About the area
A majority of people arriving at the ‘gateway to the Costa del Sol’, Malaga airport, head West towards Marbella, but if you travel an hour to the East up the A7, you arrive at Nerja. The beaches here are arguable just as stunning and while there are a few less tourists and a little less glitz and glam, this town has a beautifully traditional charm with its coddles streets filled with authentic tapas bars, restaurants and coffee shops.
Surrounding Nerja are a few more great locations, like the tourist town of Torrox Costa with its brilliant promenade, and Almunecar, popular with Spanish tourists and renowned for its fabulous food.
