An open air market is held every Tuesday in the Prol. Antonio Million streets area and is worthy of a look for presents to take home or just for a wander round. Clothes, Fresh Fruit & Vegetables, Garden items, Furniture. It's all here at reasonable prices.
Also, on Sunday mornings, the Spanish equivalent to a car boot sale takes place. From the unconventional, useful to downright rubbish is on sale but also should not be missed. Yo may see that unmissable bargain!
Do not be misled by the lack of people at the markets in the pictures. This is early morning. They get packed later on !
Location:
To get there, head down past Big Al's and first right. That is Calle Antonio Million. Prolong Antonio Million (which basicly means an extra street that they have decided to call the same name ! ) is further over. You will know that you are on the right street when you see a Delicatessen Bar called Pie in the Sky.
Note:
There are moves afoot to relocate both markets to an area near to El Zoco (called Almijara II) which is uphill at the North East side of town in the near future. This is an excessively long walk from the coach stop, and the BLUE Urbano bus is the best recommended way of getting there. The Sunday market has moved first. The Tuesday one may move later on. There is still a lot of negotiation going on as the stallholders don't want to move there.
STOP PRESS

 A resident of El Burrito
Refugio by amapola66
Feeding, treating and providing refuge for their ever growing family of donkeys is an enormous commitment and they depend entirely on donations from supporters to continue and expand their vital work in Spain and the rest of Europe.
You will find the refuge situated in the beautiful village of Fuente de Piedra, Antequera. It is housed in a traditional Spanish cortijo (farm), complete with a charming olive grove and traditional buildings, has been turned into a safe haven for donkeys and mules rescued from across Europe. You can meet the residents and learn all their stories as you walk around the grounds, discovering how they are cared for. You can even adopt one at the Visitors' Centre.
This is a perfect way to discover the beauty of the Spanish interior, while enjoying a fun and interesting visit that will also help the donkeys. The nearby Flamingo Lake is famous for the fabulously coloured flamingos that flock to it.
(much of the above text & photo, is taken from the official website of the refuge, link below).
Entrance to El Refugio del Burrito is FREE.
Open daily from 11am until 7pm
To find us, take the road to Antequera from Malaga. Then follow the signs to Seville, taking the A92 motorway. Take the junction 132 to Fuente de Piedra and head into the village, turning left next to the Hotel Conde de la Laguna. Follow the track and take the second left after passing a large house on your right. We are situated at the end of this track. Leave a Comment

 Larios aquaduct at Maro by Pauldelabar
Alsina Graells coaches will take you there from Nerja's 'bus dock' (As the Spanish call it).
Strictly called the Larios aquaduct. It's amazing that a structure used for conveying WATER has the name of a Spanish GIN ! Leave a Comment

 El Acueducto del Aguila by amapola66
Some maintain that this is the most beautiful aquaduct constructed during the XIX century.
Built built to carry water to the mills of the old San Joaquín sugar factory in Maro,
the aquaduct comprises four levels of superimposed brick arcades with 38 arches and also features entrance templets on the top storey and a central templet with an inscription reading "Pura y Limpia Concepción" (Pure and Clean Conception").
You can enjoy pleasant walks with stunning views from the Tower of Maro. Leave a Comment

The village of Frigliana is an absolute must. It is approx 3km into the mountains from Nerja and the views on the way up are breathtaking and the village itself is beautiful. they produce their own wine here (which is more like sherry) and will blow your mind...lol Leave a Comment

an ideal lunch idea if you have a car. travell west from nerja to torrox costa only about 10 mins and enjoy sardines on beachside grill at one of the many resturants along side a beautiful beach. you can park car right next to beach bars
|
Drive due north of Nerja for about 10 minutes -- into the mountains -- for a tour of the beautiful hillside town of Frigiliana. This is more what one might remember of the Mediterranean: whitewashed buildings, narrow walking streets, quaint stores selling locally-made crafts and delicious restaurants and wine bars. After discovering this town, we spent several afternoons here, enjoying "what used to be" of the Costa Del Sol. Leave a Comment
