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.
