Nerja is a delightful family resort set against the backdrop of the striking Sierra de Almijara mountains, with over ten miles of sandy beaches in all. The 'Balcon de Europa' in the centre is a handsome promenade, lined with palm trees, that provides panoramic views of the Mediterranean. It also provides a stage for street performers, numerous cafes and restaurants and is a starting point for horse drawn trips round the town. The town has a wide variety of restaurants from the simple to the more sophisticated, including some excellent fish restaurants. Some provide entertainment in the evening, including some good flamenco performances. There are plenty of shops and a popular local market is held every Tuesday. There are also several local travel operators who provide excursions to Ronda, Seville, Cordoba, Granada, Marbella, and even Gibraltar. There is a tennis club and a large supermarket just outside the village.
