Trips and Places to Visit:
The Nerja Caves, three miles away, are the biggest caves in Europe, with caverns full of stalagmites and stalactites.
Frigiliana and Competa, less than half an hour away, are two of the famous 'white villages of Andalucia', where traditions and lifestyles from past centuries continue regardless of the changes all round.
Granada, just over an hour by car, is one of Spain's historic cities, and has a well-preserved city centre as well as the famous Alhambra Palace and gardens.
Seville, three hours from Nerja, is one of Spain's biggest cities, with lots to see and do.
Around Nerja:
Golf courses: there is a 9-hole course in Salobreila, and a 18- hole course at Anorata; both are only thirty minutes away.
Shopping and Supermarkets: apart from the El Capistrano village supermarket, there are plenty of bigger supermarkets in the town which are well-stocked with English products.
Balcon Europa: this is the heart of the town, where locals gather in the evenings for their daily walkabout.
Markets: there is a wonderful market at the far end of the town, held every Tuesday morning, and a second-hand market at the same place on Sunday mornings.
Restaurants: as you will discover for yourselves, there are many wonderful places to eat. We can personally recommend the tapas bars, which are at the far end of town.
El Capistrano Village:
Pools: there are three main pools, plus a children's pool, close to the restaurant and cafe. There is also an indoor pool which is open during the colder months.
Tennis: Nerja tennis club is located by the entrance to El Capistrano Village.
Baby-sitting: can be arranged (at an extra cost) through my agent.
Car-hire and trips: arrangements can be made in the town or through my agent.
