A place still exists on the Costa del Sol that lies between small coves, beautiful sandy beaches, impressive mountain scenery and untouched by high rise developments. At the easterly end of the region, some 55 kilometres (35 miles) from Malaga (30 minutes drive from Malaga's Airport along the new N340 motorway) you'll find the pretty little town of Nerja.
Nerja has 9kms of beaches, which includes the famous Burriana beach. Last year this was once again awarded its Blue Flag (EU standards for cleanliness and facilities). All major water sports are available here, including scuba diving, water skiing, surfing etc.
Calahonda beach
From Burriana along to the Calahonda beach, runs a scenic path that winds its way through the rocks, little coves and secluded beaches. A fantastic walk way with views second to none. Taking a stroll along this walkway you'll come across the famous Balcon de Europa. This landmark has since become the centre point of this picturesque town and at dusk it is the scene of a relaxed 'paseo' as people stroll along the avenue of palm trees, watching the sun set and the sea turn mauve. An ideal location to sit at one of the cafes, sipping your drink and watch the world go by!
The town & beaches are easily explored on foot and whilst taking a leisurely stroll through the winding narrow streets, you'll come across interesting shops, boutiques and quaint cafes. Nerja has managed to keep its charm and character of a typical Spanish village, with neat clean streets lined with white washed houses with wrought iron terraces overflowing with beautiful geraniums.
Nerja provides lots of shopping opportunities, and each Tuesday a local market is held. Tennis, squash, and golf are all within easy reach. You can go for a quiet hike in the nearby mountains and, dotted in the hillside you will find an Andalucian village with astounding views and tranquil peace. From Nerja, such fascinating destinations as Granada, Seville, Cordoba, Ronda, and even Morocco are within a day's travel.

With plenty of restaurants, cafes and bars to choose from.......you'll never run out of different places to try! Dishes from tasty steaks to tapas, international cuisine as well as the ubiquitous sausage, eggs and chips! Also, locally caught fish.....and something you definitely can't miss out on, is traditional 'Paella' at " Ayo's Beach Bar" on Burriana beach.
Ayo's Beach Bar
Located only 5km away from the beautiful beaches of Nerja is the small village of Frigiliana (2,100 of population), which is protected by the mountains that form the natural park "Sierra Almijara". It's location gives "the best climate of Europe" with average temperature of 25ºC in summer and 18ºC in winter.
Also remaining are the old customs like whitening the facades of the houses every few months and garnishing them with flowers of all sorts.
For those who wish to see the beauty of Andalucia at its most glorious, a visit to Frigiliana is essential. In summary, for the beauty of it's landscapes, it's climate, it's gastronomy and many other reasons, you must discover Frigiliana.
