Nerja
The jewel of the Costa del Sol
On the sun-drenched coast of Andalusia lies Nerja, a charming seaside town known for its pearly white beaches, spectacular caves, and breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea. With its authentic Spanish atmosphere and stunning nature, Nerja is a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the Costa del Sol.
The Balcony of Europe
The most famous landmark of Nerja is the Balcón de Europa, a panoramic viewpoint that towers high above the sea. From here, you can enjoy stunning views of the coastline, the azure sea, and the rugged rock formations. This is the perfect spot to enjoy a magical sunset!
Beautiful beaches & hidden coves
Nerja boasts some of the most beautiful beaches on the Costa del Sol. Whether you’re looking for lively urban beaches or secluded coves between cliffs, there’s something for everyone:
• Playa Burriana – the most popular beach, with a long promenade filled with restaurants and water sports opportunities.
• Playa de Maro – an idyllic beach just outside of Nerja, perfect for snorkeling and kayaking.
• Playa Calahonda – a picturesque little beach right beneath the Balcón de Europa.
Hidden underground wonder
One of the main attractions of Nerja is the Cueva de Nerja, a vast cave system with impressive stalactites and prehistoric rock paintings. This ‘underground cathedral’ is one of the most fascinating archaeological finds in Spain and is a must-see!
Hiking in nature
For nature lovers, Nerja offers fantastic hiking trails. A must-do is the Río Chíllar walk, where you’ll trek through a shallow river, past waterfalls and through narrow gorges. Or explore the Maro-Cerro Gordo Nature Reserve, a protected area with rugged cliffs and hidden beaches.
