Plan your holidays
Having a vacation is one of the most precious activities we do in life. This is precious because it is not every day that you would be able to enjoy a free time far away from work. Most of the time, you are either busy going to your job or attending to your family. Primarily because of rarity of your time for it, you would really want it to be the best. Hence, we usually spend a considerate amount of money and time to plan and realize our dream vacation adventure.
Summer Holidays in Nerja Spain
You will be surprised at the number of restaurants that Nerja has to offer. The town is a tourist destination but with a population of only about 22,000 you will be pleasantly entertained with how many different restaurant the place has.
If you haven’t been to Nerja make sure you check out some of their sites and head on to any restaurant after seeing some of the sights or the other way around which ever you prefer.
The Caves of Nerja should be one of your first stops; see for yourself why it is the third most visited monument in Spain. It’s millions of years old and there are skeletons and artefacts on display of cave dwellers there. The caves are estimated to have been inhabited by humans 25,000 years ago and there are wall paintings there that have been dated as around 20,000 years ago. There are huge chambers, and concerts, ballets and a festival are also held there at different times of the year.
The Bálcon de Europa (Balcony of Europe), which was once a 9th century Moorish castle, then became a fort area in the 16th century and was then destroyed by the British navy in 1812 to prevent it from falling into the hands of the French. From this storied location you can have a great view of the Mediterranean Sea. There is also the 17th century El Salvador Church with its Moorish influenced design nearby.
Of course the 13 kilometres of Nerja beaches must also be experienced. Choose from a number of beaches just within reach from the town including the award winning Burriana beach on the west side of town. Other water activities include fishing, jet skiing, snorkelling, and scuba driving. There is also camping in the mountains slopes and 4x4 jeep safaris.
