Nerja is a place that captures the heart of everyone who visits — a corner of the Costa del Sol where the Mediterranean reveals its purest and brightest form. Walking through its white, flower-filled streets is to step into the very essence of Andalusia, as the sound of the sea accompanies every step. All of this is wrapped in a privileged climate that invites you to enjoy the outdoors all year round.
Beyond its coastal and urban charm, Nerja is surrounded by stunning natural areas such as the Tejeda, Almijara and Alhama Natural Park and the Maro–Cerro Gordo Cliffs Natural Area. Both are perfect for sustainable outdoor activities like hiking, cycling, or diving, offering unique experiences in direct contact with nature.
The famous Balcón de Europa offers an unforgettable panorama — a viewpoint suspended above the cliffs, with endless views of the turquoise-blue sea.
Located in the very heart of Nerja’s old town, it’s the perfect place to stroll, enjoy the sea breeze, and be enveloped by the magic of a landscape that stays forever in your memory. A balcony overlooking the sea… and the purest essence of Andalusia.
Nature also reveals its greatest treasure here: the Nerja Cave — an impressive network of underground galleries with ancient formations that tell the story of both the Earth and humankind.
And for those seeking sunshine and relaxation, Nerja offers postcard-perfect coves and beaches — from lively stretches of sand to peaceful hideaways tucked between cliffs.
In Nerja, the beaches are true treasures that blend natural beauty with the purest essence of the Mediterranean. Along its coastline, you’ll find everything from hidden coves to wide stretches of golden sand where the sea takes center stage. Dive into the crystal-clear waters of the Maro–Cerro Gordo Cliffs Natural Area, a protected paradise of great scenic value that invites you to snorkel, dive, or simply surrender to the serenity of its secluded corners.
If what you seek is disconnection, Nerja also offers pristine, untouched beaches — small gems where peace and calm can be felt in every wave. Spots like Cala del Pino or Playa del Molino de Papel are perfect hideaways for those looking to escape the crowds and enjoy an authentic, almost untouched environment.
Whether strolling along Burriana Beach with its lively atmosphere and beach bars, or hiding away in a quiet cove, Nerja’s beaches offer a unique experience — where every swim and every sunset become an unforgettable memory.
