Nerja is the most important town on the Eastern Costa del Sol. This town also has one of this area's main tourist attractions - the Nerja Caves, a spectacular find that is open to the public and that hosts an annual music and dance festival within its famous caverns. At the foot of Nerja town a winding footpath joins several coves and there are some nice beaches to be found in this area.
The natural sub-tropical climate for the latitude is of hot summers, mild winters and little or no rainfall either side of the long summer season. This is further influenced by surrounding geographical features. Huge mountains to the north and east provide a barrier from cold north winds and the wide coastline maintain mild temperatures in winter.
This protected coastline runs for 12km east of Nerja to La Herradura in the Granada province. Its dramatic rocky steep cliffs plunge down to the sea, leaving a few sheltered bays with beaches in between, which can be accessed via staircases or tracks
