IN AND AROUND NERJA: Nerja, bustling by day and night all year, has all the facilities of a modern resort, charming but lively with its twisting alleyways, lined with family owned shops and an excellent variety of restaurants. Nerja has several popular beaches with lively bars and restaurants whilst other are quieter and more secluded with rock pools in which to explore marine life. The atmosphere in Nerja is that of time having stood still. Some of its streets are still cobbled and, in the surrounding countryside, you can see teams of oxen ploughing the fields. At the same time Nerja has all the facilities of a modern resort. Nerja is, of course, a paradise for water sports; swimming, sailing, windsurfing, scuba diving, water-skiing and fishing are all available. Nerja boasts many small coves between the Balcon de Europa and the very popular Burriana beach, a place in which to indulge oneself in the famous paella dish. See it being cooked over the beach fire at Ayo‘s restaurant, a favoured place to eat.
The surrounding countryside is filled with whitewashed, sleepy Andalusian villages and orchards scented with ripening oranges and lemons. Frigiliana, a 15 minutes drive from Nerja, is one of Andalusia’s most picturesque hill top villages. From here there are wonderful views over the surrounding valleys and out to the coast. The world famous Nerja caves are natural archaeological caves containing the world’s largest column. Each year it hosts the International Music Week and the Festival of Dance and Music. Inland, Lake Vinuela is well worth a trip to see this beautiful blue lagoon surrounded by the mountains. Granada and the Alhambra Palace are just over an hour’s drive away and the ski slopes of the Sierra Nevada just 20 minutes from there. Take the scenic coast road east to Marina del Este, a bustling little port and then on to Almunecar whose Friday market is very popular. West from Nerja is Torre del Mar a busy town with a vast beach and elegant promenade.
Ski:
Ski details - The massive and beautiful Sierra Nevada lines Granada’s horizon to the south and is mostly snow capped , even in summer. Wonderful skiing in the winter months around the popular Solynieve mountain resort on the slopes of the Sierra Nevada. A good road takes you to Granada and from here the Sierra Nevada is well signed. A road , which winds through an arid mountainous landscape before it climbs to an altitude of 3398m, a feat which has earned it the name of the highest road in Europe, brings you to the Pico de Veleta where you can take in the breathtaking views. Built for the 1992 Winter Olympics, this new town has a special magnetism attracting skiers and non-skiers alike.
Golf:
To the west of Nerja is Anoreta Golf, a parkland course, just 30 minutes drive. The design is a challenge to golfers of all levels. Water is a major hazard and is featured at eleven of the holes.
Baviera golf is 10 minutes away. Another course landscaped to make the maximum potential of the views of the local mountains, pinewoods and the sea and enhanced with lakes and magnificent gardens.
To the east, just half an hour's drive away, there is a 9-hole course at Salobrena.
