Tips 1 - 3 of 3 Nerja General Tips

General Tips: BALCON DE EUROPA
|
Tip Rating:    |

Favorite Thing: The heart of Nerja is its spectacular BALCON DE EUROPA or Balcony of Europe, which is a magnificent promenade along the edge of a towering cliff, with sweeping panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea, the small coves and beaches below and the dramatic mountain range - Sierra Almijara.
The Balcon area was originally known as La Bateria in reference to the gun battery which existed there in a fortified tower. It was built in 1487 on the site of a 9th century Moorish Fortress.
The Promenade is lined with palm trees and benches - a real "people" place. On the afternoon we were there, we were treated to a parachutist who was trying to land at the end of the Balcon (Photo 3) . He didn't have much luck as it was quite windy that day. It was still quite fun watching him maneuver his parachute over the cliffs and through the air.

Favorite Thing: Completed in 1697 the CHURCH OF EL SALVADOR has three naves with square supports and round vaults. The exterior features a four sided bell tower built in 1724.
The interior features a contemporary mural by Francisco Hernandez Dias, which depicts the "Annunciation" set on one of Nerja's beaches.

General Tips: OLD QUARTER
|

Favorite Thing: The OLD QUARTER if Nerja is still unchanged with narrow, winding streets and whitewashed houses. As you stroll through town, you can't help but feel the excitement of this bustling town. Wonderful tapas bars, brimming with people, mostly standing room only. Wonderful shops! I had no idea Nerja was such a tourist favourite. The last time we were here ( in 2001 ) we did not even visit the town as we visited the Nerja Caves. I'm so glad Hans and I had the opportunity to come here and to top it off, we were with our very special friends. Who could ask for more!!!

Far better places to have Tapas than this place. Last time I dared enter full of English YaYas who don`t know a tapa from a Tutu. Drinking pints of Stella | traveldave Tue Mar 25, 2008 14:18 UTC
Looks like a beautiful town, situated on the cliff like that. And the cave would be great to visit--I've never been in a large cave like that before. | Dabs Sun Mar 16, 2008 00:43 UTC
I've always wanted to visit Nerja but can't ever seem to get there, thanks for the look! | Kuznetsov_Sergey Wed Mar 5, 2008 16:46 UTC
I would like to have a look at that magnificent promenade along the edge of a towering cliff! Thanks Lori for sharing! Suppose it wasn't very hot during your stay there... |
