 Our drives around the Nerja
area by Bwana_Brown
We got lucky, because the sun came out for us on the Atlantic coast and we spent 3 days exploring there. As our trip was coming to a close, we had to get back up the Mediterranean coast, so we returned to Torremolinos for New Year's Eve. In the morning, we headed along the coast toward Nerja once more, but this time we veered off into the mountains sooner than last time, as we wanted to visit the inland gorge town of Alhama de Granada - well worth it! Not wanting to backtrack from there, we continued onward almost to Granada itself before turning straight down toward the coast again. Once there, we failed to find any available accommodations in either Lanjarón or Salobreña to the the east of Nerja. That was when we decided to head west the short distance to Nerja, where we hoped Hostal Marazul would put up with us once again. We were very relieved when they did at about 6 PM! Leave a Comment

 January 2nd at 6:30 PM,
starting to get dark by Bwana_Brown
It came in handy a few times, for checking both the weather and emails from home (not to mention VT of course!). The first time we used it was the morning after our arrival in Nerja - to check up on the now deteriorated rainy weather situation. The forecast did not look good for the next few days on any of Spain's coasts within a few hundred miles of Nerja. As a result, we made our decision to pack up and at least head for the wilder and undeveloped Atlantic coast northwest of Tarifa, since we had not yet had a chance to explore there (it turned out to be a great decision!).
This internet cafe also came in handy four nights later when we returned to Nerja near the close of our trip. We decided to just wind down and stay in town for two nights without having to think about anything - got caught up on our emails and just chilled out before leaving for one more night on the road in the fantastic 'El Cabo de Gata' area east of Almeria as we prepared to fly back to Madrid. Their rates were not too bad, about the same as all the other internet cafes we tried. Leave a Comment

 Nerja Beach by amapola66
There is a friendly little bar half way up/down for refreshment and further along, the beach restaurants of Burriana beach.
Lovely!
The climb back up (steps) is a little hard for in the heat if you are not a good walker.
Never had to hurry.
Lazy days, good food and late nights. Leave a Comment

The heart of Nerja is its spectacular BALCON DE EUROPA or Balcony of Europe, which is a magnificent promenade along the edge of a towering cliff, with sweeping panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea, the small coves and beaches below and the dramatic mountain range - Sierra Almijara.
The Balcon area was originally known as La Bateria in reference to the gun battery which existed there in a fortified tower. It was built in 1487 on the site of a 9th century Moorish Fortress.
The Promenade is lined with palm trees and benches - a real "people" place. On the afternoon we were there, we were treated to a parachutist who was trying to land at the end of the Balcon (Photo 3) . He didn't have much luck as it was quite windy that day. It was still quite fun watching him maneuver his parachute over the cliffs and through the air. Leave a Comment

 Boni. Near cemetary. by Pauldelabar
Perhaps it's the name of the bar. "Boni", or BONY, if you like. You see, it's location is close to the CEMETARY !, which means that, unwittingly, the Spanish have a sense of humour here, or so it would seem.
The bar is located on a quiet back street and probably has very little chance of being opened. At least until the train station is built at Nerja. Then, with increased number of people arriving, it may become a desireable place to open as also may the closed bar called the 'Bus Stop'.
I have a large section on the bars of Nerja on my Nightlife (Link) section.

Completed in 1697 the CHURCH OF EL SALVADOR has three naves with square supports and round vaults. The exterior features a four sided bell tower built in 1724.
The interior features a contemporary mural by Francisco Hernandez Dias, which depicts the "Annunciation" set on one of Nerja's beaches. Leave a Comment

The OLD QUARTER if Nerja is still unchanged with narrow, winding streets and whitewashed houses. As you stroll through town, you can't help but feel the excitement of this bustling town. Wonderful tapas bars, brimming with people, mostly standing room only. Wonderful shops! I had no idea Nerja was such a tourist favourite. The last time we were here ( in 2001 ) we did not even visit the town as we visited the Nerja Caves. I'm so glad Hans and I had the opportunity to come here and to top it off, we were with our very special friends. Who could ask for more!!! Leave a Comment
