Photography Tour in Nerja
The best photos of Nerja aren't always at the obvious landmarks. Sure, Balcon de Europa will fill your camera roll, but the real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, and the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot. Seek out Rio Chillar walk for the kind of shot that no one else is posting.
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.
