Nerja Off The Beaten Path Tips by Pauldelabar Top 5 Page for this destination

Wash the car and DOG please.

Just about all of us have seen an automatic car wash before.
However this picture is unique in my experience of a DOG wash at a local Nerja garage.
'Pet Clin' is the logo on the side of this device.

I can understand the usefulness of this device but to actually SEE one. I had to look twice!

Must see the aquaduct

This old aquaduct is to be found at Maro which is only a few miles from Nerja.

Alsina Graells coaches will take you there from Nerja's 'bus dock' (As the Spanish call it).

Strictly called the Larios aquaduct. It's amazing that a structure used for conveying WATER has the name of a Spanish GIN !

Don't miss the Market

An open air market is held every Tuesday in the Prol. Antonio Million streets area and is worthy of a look for presents to take home or just for a wander round. Clothes, Fresh Fruit & Vegetables, Garden items, Furniture. It's all here at reasonable prices.

Also, on Sunday mornings, the Spanish equivalent to a car boot sale takes place. From the unconventional, useful to downright rubbish is on sale but also should not be missed. Yo may see that unmissable bargain!

Do not be misled by the lack of people at the markets in the pictures. This is early morning. They get packed later on !

Location:
To get there, head down past Big Al's and first right. That is Calle Antonio Million. Prolong Antonio Million (which basicly means an extra street that they have decided to call the same name ! ) is further over. You will know that you are on the right street when you see a Delicatessen Bar called Pie in the Sky.

Note:
There are moves afoot to relocate both markets to an area near to El Zoco (called Almijara II) which is uphill at the North East side of town in the near future. This is an excessively long walk from the coach stop, and the BLUE Urbano bus is the best recommended way of getting there. The Sunday market has moved first. The Tuesday one may move later on. There is still a lot of negotiation going on as the stallholders don't want to move there.

STOP PRESS
