Nerja is on the Costa del Sol and lies between small coves and surrounded by impressive mountain scenery. At the easterly end of the province, only 50kms and a one hour drive from Málaga and within 1 ½ hours drive of Granada, you will find Nerja, the tourist capital of the Axarquia.

With its perfect climate, you can enjoy yourself all year round and take advantage of the relaxed way of life of a village that still retains much of the character of its moorish past.

The historic centre, than begins in the Balcón de Europa (Balcony of Europe), was constructed around 1487. Formerly a 9th Century Castle, it is now a viewing point above the sea. To the side of the Balcón, you will find the 17th Century El Salvador Church, constructed in baroque-mudejar style.

In the old quarter of town, typical small shops offer local craftworks and products of the area, including the sweet wine and olive oil, honey and tropical fruits. At the beach and fish restaurants you can enjoy the “pescaito frito” (fried fish), whilst the many international restaurants in town offer a wide variety of menus to suit all tastes.

Today, Nerja offers an excellent range of quality leisure time facilities for families and couples. There are a fine selection of beaches, including the internationally famous Burriana beach that has once again been awarded by the Blue Flag of the European Union.

Lounge on the excellent sandy beaches, read a book, take an occasional dip in the sea to cool off , have lunch in one of the several beach restaurants. Siesta on one of the beach loungers under a rafia parasol while topping up your sun tan.

Relax at Villa Rosaleen around the pool or on your private terraces, until you walk into town in the warm evening and stroll around the Balcon de Europa to see the street entertainers, international cafes, restaurants, bars, interesting shops and local crafts.

For those who seek alternative activities on their holidays, visit the world famous Nerja caves, and the Alhambra Palace at Granada, and the traditional market every Tuesday. There is fishing, diving, waterskiing, canoeing, water bikes, hiking, cycling, horseriding, walking, jeep safaris, paragliding and much more...
