CELL POINT - INTERNET
by LoriPori
We found a new and better place to have internet access at CELL POINT. It was about a ten minute walk from our apartment. We used it a few times. It was always clean and smoking was not allowed which was very nice. It cost 2 Euros an hour - minimum 50 cents and you only paid for what you used.
They also offered scanner/fax, fotocopies, calling cards, phones for international calling.

"CUEVA DE NERJA" -- NERJA CAVES
by LoriPori
Wednesday, March21, 2001
While in Nerja, a must see acitivity is to visit the CUEVA DE NERJA the Nerja Caves, a 3000 years old cave with colossal Stalactites. Hans and I thoroughly enjoyed going through the caves. At the time the entrance fee was 800 pesetas or $7.20 CDN.
Among its most outstanding features is a column of 32 metres in height made up of one billion drops of water.
Discovered in 1959, when five youngsters from Nerja and Maro stumbled upon it while on a nocturnal adventure hunting bats, Nerja Cave is considered to be one of the most beautiful in Europe.
There is a total of 4,283 metres of caves, of which only a third are open to the public. For the moment, you are only allowed to enter the areas called Galerias Bajas (the lower galleries), known for their high vaulted ceilings and beautiful formations of stalactites and stalagmites
One of the most spectacular caverns is the one known as the Cataclysm, an area on which Palaeolithic cave paintings (symbols and animals) can be seen.
As it was so dark inside the caves, it was next to impossible to take any decent photos, so the accompanying picture is from a post-card.
Chicken Land
by keeweechic
Just one of the many English styled restaurants serving up hearty breakfasts and lunches including the interesting combination of curry and chips. Pretty much chips with everything. A good English breakfast comes fairly reasonable for what you get – toast, eggs, sausages, bacon, fried tomato and beans.
Walk the Beachside Promenade (Paseo Maritimo)
by hquittner
Offseason, this is the main daytime activity. There are shops and eateries and the beach to look at. You may se sunbathers, sand sculpture, kite flyers and the waves splashing over the walk if the sea is rough. The Paseo stretches from Bajondillo beach (and further east) to the Benalmadena port (and possibly further). We only walked as far as the main part of Montelimar where we lunched and then walked back (for us a long walk).There is a rocky promontory that separates the Bajondillo part from Carihuela (the ex-fishing village). The waves were worst at this point.
Water Fun
by keeweechic
On part of the stretch of beach spanning this area you will find parked on the beach a variety of fun boats like Pedaloes and sea canoes. Some have their own water slides. If these do not appeal then there is always paragliding, wind surfing, water skiing or paragliding on offer.
