Four Holiday Homes for rent in the popular Costa del Sol resort of Nerja

Nerja: A very popular resort, readily accessible from Malaga and its international airport, with motorway access to within a mile of the town centre. Nestling on the foothills of the mountains, the old town, with its narrow vehicle restricted cobbled streets, offers a more relaxed holiday from that found in the more fashionable resorts of the Costa del Sol. The most well known beach, Burriana, has again been given a special 'Q' award blue flag in 2008, one of only six in Spain. The beach front has a large choice of shops, bars and restaurants, including the locally famous ‘Ayo’s’. With other small picturesque beaches, the famous 'Balcon de Europa' promenade, numerous shops, bars and restaurants, plus its wonderful all year round climate, Nerja has something for everyone, especially families and the more mature holidaymaker. However, as there are some fairly steep footpaths and roads, it may not be suitable for those with walking or breathing difficulties. It is an all-year resort, with only the commercial centre and major supermarkets closing for National Holidays. We have a wide selection of pictures in the Nerja Gallery, plus a location map showing our properties. There is more about Nerja on the regional site, the Town's own site, or on the comprehensive Nerja based English language monthly web magazine Soltalk.

Excursions & Activities: The Nerja Caves, one of Spain's biggest tourist attractions, are well worth a visit. Discovered in 1969, an extensive network of fascinating underground caverns with the World's biggest stalactites, plus an auditorium and stage often used for music concerts and arts festivals. Nearby is Maro, a picturesque village with panoramic views across the sea and a small secluded beach, invisible from the cliff-top. For more local excursions, the mountains shelter many small attractive villages, notably Frigiliana with its restored Roman town and narrow vehicle-free cobbled streets, as well as Competa, the 'Pearl of the Axarquia'. Between the two villages is the restored 'lost' hamlet of Acebuchal, originally abandoned in 1948. Within easy driving distance is the historic city of Granada with the famous Alhambra Palace (pre-booking necessary), plus the spectacular ski area of Sierra Nevada. On the way to Granada is the old town of Salobrena, built on a steep hillside leading up to a 10th Century Moorish castle. Along the coast in the opposite directions are Malaga and the Picasso Museum, plus Marbella and Puerto Banus, all providing a great day out, as do visits to Mijas, Antequera and the El Torcal National Park. Andalucia is also home to the cities of Cordoba and Sevilla as well as the beautiful town of Ronda. The nearest golf course is 'Baviera', about 20 minutes away near Velez Malaga. The nearest water park, the largest in the Malaga area, is 'Aqua Velis', also at Velez Malaga, almost opposite the 'Eroski' hypermarket. For more action-packed sports activities, 'Adventura' along Burriana Beach, offers a wide choice.

Car Hire: There are a number of companies operating from the new airport car park or from offices just outside the airport. Nearly all have websites with on-line booking in English, or use comparison sites which will search for the best deals. Exiting Malaga Airport is somewhat chaotic at the moment, due to the building of a new terminal. Once out of the airport, there is a dual carriageway link to the A7 motorway, which passes within a mile of Nerja town centre. Malaga is about 35 miles (55 km.) from Nerja, the airport is 8 km. further on, taking about 50 minutes to drive. If you just want daily hire, the nearest firm to our properties is Lessagro Cars in 'Calle Huertos', or browse the small ads at the back of the magazines in our properties.
 

Taxis: As a service only for guests renting our properties, our Agent in Nerja can book a taxi or a minibus (most vehicles with air conditioning), to and from Malaga Airport, whereby the driver meets you just outside the 'Arrivals' exit. The approximate one-way cost is €66 for a taxi up to 4 people, €100 for a minibus up to 8 or €120 for up to 12. Fares are set by the local authority and payable to the driver in cash (€), however there is no charge for making the reservation. We can also organise guest transport from Malaga Railway Station, same cost as from the airport. Unfortunately, we are unable arrange taxis to and from Granada or Almeria. Once in Nerja, a local taxi journey will cost between €5 and €9, again, prices set by the local authority.

Buses: The service between Nerja and Malaga Bus Station (adjacent to the railway station), is approximately every hour, with a half hour service from the bus station to the airport. There is no direct link from Nerja to the airport, though any inconvenience changing buses is offset by the economical cost of the journey. Nerja does not have a visible bus station, the buses start and terminate at the lay-bys adjacent to one of the roundabouts on the old N340 in the centre of town (near the BP petrol station).

Driving: Brittany Ferries have crossings from Plymouth to Santander, whilst P&O Ferries sail from Portsmouth to Bilbao. The drive down from Northern Spain is about 600 miles. Whether or not you choose to drive to Nerja, we suggest you look at the Mapquest site just for fun!
