 Bwana on our second balcony,
in dirty laundry! by Bwana_Brown
Shortly after we returned, the owners unlocked the doors and we stepped into a medium sized room with six or seven machines lined up along one wall. However, it appeared that they had left their dog in the room overnight because the entire floor was covered with pools of urine and numerous piles of turds. We were thinking that we would be able to do the laundry ourselves by adding the required detergents, etc. but that was not the case. They said they would have to do all the laundry and it would not be ready until the next day. Sue did not like the sound of that because she was afraid of what they might do to the 'gentle' clothing when drying them and I was not keen on having to wait around for them in the morning because we had a long drive up the coast as our trip entered its final days. Combining that with the looks of the place, we decided that we would rather continue with the clothes we were standing in! Leave a Comment

 A look back at Cómpeta as we
leave town by Bwana_Brown, 1 more photos
We finally found a street away from the worst of the bustle with a parking spot open, not far from the hotel where we decided to have lunch. It was after 1 PM by the time we finished our meal and decided to head back to the coast. As we left our parking spot I saw a sign pointing further up the hillside with words like 'circumnavigation route' on it, I guess meaning that you could skirt around the main part of Cómpeta that way. However, for some reason I decided that I wanted to go back through town again.
As we headed downhill on the twisting streets, it was not long before I was lost and the streets seemed to be getting narrower all the time. After a while I noticed that there were no other cars in sight and that old women and small children were scattering in front of us! By this stage, the downward slope was very steep and there was no way I would be able to reverse uphill around all the narrow turns I had negotiated. Things got worse as the 'street' became so narrow that I scraped a bit of paint off the rear passenger wheelwell on one of the turns. This was as scared as I became on our entire trip, with visions of coming to a set of steps for pedestrians only and no way to reverse out - in my mind I could see a helicopter rescue lift coming!
I breathed a sigh of relief as no steps appeared and we finally came around a corner where the street widened again - I could see civilization ahead! I tried to avoid narrow streets like those in any other towns after that experience! The strange thing about renting a car in Spain is that no damage check is required to be made before you first drive away in your rental. Sure enough, when I successfully returned it more than a week later I simply handed the keys over and walked away! The 2nd photo shows a rear view of our Ford Focus rental car a couple of days later after we drove down the coast to the Tarifa area. Leave a Comment

Handbag snatching seems to be the latest crime in Nerja from pairs of youths on motor bikes who will take your handbag whilst riding past a victim without stopping.
Beware when visiting the Markets as pickpockets operate there.
I advise when carrying money do NOT use a handbag.
If you are out late at night, always be aware of persons loitering or following you. nine times out of ten the situation will be completely innocent but DO be alert. Walk in groups is always a good idea anywhere late at night. Leave a Comment Phone: For Emergencys telephone 112

 Three Cliffs Welsh theme
bar. by Beach_dog
My suggestion would be to experience the local Spanish bars, you will get a friendly welcome and will often have the benefit of trying the local tapas, and experience something new.
Here was a Welsh bar, as a Welshman myself I can vouch that it is not really typical of Wales. Its called the Three Cliffs, after the well known Bay on the Gower peninsula in Wales. Leave a Comment

 CAUTION ! by Pauldelabar
There is major building work just up from the new Mercadonna supermarket. the pavement is not very wide there anyway, but now we have to contend with wooden power poles in the middle of the pavement.
So you may find that is safer and easier to walk on the other pavement. (the Guardia Civil side). Take great care crossing the road it is one of the busiest roads in Nerja.
Warning:
Neither side is really suitable for wheelchair passage. Wheelchair users would be better to use Calle Pintada if coming up from the Balcon to the top of town or bus station. Leave a Comment

 The main road by kentishgirl
Walk along the beach - Not this busy road!! Leave a Comment

Be careful of the sellers of music CDs that go round the bars and restaurants flogging cheap CDs. Sometimes the box does not contain what it's supposed to.
The only real way of checking is to play them, so if you can, see if the bar/restaurant will let you check them out on their CD player Leave a Comment

It seems around the area of Tutti Frutti Square a group of youths that can be indentified by a feather earring have caused me unease a few times, they are no more than any other towns idiots, just as a warning if you spot one of them try not to antagonise them, because they will have a few friends close to hanD!
Really they just tend to prefer being left alone by foreigners, unless they are women! Nothing much to be fearful, it can just prevent any trouble before it happens if you know what to look for. Leave a Comment
