Nerja is a delightful and unspoilt seaside town some 35 miles east of Malaga with both beaches and mountains at hand. The area is one of outstanding beauty situated in the midst of a luxurious tropical valley where Avocado trees, Chirimoya and strawberries grow in abundance. A great variety if exotic plants and flowers flourish in what is considered to be the best all year round climate in Europe, and the town of Nerja itself is bedecked with a profusion of flowers during every season of the year. 

Even in the Winter….Nerja is open! Nerja still lives! Most restaurants and bars are open, and even the beach bars open throughout the winter. It is normally clear, blue and sunny, ideal for a winter break or why not take a ‘long let’? Nerja has the best winter climate in Continental Europe.

Nerja has a better climate than the rest of the Costa Del Sol. It has a very special "micro climate" all of its own!  Further from the Straights of Gibraltar which let in the cool, damp Atlantic influences; closely sheltered within its bay and by the high mountains immediately behind it; Nerja is sunnier, drier and warmer than Malaga and Marbella to the west. It is, climatically the best!

Nerja town is predominantly Andalusian in style. Neat, clean streets lined with charming white houses whose window boxes display masses of colourful flowers, restaurants, bars, and a variety of shops catering for your every need. Nerja is a small unspoilt town which has not been over-developed and retains its charm whilst still offering all the facilities needed for today’s lifestyle.

The town is easily explored on foot and on a stroll through the narrow winding streets you will discover interesting courtyards, colourful shops and local people simply sitting in the sun and enjoying the comfortable relaxed atmosphere.

The place to promenade or sit over a cool drink in one of its pavement cafes or tapas bars is the Balcon de Europa. Stretching out into the shimmering Mediterranean towards North Africa, this splendid area paved with marble and lined with palm trees is one of the centres of activity for any one of the local festivals, or is used to just meet friends and gossip while the rest of the world strolls by.

Nerja revels in the celebration of local tradition and festivals, never losing that sense of tradition and respect for the local culture.  Annual Festivals or Fiestas include:
