Nerja, some 50 kilometres east of Málaga on the N340 motorway, is perhaps the coastal jewel of the Costa del Sol, The Romans gave the settlement the name "Detunda", and it was later taken over by the Arabs.  Under the Muslims, it became "Narixa", which means "abundant spring", and this lovely title is the origin of its present name.
 Once a sleepy fishing village, the town now has a population of over 19,000 inhabitants. Nerja boasts 16 kilometres of beaches with sparkling clear water. Flanked by a dramatic mountain range to the east, Sierra Almijara, this lovely coastal town avoided the construction boom and the old quarter of the town is still virtually unchanged. The narrow winding streets and whitewashed houses with wrought iron terraces overflowing with geraniums evoke memories of a bygone tranquil world. One of the most spectacular spots in Nerja is its popular “Balcony of Europe”, “Balcon de Europa” which is a beautiful promenade along the edge of a towering cliff, once the site of a great Moorish castle. From here there are beautiful, sweeping, panoramic views of the Mediterranean and the small coves and beaches below.
There are plenty of restaurants and cafes here to choose from and the visitor can hire a horse-drawn carriage to explore the most romantic corners of the town.

The town's monuments include the 17th century Church of Salvador, built in a style showing a charming mixture of baroque and Moorish, and the beautiful Gardens of Capistrano Playa, which descend to Burriana Beach. However, Nerja's most spectacular attraction is undoubtedly its fascinating caves, located just three kilometres from the centre of town. They include archaeological treasures such as paintings over 20,000 years old and other prehistoric remains. One of the enormous natural caverns has been transformed into a concert hall, where many performances are staged during the summer. Nerja cuisine includes several specialities including De La Doncella (red mullet) and pescaito frito (fried fish) and ranging from top international cuisine to the ubiquitous sausage, eggs and chips!
