Nerja is the largest resort on the eastern Costa del Sol and is a popular holiday destination for young and old alike. It boasts of having the best climate in the entire region, having more days of sunshine than anywhere else in Europe.

The popularity has increased year on year due to cheap airfares and the completion of the freeway, which has brought trade and income to the locals.

In the Old Town, there are plenty of small shops who offer local craftworks and products of the area, including sweet wine, olive oil, honey and tropical fruits. There are plenty of excellent restaurants and bars in and around town to suit all tastes, including the local beach restaurants, famous for their daily catch of fresh fish, some with views of the Balcon de Europa, Playa El Calahonda ...Read More
