Things to do in Acapulco Playa, Spain

Nerja itself is also a much more relaxed location that many other destinations on the Costa del Sol, and has a quaint Old Town that has cobbled streets, quiet cafes and bars and many small shops, making a great area for exploring, away from the tourist crowds.

Just a short walk away from the accommodation is the Balcon de Europa (Balcony of Europe), a promenade of shops, bars, restaurants, street entertainers, historic statures and landmarks - all set in the Old Quarter of town and providing panoramic views out to the sea along its winding paths.

The Nerja Caves are one of Spain’s biggest tourist attractions, and offer a network of underground caverns to explore, with stunning geological features. Those wishing to hit the beach will be spoilt for choice, with the Blue Flag Burriana Beach regarded as one of the very best options, with golden sands and a wide range of water sports to enjoy.
