Holidays to Nerja
Why Nerja?
Discover powdery beaches, ancient treasures, and lush landscapes on a holiday to Nerja. About 50km east of Malaga, this Andalusian gem has long been an inspiration for writers and artists, thanks in part to its famous boardwalk, the Balcony of Europe, which gifts visitors a jaw-dropping panorama over the Mediterranean and the wider Costa del Sol.
Nerja’s best-known natural landmark is its cave system, a short hop away in Maro. Discovered 60 years ago, these gobsmacking grottos contain the world’s largest stalactite, ancient human remains and evidence of some of the earliest paintings known to humans.
Did we mention the beaches? Nerja boasts nearly 10 miles of the sandy stuff, from the bustling Burriana Beach to unspoilt coves like Carabeo. The clear, calm sea plays host to a range of water sports, from snorkelling to banana boating.
Nerja’s cute town centre boasts historic houses, busy squares and a museum of local history. You’re sure to receive a warm welcome and oodles of hospitality at any of the town’s top-notch restaurants, which serve tasty traditional Andalusian cuisine like fried fish and gazpacho.
Packed your hiking boots? Nearby mountain ranges, natural parks and the Rio Chillar canyon offer plenty of opportunities to work up a sweat. The whopping Eagle Aqueduct, with four storeys and 38 arches, is another must-see.
Whether you’re a beach bum, a nature lover or a history buff (or all three), you’ll find plenty to please you on a holiday to Nerja.
