and go-karting (20 kms away).

Enjoy safe sea bathing (water temperatures vary only from 18ºC in winter to 24ºC in summer), or 2 aqua parks 15 kms away. For golfers the Baviera Golf Club is 15 kms away at Velez Malaga, and the Añoreta Golf Club is 30 kms away at Rincon re la Victoria.

Nerja is also a perfect base to explore the authentic Andalucia, steeped in Spanish and Moorish history and culture. Visit the Alhambra at Granada * (the finest remaining Moorish Palace in the world); Cordoba (once the premier city of the Western world where Europe’s first medieval university was founded); Seville; the gorge at Ronda; Gibraltar; Tarifa for world-class windsurfing or a 30-minute hydrofoil trip to Morocco; lovely 'pueblos blancos' (white villages) such as Frigiliana; the prehistoric caves at Nerja, the second biggest in Europe; further wonderful beaches heading east along the coast to Mojacar and the Almerian coast; or enjoy superb mountain scenery in the nearby Alpujarras mountains – all are within travelling distance for a perfect day's sightseeing. Or you can even ski in the Sierra Nevada from December to April.
