Your Visit. Your Choice.

Nerja is that Spanish town that you’ve never heard of, and for good reason too. It’s a hidden gem which is yet to be overdeveloped or overpopulated with swathes of tourists.

Yes it’s busy, and negotiating those narrow cobbled streets can sometimes feel like Piccadilly Circus, but it has a quiet charm which gives it a relaxed vibe whenever you choose to visit.

During the day you can soak up the sun on one of 12 beaches or by the pool with your Sangria. Or if shopping and local sightseeing is your thing then there’s plenty of options here too. We like to round off the day at a bustling tapas bar, but there is plenty of choice available from British grub to fine European cuisine. The choice really is yours.

Whatever type of Nerja holiday you want, we’ve got all the information you need to plan your visit.
