Historic Nerja

Historic Nerja

Along my journeys, I have come across many historic sights in Nerja! Here I add them as I find them – so do please enjoy! And if you’re able to go and find these treats, I urge you to do so

Chanquete’s Boat

One of Nerja’s iconic views. The boat featured in Antonio Mercer’s television series: ‘Verano Azul’ (Blue Summer) which was filmed in Nerja! The boat ‘La Dorada I’ was the home of the old sea dog Chanquete. Go see it in person if you haven’t already! It’s in the Verano Azul Park and pays homage to the cast and crew who took part in creating a wonderful story and capturing the charm and charisma of Nerja

 

La Torrecilla

Meaning ‘The Little Tower’ in English, the ruins of this tower are located on the headland of Torrecilla between Playa La Torrecilla and Playa El Playazo (it’s like a mini Balcon!). It’s probable that this location was first used in connection with the coastal watch line designed by the nazaries, however the remains correspond to a later building, constructed in the 17th century to front the raids of the berberiscues pirates! (Arrrgh!)

During the war of Interdependency, it was blown up by the English, then allies to Spain to stop it being used by the French Army

‘The San Miguel Factory’
Mr Miguel Gonzales Sanchez ordered the building of this sugar factory, also known as ‘Ingenious Nuevo’ (‘The New Mill’) on land purchased from the Larios family, but due to his early death in 1869, the business fell to the handle of his creditors and after due judicial process, the property and building again fell back into the Larios family’s hands.

Balcon de Europa

by Leave a Comment

We dedicate this blog to one of the most beautiful viewing points in all of Europe. None other than the ‘Balcon de Europa’ situated in the nerve centre of Nerja! This is a favourite site for visitors and local people – it definitely took my breath away when I first saw it, and that was at night time!

The beautiful, palm tree lined promenade walks you out towards the Mediterranean whilst passing white-washed Andalucian arches on one side with bars and restaurants opposite

The very end/viewing point is a large, semi-circular ‘Balcony’ with panoramic sea views and mountains. Being here during sunset will be truly unforgettable, not only the views – but the atmosphere and general energy bouncing amongst many, all enjoying the moment

History of the Balcon de Eurpa

A popular photo opportunity amongst so many, are the two cannons located either side of the viewpoint. These are historical reminders of the fortress that used to sit upon the cliffs until 1812.

Pictured, is King Alfonso XII – very popular amongst the tourists. After all – why wouldn’t you have your picture taken while on the famous pier, with an incredible scene behind you and the King acting as your selfie partner?! You’d be mad not to…

King Alfonso XII was King of Spain, reigning from 1874 to 1885 who visited Nerja on the 12th January 1885 and gave the name of the Balcon de Europa – well did you know that?! The sculpture was erected in February 2003 by F. Martin. Later that year, the King died and left his unborn son to reign a year later

So if you’re making plans to visit Nerja soon – this is an obvious and unmissable attraction, make the most of it, enjoy and take lots of pictures!

If you’re not planning to visit Nerja soon, then DO!

Nerja for Beginners

by Leave a Comment

A good and sunny afternoon to you all! If you are reading this having been to Nerja, you’ll be a complete ‘know-it-all’ however if you’re contemplating a visit, here are some simple facts about Nerja!

Nerja itself, is located in the easternmost part of the Malaga province. The closest towns are Torrox and Frigiliana which both border Nerja. You will find the quiet Punta Lara located between Torrox and west Nerja. You can then find Competa to the north while Granada (Almunecar) lies east.

Nerja welcomes the beautiful Mediterranean onto it’s nine beaches (and it’s climate!). The beaches come is all variates, small, medium, large, remote or central. Nerja also hosts the Playa Burriana which is a ‘Blue Flag’ beach meaning many water sports and beach activities inclusive of paragliding and volley-ball

Unlike other holiday resorts along the Costa del Sol, Nerja fascinates with it’s coastline. The mountains (last foothills of the Sierra Almijara) reach the shore. forming majestic cliffs amongst which nestle picturesque coves and beaches.

We advise Torrecilla – Balcon (west to central) for those who wish to stay in a flatter area, no big hills!

If you don’t mind the hills and admire the elevated views, Carabeo – Burriana (central – west) is for you – just incredible views!

Restaurants and bars are easy to come across, a beach-lovers favourite would be one of the may ‘Chiringuitos’ which are the beach-side restaurants specialising in seafood (local may I add!)

The main route to Nerja is the A-7 which runs from Malaga, just 52km away (about a 45 minute drive)

The local authorities have imposed a number of planning restrictions in order to protect the natural heritage from the impact of mass tourism. This keeps Nerja quaint and beautiful. In terms of local buildings and amenities, maximum respect for environmental and Andalusian conditions is adhered to, you will find yourself wandering along pretty streets with whitewashed houses

The pleasant climate, the beauty of the coastline and such tourist attractions as the Nerja Caves combine with the friendliness and hospitality of the local people and the excellent facilities to provide visitors with all the comfort and entertainment they could wish. You can really tailor Nerja to suit YOU – so… what are you waiting for?

Q: What can I expect from this years Feria?

A: Expect live music, bands and entertainment. Many bars and yummy food stalls (we recommend the jacket potato stall – never have I had such a delicious hot potato, traditionally cooked in an outdoor stove!) There will also be many funfair rides for all ages. Don’t forget the fireworks on the first night!

During the day there will be many types of entertainment dotted around Nerja, dancers and music – mainly around Calle Antonio Millon

Look out for the procession taking place around the El Salvador church on the Balcon

Q: Will the Tutti Frutti Plaza be hosting any Feria fun?

A: We’re not 100% sure but they usually do! So if you’re staying on the Torrecilla side of the Balcon – do pop up during the day and night to the Plaza to see what’s happening – Calle Jean

Q: When is the parade?

A: Normally at midday or just after on the Saturday! Get dressed up and go and celebrate with the rest of the town – remember to take lots of photos (send them to us – facebook.com/ilovenerja)

Broken Pool: Capistrano Playa

by Leave a Comment

After a very busy summer on Capistrano Playa during which the pools have been used more than ever and the pumps and installations had to work at their highest capacity for weeks, we had to find that there is dangerous damage to one of the pool pump pipes as well as the chemical injectors of both big pools which are now broken after 20 years of use. They need to be fixed immediately for which it is not possible to keep the two big pools open to the public. We have to close the pools as per TODAY. Both pools must be emptied and the damaged parts repaired. We are aware of the fact that this is very inconvenient for owners, especially those who have rental commitments, but we could not guarantee the security for the users. It won’t be possible to open the pools again this season as the works to be done will take up at least 3 weeks. We apologize for the inconvenience and kindly ask you all to inform your guests and rental agents accordingly.

The staff will prepare a sunbathing area at the children’s splash pool and keep the splash pool open until End of October, so that owners and visitors can enjoy the sun and children can still have fun

Once you have passed through the baggage area, as you leave the

Catch the bus to Malaga bus station, it is ‘Linea A’ (line A) – this costs

One you get to Malaga bus station you will need the coach to Nerja

You must buy your ticket from Malaga bus station (not on the bus! The
