Nerja, a seaside town, is located 53 kilometres east of Málaga on the Costa del Sol and can be reached in about 40 minutes by car from Málaga airport or about an hour and a half by bus.

The town is built on a cliff above numerous sandy coves and lies at the foot of the impressive Sierra de Almijara mountain range. Protected by the mountains, the temperate climate makes it an ideal place to visit at any time of the year.

Fiestas, ferias, romerías, festivals and other celebrations are part of the Spanish culture and there is invariably something going on somewhere.Some of the festivals are celebrated all over Spain, such as San Isidro and Semana Santa (Easter or Holy Week), others are regional or are special events celebrated in just one town.Fiestas and Ferias in Spain are colourful events with much eating, drinking and dancing as everyone enjoys a family day.

 

Take a leisurely tour of the town the old fashioned way.

 

It’s quite a good introduction to the town and a great way to get your bearings.
