Nerja (pronounced Ner-ha) is in the province of Malaga on the easternmost coast of the province, so it is still on the Costa del Sol. It is a popular tourist town with beautiful beaches with panoramic views of the Mediterranean coastline and an endless selection of hotels, restaurants and bars. In March it was just emerging from hibernation.
The famous Balcon de Europa, a lookout that extends from the town out over the sea, and the Nerja caves are its main attractions. However, its plantations of avocados make it feel quite exotic.
Nerja is backed by the soaring Sierra de Tejeda mountain range whose craggy rocks and cliffs make their way down to the coastline, forming Nerja’s exquisite beaches of fine black sand, coarse grey sand, and grey and white smooth marble pebbles.
