City/town information
Tips on places to visit and things to do:
Nerja: A large, small town with cozy lanes, over 500 restaurants, bars and shops. Balon de Europa is a must. On the east side of Nerja is the large Burriana beach with a bunch of restaurants.
Frigiliana: The infamous moorish village just above Nerja. Check out the history by walking around the old part of the village, the one at the top. Here you can also hike a bit up above the village. Park in the middle of the town The nothern part is the old, nice part.
El Acebuchal: ’The forgotten village’, A bit challenging drive. But so worth the trip. Contine the road after Frigiliana! The restaurant has local, Spanish, organic food.
Cuevas de Nerja: A unique stalactite cave discovered in the 50’s. Easy to park. Your can walk around yourself. Takes about 1/2 if you are not a geologist etc.
Rio Chillar: Hike to the waterfalls - follow the map and park as close as you can. Bring plenty of lunch, water and energy bars etc. A fairly long hike about 4 hours to the waterfalls and back. You can turn around when it suits you.
Hike up above our apartment - a shorter activity is to ”just” hike up above our area. Past the construction site you’ll quickly get a sunning view over the sea. Aim at the satellite masts and go as far as you can.
Torrox Costa: More local, Spanish. There is a boardwalk and simpler lunch restaurants.
Sierra Nevada: Takes 1,5 hours to drive. Check the weather so it doesn’t snow etc! Then the last half hour is very steep. So choose a sunny day! Drive straight into the large car park you come to when you arrive. Then you come up in the small village and there iare ski rental everywhere and the ski pass kiosk on the town square. A bit sparse with restaurants in the slopes, but there are some.
Granada & Alhambra: - An hours drive from us. The Alhambra is a very beautiful Moorish castle with a garden and a lot of history. Granada a big, intensive city. Can be very hot in summer/cold in winter.
Malaga: Large, but cozy city. Old town is very nice. Down at the marina there is a nice with boardwalk. The Picasso Museum a beautiful museum with fine exhibitions. Center Pompidou has its only branch in Malaga. El Corte Ingles is located in the city. Fine top floor luxury food packaging and champagne bar etc.
Shopping: If you want to shop close by there is a large shopping center right near Baviera Golf. It’s called El Ingenio at Velez Malaga (not Malaga) about 10 minutes from us. Nerja has lots of shops but they are fairly ’tourist:y’. There are no big chains or brands that have established themselves in Nerja. There is a small but good sports shop behind the church.
