Self Catering:
Both our propertes are very well equipped for self-catering,
with wqshing machines and dishwashers. Each has a full-size
oven, four-plate ceramic hob, full-height fridge-freezer, extractor,
microwave, toaster, electric kettle, traditional teapot, coffee
makers, 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. There is ample crockery,
cutlery and glasses, which saves having to ensure a hand wash
or a dishwasher run is required before the next meal or snack.
The pool areas have brick built bar-b-q's on the terraces and
although charcoal is not supplied, there is usually a plentiful
supply of matches, accumulated over time. If you need anything
(within reason) for cooking purposes, just ask our agents, who
will endeavour to purchase the item, at no cost to yourselves,
providing it remains on our inventory when you depart.
Welcome Pack: 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.
Additional items can be supplied by special request. Previous
guests sometimes leave tea, coffee, sugar, spices, herbs and
other condiments.
Nerja
Supermarkets: There is a small supermarket down on
Burriana Beach. It manages to stock a wide selection of items
within its limited space. However it is
more expensive than Mercadona and Carrefour, both of which are
located on the main road at the top of the hill, near the Nerja
Club Hotel. Mercadona and Carrefour are especially convenient
for those in Villa Mimosa.
In the town centre, there is another Carrefour plus another
Mercadona, both with free parking. There
is also a large Lidl and Aldi, next door to each other, on the
road between Nerja and the motorway. The family-run Iranzo supermarket,
with convenient parking by one of the main road roundabouts,
stocks a wide variety of British products, plus a big selection
of wines and spirits, often the best prices in town.
Street
Markets: Nerja's
Tuesday market, located north of the main road
in the Almijara area, is much diminished since the pandemic,
but still worth a visit. There is also a Sunday second-hand
'flea' market in the same location. The best
market is the large Saturday market along the coast road at
Caleta de Velez (with convenient
parking for a charity donation cost of €1).
Other market days are in Torrox-Costa
(Monday), Algarrobo-Costa (Wednesday), Torre del Mar
and Frigiliana (Thursday) and Almunecar (Friday).
Hypermarket: About 20 minutes from Nerja, at
Velez-Malaga, there is a huge Eroski hypermarket, well signposted
from the A7 motorway, en-route from Malaga Airport. It has everything
and it is cheap, with plenty of free parking.
Their petrol station offers the cheapest fuel between Malaga
and anywhere around Nerja, with a further discount for self-service
card payment at the pump. The Mall, open until 10pm six
days a week (closed Sundays), contains numerous other
shops, including Dunnes. the Irish equivalent of Marks and Spencer.
The Aqua Velis water
park, the closest one to Nerja, is almost opposite.
