Positioned at the eastern tip of the Costa del Sol, Nerja boasts nearly 10 miles of powdery beaches, making it a popular destination for beachgoers and watersports. However, its historic town center still feels like a village. The Balcon de Europa is the natural focus of the town and the venue for fiestas. Built on a rocky outcrop, jutting into the sea, it offers spectacular panoramic views of the whole coast. Discover the Nerja caves which are home to the world’s largest column and the world’s oldest Neanderthal cave paintings. The recent discovery of Roman pottery, Moorish coins, and the presence of an unusual biodiversity have all confirmed that discoveries in the Nerja Caves are seemingly limitless and subject to incredible global speculation.
