Nerja
Situated on the coast approximately fifty kilometres from Malaga. Nerja was a quiet fishing village and the old quarter has remained virtually unchanged with delightful narrow streets and whitewashed Moorish houses with wrought iron terraces set against the dramatic backdrop of the Sierra Almijara mountain range. Nerja boasts sixteen kilometres of beautiful beaches with all major water sports on offer including water skiing, scuba diving and sailing. One of the best beaches is Burriana. The town's monuments include the 17th century Church of El Salvador and the beautiful Gardens of Capistrano Playa, which descend to Burriana Beach. Built on the cliff edge the spectacular Balcón de Europa is a magnificent view point and promenade with wide panoramic vistas of the sparkling Mediterranean and small coves and beaches below. Another of Nerja's main attractions is its fascinating caves located just three kilometres from the centre of town. One of the huge natural caverns has been transformed into a concert hall where many performances are staged during the summer. Nerja cuisine includes several specialities including De La Doncella (red mullet) and pescaito frito (fried fish) and there are numerous restaurants and cafes to choose from. A regular bus service goes to Malaga and the towns in between.
