From paella at Ayo on the beach to tapas on an alley terrace in the old town - you'll eat well, fresh and often with your feet almost in the sand here. With over 300 eateries, there is always something new to try.
With 17 kilometers of coastline, there is always a beach to suit you: Calahonda overlooking the Balcony of Europe, Burriana for families and water sports, or Playa El Salón tucked among white houses.
Visit the world-famous Caves of Nerja, wander the Balcón de Europa or book a bike tour to the aqueduct and the Maro district. A trip to Frigiliana or Granada is also easily made.
From light walks along the coast to Cerro Gordo to more rugged routes toward the Sierra de Almijara, here you'll hike between sea and mountains. The views? Those will stay with you.
Nerja is pleasant all year round. Summer is sunny and lively. Spring and fall are quieter and perfect for hiking, strolling and eating with a view.
Fly to Málaga (about 57 km). From there you can get there within an hour by car or cab. By bus, it's about two hours. A rental car gives you freedom for day trips and exploring the coast.
The center is atmospheric and uncluttered. Stroll through white streets, past churches and squares, toward the promenade and the Balcony of Europe. Everything is within walking distance - and always a bar or view along the way.
Whether you are staying in a hotel near the beach or looking for an apartment in a side street of the center, there is plenty of choice. Price-wise interesting and easily accessible.
Caves, beaches, viewpoints, markets and restaurants. Book a flamenco show, rent a sup or explore Frigiliana. Nerja is a place where you can do, but also just be.
Because of its location by the sea as well as the shelter of the mountains, the climate here is mild. Summers are warm but rarely extremely hot. In winter it is mild, sunny and perfect for those who want to spend the winter.
Burriana is beloved, but Calahonda at the Balcony of Europe is iconic. For tranquility: Playa El Salón or Playa El Playazo.
