Nerja Walking Tour
Nerja, Spain
Why Walk Nerja
Nerja sits on the eastern Costa del Sol where the Sierra de Almijara mountains meet the Mediterranean, creating a dramatic coastline of cliffs, coves, and the Balcon de Europa — a palm-lined promenade on a rocky promontory with views stretching to North Africa on clear days. The Nerja Caves, discovered in 1959, contain some of the largest known stalactites in the world and possible Neanderthal cave art.
