Very close to Nerja.
Nerja, Southern Spain: Nerja is on the seashore some 50 kilometres from Malaga, and marks the eastern tip of Spain's Costa del Sol. Once a sleepy village, the town now has a population of over 12,000. Nerja boasts 16 kilometres of beaches with a powdery sand and sparkling clear water. All major water sports are available here, including water skiing, scuba diving + sailing.
Flanked by a dramatic mountain range, Sierra Almijara, to the east, the town has, fortunately, managed to avoid being blighted by the concrete high-rise scenario which has been the inevitable result of the tourist boom in some of the other coastal resorts of Spain. The old quarter of the town is still virtually unchanged. The heart of Nerja is it's spectacular Balcon de Europa (The balcony of Europe), a magnificent promenade along the edge of a towering cliff, with sweeping panoramic views of the Mediterranean and the small coves and beaches below. There are plenty of restaurants and cafe.
