There is a reason that Nerja is known as “the jewel of the Costa del Sol”. A 16km stretch of powdery beaches and sandy coves surrounded by the rugged cliffs of the Sierra de Almijara, it is a stunning stretch of the Spanish coastline.
A resort that somehow escaped the big boom of development, Nerja is refreshingly free from high-rise hotels. The old town, a charming jumble of pristine, white houses with vibrant flowers spilling over the balconies, is typically Andalucian. Unspoilt by tourism, the centre is a maze of narrow, white-washed streets and picturesque plazas.
For beach-bound holidaymakers looking for long days of sun, sea and sand, Nerja is well-equipped. From secluded sandy coves to water-sports centres, scuba-diving to boat trips, there is something for every taste.
A blend of cultures and histories spread across a craggy landscape, Nerja is also home to some impressive sites. The resort centres on the ‘Balcón de Europa’ (the Balcony of Europe). Once the site of a Moorish castle, this impressive promenade skirts the edge of the cliff side, towering way above the sandy beaches below offering expansive views of the sparkling Mediterranean waters. The caves, only 3km from town, are another spectacular feature. A network of caverns filled with prehistoric remains and artistic treasures over 20,000 years old, they are an archaeological wonder.
