| The Quaint seaside town of Nerja
|
Nerja is on the seashore some 50 kilometres from
Málaga on the N340 coastal highway, and marks the eastern
tip of Málaga's Costa del Sol. Once a sleepy fishing village,
the town now has a population of over 12,000.
Nerja boasts 16 kilometres of beaches with powdery
sand and sparkling clear water. All major water sports are available
here, including water skiing, scuba diving and sailing.
Flanked
by a dramatic mountain range, Sierra Almijara, to the east, the
town has, fortunately, managed to avoid being blighted by the concrete
high-rise scenario which has been the inevitable result of the tourist
boom in some of the coastal resorts. The old quarter of the town
is still virtually unchanged with narrow, winding streets, whitewashed
houses with wrought iron terraces overflowing with geraniums, on
which a canary can sometimes be heard singing...
 However, the heart of Nerja is its spectacular Balcón
de Europa, the "Balcony of Europe", a magnificent
promenade along the edge of a towering cliff, once the site of the
great Moorish castle, with sweeping panoramic views of the Mediterranean
and the small coves and beaches below, against an awesome backdrop
of hazy blue mountains.
There are plenty of restaurants and cafes here to
choose from, and the visitor can hire a horse-drawn carriage to
explore the most romantic corner of the town.
The town's monuments include the 17th century Church of
El Salvador, in a style which is a charming mixture of
baroque and Moorish, or mudéjar, and the beautiful Gardens
of Capistrano Playa, which descend to Burriana Beach.
However, Nerja's most spectacular attraction is
undoubtedly its fascinating caves, located just
three kilometres from the centre of town. They include archaeological
treasures such as paintings over 20,000 years old and other pre-historic
remains. One of the enormous natural caverns has been transformed
into a concert hall, where many performances are staged during the
summer. This year Nerja is celebrating the 38th International Cave
Festival, with the participation of many top international entertainers.
Nerja cuisine includes several specialities including
De La Doncella (red mullet) and pescaito frito (fried fish) and
ranging from top international cuisine to the ubiquitous sausage,
eggs and chips!
Nerja is 50 km from Málaga.
It is connected to the western end of the Costa del Sol by a dual
carriage motorway. The journey from Marbella takes about an hour,
while travelling from Málaga takes around half an hour.
