Nerja is perhaps the most beautiful place on the Costa Del Sol. 50 kilometres to the east of Malaga, what was once a sleepy fishing village is now vibrant home to more than 20 thousand people from all parts of the world. Though Nerja has obviously become more cosmopolitan, the town retains its uniquely Spanish character. The white washed houses, the narrow winding streets, the terraces overflowing with geraniums and most importantly the warm welcoming people could only ever be from one place: Andalucia. At the heart of Nerja is the spectacular Balcón de Europa, a promenade stretching out into the Mediterranean, offering views of the town's numerous coves and beaches plus the magnificent Sierra Almijara. At night it can seem like the whole town is rambling up and down it. The Balcón has a vibrant energy and life that it completely its own.

.... If you don't feel like walking then you can take a horse-drown carriage and tour the town or hop on the 'train' and travel to Nueva Nerja. Be warned; it is very popular with children! After a day spent lazing on the Burriana beach or one of the smaller coves closer to the town centre, Nerja offers a wide range of restaurants and tapas bars that will satisfy almost every palette. And though the town is usually thought of as a family destination,vibrant nightlife can be found in the Tutti Frutti area.If you are looking for something slightly more cultured the Casa Cultura on Calle Granada offers a range of events. However, if you are there during the summer, you should try and get to one of the many events held in the Cuevas de Nerja.
