Self Catering:
All our propertes are very well equipped for self-catering.
All have a full-size oven, four-plate ceramic hob, full-height
fridge-freezer (with a second fridge in Alamar), extractor,
microwave, toaster, electric kettle, traditional teapot, cafetiere,
plus complete sets of saucepans and frying pans. In addition,
there are casserole dishes, various mixing and serving bowls,
plus a wide variety of utensils. All have ample crockery, cutlery
and glasses, which saves having to ensure the washing up is
done before the next meal or snack. This is especially useful
in the apartments, where we did not have room to install dishwashers,
which we do have in the villas. The villas have brick built
bar-b-q's on their terraces, unfortunately 'Community' rules
preclude us doing the same with the apartments. If you need
any item (within reason) for cooking purposes, just ask Karen,
our Agent, who will endeavour to purchase the item, at no cost
to yourselves, providing it remains on our inventory when you
depart. To get you started, we include in the rental a small
'welcome pack' of bread, butter (or similar), milk, fruit juice,
bottled water, wine, beer and toilet rolls. Other items can
be supplied by special request. Previous guests have often left
tea, coffee, sugar, spices, herbs, oils, vinegars and other
condiments. Our properties are thoroughly cleaned between bookings
and we have an emergency maintenance man on-call, in the event
of any problems.
Nerja
Supermarkets: There is a small supermarket down on
Burriana Beach, open seven days a week, until midnight in the
summer and 10pm in the winter. It manages to stock a wide selection
of items within its limited space, including UK
newspapers from the morning on the day
of issue. However it is a bit more expensive than 'Supersol',
which is located on the old N340 main road at the top of the
hill, almost opposite the Nerja Club Hotel. There is another
'Supersol' plus other supermarkets dotted around the town, though
not altogether ideal for walking to our properties. There is
also a new 'Lidl', conveniently situated on the road between
Nerja and the motorway. 'Iranzo', on the main road roundabout
junction leading down the hill to the 'Parador' hotel, stocks
a wide variety of British products, plus a big selection of
wines and spirits at generally the best prices in town.
Street
Markets: Nerja's
'Tuesday Market', located north of the old main
road in the Almijara area, is a useful place to buy all
sorts of items, often cheaper than the UK. There is also a Sunday
'flea' market in the same location. Other large market days
are in Torrox-Costa
(Monday), Algarrobo-Costa (Wednesday), Torre del Mar
(Thursday) and Almunecar (Friday), all within a half-an-hour
drive. For the full list, click

Hypermarket: About 20 minutes from Nerja, at
Velez-Malaga, there is a huge 'Eroski' hypermarket, well signposted
from the A7 motorway, where you can do a 'shop' for the whole
week, en-route from Malaga Airport. It has everything and it
is cheap, with plenty of free convenient parking.
Their petrol station offers the cheapest fuel between Malaga
and anywhere around Nerja. The 'Mall' is open until 10pm six
days a week (closed Sundays) and contains numerous other
shops, including a 'Dunnes' store, the Irish 'Marks and Spencer'.
The 'Aqua Velis' water park, the closest one to Nerja, is almost
opposite.
