About Nerja
Nerja is a tourist friendly town on the Costa del Sol in the province of Málaga, which lies in Andalusia, on the country's southern, Mediterranean coast. It lies about 50 km east of the city of Málaga, and is within 45 minutes drive of the Alhambra in the city of Granada, and 30 minutes more to skiing in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Nerja has many beaches set in charming coves beneath cliffs and the best climate in Europe. It is also becoming a significant centre for walkers, thanks to the dramatic mountain scenery of the nearby Sierra de Almijara and Sierra Tejeda. The mountains overlook the town and provide an imposing challenge to climbers. Those who are willing to test their mountain skills to the full will find the southern route up this mountain especially rewarding. Nerja is also the centre of scuba diving on the Costa del sol, with the Natural Park of Maro - Cerro Gordo nearby. On the famous Burriana Beach which is one of few EU-classified blue flag beaches, you will find several opportunities for water sports. Burriana Beach also has its own webcam for checking todays weather, beach conditions and parking.
