world About
Nerja:
Nerja is on the
seashore some 50 kilometres from Málaga. Once a sleepy fishing village,
the town now has a population of over 12,000. Nerja boasts 16
kilometres of beaches with powdery sand and sparkling clear water. All
major water sports are available here, including water skiing, scuba
diving and sailing. Flanked by a dramatic mountain range, Sierra
Almijara, to the east, the town has, fortunately, managed to avoid
being blighted by the concrete high-rise scenario which has been the
inevitable result of the tourist boom in some of the coastal resorts.
The old quarter of the town is still virtually unchanged with narrow,
winding streets, whitewashed houses with wrought iron terraces
overflowing with geraniums, on which a canary can sometimes be heard
singing... However, the heart of Nerja is its spectacular Balcón de
Europa, the "Balcony of Europe", a magnificent promenade along the
edge of a towering cliff, once the site of the great Moorish castle,
with sweeping panoramic views of the Mediterranean and the small coves
and beaches below, against an awesome backdrop of hazy blue mountains.
There are plenty of restaurants and cafes here to choose from, and the
visitor can hire a horse-drawn carriage to explore the most romantic
corner of the town. Websites about Nerja:
