Beaches and cliff strolls
Nerja has many beaches. Some with sand, some with pebbles, small ones, bigger ones. Beaches with beds or with comfortable rocks... There are many because the coast of Nerja is formed by cliffs. A mysterious little path runs at the bottom of these (from town center to Burriana beach) and will lead you past a few of the stretches of sand that have formed between the stone walls. They are very cosy and offer some privacy in the off-season. (Also check out the dozens of stray cats that lie purring in the shades.) The bigger beach and my stationary sun-bathing spot was Playa Burriana. Many shops and restaurants and also a scuba diving school have gathered here for your convenience. Some beach names: Burriana, El Salon, Calahonda, El Chucho, El Chorillo, La Torrecilla, Carabeo, El Playazo, La Caletilla, Carabeillo.

    Las cuevas de Nerja
    The caves of Nerja are probably its most famous attraction and a few kilometers away from the town center. In the mountains surrounding Nerja, these caves have developped in the past millions of years. A visit to all the Halls that are open to the public will take around 45 minutes. That's about the time you need to walk between the stalactites and stalacmites of these karstic cavaties. Only one third of the total cave system is open for touristic visits. The total volume of the Caves of Nerja is however much larger: 264,379.33 m3. Some 25,000 years ago the caves were even inhabited...

    Puente del Aguila
    This 14th century aqueduct was constructed to be a passageway for the water that was needed in the mills of the old sugar factory San Joaquín de Maro. You will pass it by when you're driving on the road from Nerja to Almeria, just outside of town on your left side. It's beautifully intact and has 38 arches on 4 storeys.

    You Can't Miss The Ocean
    When in Nerja you can't possible miss the ocean. If you do you've done something wrong as the town is right along the ocean. There are many beautiful beaches in Nerja although the water seems to be a bit colder than what you will find on the Costa Blanca (up north). None the less the beaches and the views of the ocean from various spots in Nerja can't be missed.

    Balcon de Europa
    Where the Balcony of Europe is now, there once was a 9th century castle. This has all vanished, because the allied destroyed the castle so that the French could not use it during that war of Independence. In 1487 the historical town center of Nerja was built in the surroundings of this viewing point, which sticks out from the cliffs and harbours a restaurant at this moment. When the weather is ideal and your eyes are like the ones of a hawk, you can see North Africa at a very clear day from this point.

    sight seeing
    have a look, its best at night where the real colours emerge from the darkness and all the vampires come out to play. You can spot them coz of their long pointy teeth and lust for blood. Also the bats, swirling and swooping on the unsuspecting masses, it's just so like that village in Van Helsing and all the girls look like dem sexy vampires as well. Oh yes and the caves are real good, well worth a visit, and its a nice walk.
