 Our Andalusia rental car by Bwana_Brown
We hired it from Red Ribbon Car Hire Spain but picked it up from the Goldcar desk 500-km distant at the Alicante airport - at a daily rate of 18.26 Euros. However, when all the extras like insurance and diesel surcharge were added in, the total for 18 days came to 618 Euros.
Everywhere we went in Spain, we found the roads to be in excellent condition - even on small secondary roads in the Sierra Nevadas or along some 'off-the-beaten path' coastal roads. I must be a crazy driver, because the legendary Spanish drivers did not bother me at all. The biggest problem with this Group F-size car was in towns, trying to squeeze it into one of the few small parking spots that one might chance upon. It did not give us any mechanical problems during the 3240-km (~2000 miles) we drove it. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor HomeOther Contact: rental@imallbookings.com

I wrote this article before becoming a member but I must write it again as it is an important part of transportation concerning Nerja.
The Nr. 19 bus takes you from the airport to Malaga coach station. Runs every half hour. Fare €1. Takes about 15 minutes
From the coach station you book at the Alsina Graells office to Nerja. Current cost €3.60. Takes about 1.25 hours.
The time of the coach is printed on the ticket and the ultimate destination.
Warning !! You stow your own cases in the luggage section below the floor. This may also mean opening and closing the luggage compartment doors.
I recommend using these services for, although a taxi direct to Nerja sounds more appealing than having to change from bus to coach, a taxi will cost between €60 and €80.
If travelling from Nerja, there is a ticket office adjacent to the coach 'dock' of a portakabin style construction where you must buy your ticket for your journey (not on the coach). They understand English very well, but if you want to try your Spanish; Ida Solo means one way and Ida y Vuelta is out AND return. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

 Tourist train by Pauldelabar
Known by the English locals as the "Wally Trolley", it starts from down by the Balcon de Europa which is on the sea front near to the main church Iglesia El Salvador. It runs quite late too, so is not just a daytime tour.
LATEST :-
The "Walley trolley" is not allowed to make intermediate stops due to complaints from Taxi owners claiming that people are using the 'Wally Trolley' at €3 instead of their taxis at €5.
Only a circular tour will be possible. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

Malaga is the nearest Airport to get to Nerja.
Contrary to popular belief that you can smoke just about anywhere in Spain, Malaga Airport is mainly - NO SMOKING - with designated smoking areas.
If you are extremely thirsty there is a bar close to the exit (See the map photo) where you can get an alcoholic or non alcoholic drink and smoke if you wish.
Once you have gone through passport control and collected your luggage you will see the exit doors. If you are catching the 19 bus to the coach station, (and then the coach to Nerja), go through these doors and turn right. The 19 bus stop is about 30m along and the 19 runs half hourly.

 near Barcleona by Pauldelabar
Meanwhile, the Velez Malaga to Torre del Mar Tranvia is set to start operations from next year, but the local political party think that Alsina Graells (the principal bus operator) should be compensated for loss of custom due to the Tranvia to extent of ?2.5 million. The case continues. Also the ruling party thought that trains could be bought 'off the peg' rather than having to order them to be built, so delays in start of operation seem likely.
The expected optimum for the new train line from Nerja would be for a journey between Nerja and Estapona expected to take 1.5 hours, with about 30 million passengers per year by 2010. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

Nerja is 50 km from Malaga.
We were 'greeted ' by our taxi driver (associated with the apartment rental, NOT Jose in my other tip) who I have to say, was a sourly British ex-pat, who seemed oblivious to the fact that we were here for a good time and a holiday, moaned the whole journey about the price of things since the Euro and wouldn't let the Small Person open a window for fresh air. (We won't use them again!)
To Nerja by cab. 60 - 90 Euros
There is an airport bus, (around 7 Euros I think). You first have to catch a bus from the Airport to Malaga central bus station, a short ride, frequent buses. Buses to Nerja end around 8pm.
On other trips, we have found retrieving hire cars from Malaga airport is a rather hellish experience, which is why we chose this option this time.
Tip - Book direct a car hire company that come and meet you and take you right to your car, rather than use an agent or broker.
Cabs back to the airport were booked they day before, with a Spanish company local to the apartments. (I have the info somewhere, will try and dig out).
Clean cars turned up right on time and drivers were pleasant, (especially nice to my Mum, who was travelling back a day or two before us). Leave a Comment Theme: OtherPhone: Buses Nerja 95 231 82 95

The easiest and fastest route is via the N-340, which runs along the coast. The road is twisty in some parts as it winds its way inland, providing many vantage points to see the surrounding countryside. In Nerja there are signs which guides you easily to the caves.
Theres is also a direct bus from the bus station in Marbella and Malaga which goes to the caves.
The opening hours are 10:00-14:00 & 16:00-18:30. Leave a Comment

Another way to see Nerja is by Landau. This is a horse drawn carriage and can be found down at the balcon de Europa. The driver will take you anywhere you want to go or give you a circular tour of the town.
Drawback :
Not cheap. Expect to pay between €20 - €25 for the ride. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Getting around Nerja is easy by Taxi. 'In town' journeys only cost ?5 and are a good idea late at night to get safely back to your hotel, villa or apartment.
Taxis arrive much faster than in England and most bar owners will call one for you. Some may charge you for the phone call, however.
Also in the hottest part of the day, a taxi will save having to walk, especially uphill, in all that heat. Even more so if you have already been out walking all Morning / afternoon / Day. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home
