Villa Nerja is located 50km East of Malaga, on the Costa del Sol.  Nerja
is served by a new motorway, the A7, which now means it's just 45
minutes from Malaga airport.  Flights to Malaga from the UK take
around two and a half hours.

The villa is a very short walk to Burriana beach, the main beach in Nerja.
It's also close enough to the town centre to stroll along the beach in
15 to 20 minutes.  Whilst a car isn't essential in Nerja, it does allow you
to explore some of the lovely coves along the coastline, or take a trip
to the famous Alhambra palace in Granada.

The Balcon de Europa is the centre of the historic town, built in
1487, giving panoramic views of the Mediterranean.  Just off the
Balcon, you'll discover the beautiful Salvador church, which was
constructed in the 17th Century.

The old quarter possesses lots of typical small Spanish shops
offering local produce such as ceramics, olive oil, wine and
tropical fruits.  Nerja gets lively on a Tuesday, when the market
comes to town, where you'll find leather goods, ceramics and
lovely fresh fruit.

The Sierra Almijara mountain range, pictured here, serves more than just a stunning
backdrop to Nerja, it provides it with an unusually warm microclimate.   Even when there
is some cloud in the sky in Malaga, only 50 kms away, Nerja is often cloudless through the
protection provided by the mountains.
