Nerja and Area
Once a sleepy fishing village, Nerja has retained its Andalucian character, particularly in the old quarter with its narrow cobble stone streets and whitewashed houses. The tradition is set to remain thanks to enforced restrictions on development of the town. In the heart of Nerja is the Balcon de Europa, a palm tree lined promenade built along the edge of a cliff and out to the sea with panoramic views of the Mediterranean. Nerjas finest and most popular beach is Burriana Beach. There are plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from, many retaining their typical Andalucian charm. There is an 18-hole golf course with two more in planning; also a tennis club that lets out courts by the hour. All major water sports are available, with the onus on scuba diving.
The Almijara Mountains are an ideal holiday location for hiking and horse riding. Nerjas most spectacular attraction is the caves. It has been named one of the most historic monuments of the world. One of the enormous natural caverns is a concert hall where many classical concerts are staged in summer. Close to the caves, four kilometres east of Nerja lies the sleepy village of Maro. It is a quiet traditional Spanish village with little entertainment but plenty of relaxation.
Nestled in the Almijara Mountains, just six kilometres north of Nerja is Frigiliana, a whitewashed Andalucian village with Moorish influences. Marbella, the city where the jet set congregate is just eighty kilometres down the southern coastal road and is the place to be if you want more excitement. Nerja is also the ideal spot to have your accommodation if you want to take a tour to Granada and see the Alhambra or even go skiing in the Sierra Nevada. It is one of the few places in Europe where you can ski in the morning and sunbathe by the pool of your villa or apartment in the afternoon.
Burriana Beach
Burriana beach is an ideal holiday base for families looking for quality accommodation, within Nerja. Nerja boasts 16 kilometres of beaches with powdery white sand and sparkling clear blue water. Flanked by a dramatic mountain range, Sierra Almijara, to the east, Nerja has managed to avoid being blighted by the concrete high-rise scenario, which has been the inevitable result of the tourist boom in some of the coastal resorts. Playa Burriana is the largest and most famous beach in the area. It is also the most commercial of all Nerja's beaches. Burriana is a wide beach composed of a mixture of fine sand and pebbles, making it easy to walk on. Palm umbrellas and sun-beds can be hired here and there are many restaurants and cafes, both on the beach and very close to it. All major water sports are available here, including water skiing, scuba diving and sailing and a scenic path winds its way through the rocks bordering the seashore and leads all the way to the centre of Nerja. The walk takes approximately 20 minutes and the views along it are second to none. The old quarter of the town is still virtually unchanged with narrow, winding streets, quaint, whitewashed houses with wrought iron terraces overflowing with colourful geraniums. We have 1 villas in Burriana Beach.
