The beautiful and unspoilt resort of Nerja lies approximately 35 miles east of Malaga, just under an hour's drive. Sheltered by the majestic Sierra Nevada mountains on one side and the Sierra Almijara on the other, Nerja boasts one of the best all year round climates in Europe with tropical plants and flowers forever in bloom.

Nerja town is small and intimate and not over developed, with narrow winding streets and courtyards lined with typical white Andalucian houses, numerous restaurants, tapas bars, and shops catering for your every need. Visitors are made to feel welcome by the ever smiling and friendly locals. From the centre of town the Balcon de Europa juts out to sea from a beautiful palm tree lined plaza, dotted with pavement cafes in the centre of town, and offers beautiful views out to sea and along the coast.

Nerja`s numerous beaches lie the length of the town and can be reached from various points, but perhaps one of the most picturesque ways is by taking the steps down near the Balcon de Europe, where a roped off path takes you through a grotto of gigantic rocks and tropical plants, allowing access to different small coves and beaches along the way, eventually ending up at Burriana Beach, a wide expanse of golden sands which is lined with restaurants specialising in fish dishes and paella.

For clients who have oganised car hire from us, Nerja is an excellent base from which to explore other nearby towns and villages. The picturesque little mountain villages of Frigiliana and Competa are both just 30 to 40 minutes drive away, with their narrow winding streets forever climbing upwards, village squares with open air cafes, beautiful churches and views over the mountains and rooftops to the sea and beyond. Another hour's drive further inland takes you to the fabulous old Moorish town of Granada, which we are sure needs no introduction.

Back down to the coast and just 10 minutes from Nerja lies the completely unspoilt little seaside town of Maro, with its superb restaurants and quiet beaches. Almost opposite Maro are the famous Caves of Nerja which date back to the Palaeolithic Age and are now rated among the biggest and best in Europe. In the same direction, we also have La Heradura and the lovely town of Almunecar.

Along the coast to the West are numerous other small towns and coastal resorts such as Torre del Mar, famous for its vast beaches, marisquerias and chiringuitos (small fish restaurants on the beach). Torrox and Algarrobo, both with their old villages, whitewashed houses and narrow streets as well as their more modern coastal resorts.   Each town and every village have their own individuality, all with an authentic touch of Real Spain.
