Why choose Nerja?

The mountains of the Sierra Almijara surrounding Nerja reach the shore creating a micro-climate; the mountains protect Nerja from the cold north winds while the influence of the sea maintains milder temperatures in both summer and winter.

Nerja hasn't been overdeveloped and still retains much of the charm of the Andalusian towns while still being very welcoming to visitors. Many of the local businesses (shops, banks, restaurants, etc.) have signs, brochures and menus in Spanish, English and German.
