Top 10 attractions in Nerja
Costa del Sol
Costa del Sol is a stretch of resort coastline along the Mediterranean in Malaga Province, extending from Nerja in the east to the Manilva area in the west, spanning over 100 km. The coast gets its name from its climate, which is sunny most days of the year. Vacations here can be very slow-paced: take a walk along the seaside promenade or go for a swim during the day, and at noon, head into a beachside eatery to order a skewer of charcoal-grilled sardines—locals thread the sardines onto thin skewers and grill them over a wood fire. Many eateries even use old fishing boats filled with sand as grills right on the beach. Paired with an iced drink, this is a quintessential dining experience on this coast. In the evening, you can explore the old town of Marbella and wander through the white-walled alleys around the Plaza de los Naranjos. Golf is another highlight here, with a high density of courses along the coast.Mijas · 73.3 km from Nerja

With a coastline of approximately 150 kilometers, it enjoys a typical Mediterranean climate with over 300 sunny days a year.

It is so beautiful here. The weather in Northern Europe is very cold, but here the sun is shining brightly with no clouds in the sky. The temperature is 22 degrees. The sea and sky are as clean as if they were washed. From the balcony of Europe, you can see Africa.

Beautiful place, rich with history and an abundance of instagrammable shots for the social media moguls. I would advise booking tickets in advance as they sell out and make sure you include the Nasrid palace to it and immerse yourself in the history of these wonderful moorish buildings.
