Nerja

The town of Nerja on the Costa del Sol in Andalucía presents miles of pristine white beaches, mountainous backdrops, and cliffside coves bordering Spain’s Mediterranean coast. Its charming town center has several masterpieces of Roman, Baroque and Moorish architecture. You can wander past historic houses and cozy squares, with natural surroundings of cliffs and canyons.

Many visit Nerja for its famous caves, where you can see primitive paintings dating back 42,000 years. One of the chambers serves as a natural amphitheater that regularly hosts live concerts. Nature lovers can enjoy hiking and camping at the Sierras of Tejeda, Almijara and Alhama Natural Park, or spend their days lounging on Nerja’s many beaches.
