About the town of Nerja,Costa Del Sol
Nerja lies on the eastern most tip of the Costa del Sol, where the mountains meet the sea. Some 50 kilometres from Malaga it is around 45minutes drive on the N340 highway.
Once a sleepy fishing village, Nerja has retained its Andalucian character,
particularly in the old quarter with its narrow cobbled streets and whitewashed
houses.
At the heart of the town is the Balcon de Europa, a palm tree lined promenade
built along the edge of a cliff and out to sea with panoramic views of
the Mediterranean and Nerja's nine sandy beaches stretching to over 16
kilometres in total.
Flanked and protected by the mighty Sierra Almijara mountain range Nerja
is said to have the best Climate in the entire Costa del Sol, not to mention
the dramatic scenery.
Nerja's most spectacular attraction has to be its caves. The Cueva De
Nerja is regarded as one of the most historic monuments of the world,
with archeological remains dating back thousands of years. One of the
enormous natural caverns has been transformed into a concert hall where
many performances are staged.
Frigilianna, the most picturesque whitewashed Andalucian mountain village
is just 6km away and is well worth a visit. If you have not hired a car
there are frequent buses or arranged trips. Also within driving distance
or by arranged trips are Granada, Seville, Ronda and Gibraltar.
