Province and Villages - Malaga - Nerja
Nerja Malaga
Nerja offers the tourist a refreshing change from the large modern resorts on the western Costa del Sol. This was a village before it was a resort, so it has some character, and development (more villas, fewer tower blocks) has been shaped around it. The beaches are also reasonably attractive, with a series of coves within walking distance if you want to escape the main mass of crowds. There are plenty of other great walks around Nerja, too, well documented in a locally available guide.
Nerjas chief tourist attraction, the Cuevas de Nerja, 3 km from the town, are a series of caverns, impressive in size - and home to the world's longest known stalactite at 63m -. They also contain a number of prehistoric paintings, but these are not presently on public view. Tourist information about Nerja: Town council: C/ Puerta del Mar, 2
