The Area

Nerja is built on a cliff at the foothills of the Sierra Almijara mountains and has a shoreline dotted with rocky coves and sandy beaches.  The narrow cobbled streets and old whitewashed houses lead to the Balcon de Europa with wonderful views of the coast.  The Caves of Nerja boast the largest single cavern in Europe and paintings dating back 20,000 years.  Concerts are held in the caves during the Festival de la Cueva de Nerja in July.
