DAY 20 – WHAT TO DO IN NERJA, SPAIN

5/7/2014

0 Comments

 
Tuesday, May 6 (Nerja) - On the Costa del Sol in the Malaga province in Andalucia, there is a small beach town called Nerja.  About an hour from Malaga and just over two hours from Granada, Nerja is a great stopping point while touring the south of Spain.  It isn’t particularly inundated with tourists (but there are many expats from England who retired here or have second homes here), and there are numerous beaches each with its own charm.

What to do in Nerja

  • Nerja Caves deserve a visit as the only main attraction in the area (15-minute bus for around 3 Euros roundtrip)
  • Frigiliana is absolutely gorgeous and if you don't want to hike to Frigiliana, you can take a 15-minute bus for 1 Euro each way
  • Beach time - Nerja IS a beach town, so be sure to soak up the sun (I prefer Burriana beach)

Where to eat in Nerja

  • Merendero Ayo has a massive pot of paella cooking at all times and includes free seconds!
  • Little Italy has extremely inexpensive (and tasty) pizzas
  • Anahi, the restaurant/pastry and ice cream shop, has an unbeatable view of Calahonda beach
  • La Mar Sala is a quality tapas restaurant which holds the tradition of a free tapa with each drink you order (ask for Fernando as your waiter)
