Feria 2014

October 3, 2014 by RentInNerja Leave a Comment

So very excited for this years Feria – it’s become quite a tradition for us here at RentIn Nerja

This years Feria will be held from Wednesday 9th – 13th October, so not long now!

This will be held in Carabeo/Parador and will mainly be in the ‘Huertos de Carabeo’ car park behind Calle Carabeo. It does stretch out of here and all along to the roundabout at the bottom of Prolong. Rodriguez Acosta (last year this was where the huge dance tent was!)

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)

Thankyou to Karin-Isabella O’Connor, Eamonn Fahey and Emmy Austin for sending in your Feria photos of years gone by!

Broken Pool: Capistrano Playa

September 18, 2014 by RentInNerja 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

Getting to Nerja by Bus

September 3, 2014 by RentInNerja Leave a Comment

Directions to Nerja by Bus and Coach

Getting there

Once you have passed through the baggage area, as you leave the
airport terminal you will see the bus stop to Malaga in front of you
Catch the bus to Malaga bus station, it is ‘Linea A’ (line A) – this costs
around €2.00 per person. There is a new bus every thirty minutes. The
journey takes twenty

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
driver may refuse travel) to Nerja from the Alsa ticket office in the main
hall. This has proved to be hard to find at times but if you look at the
information screens, it will tell you which booth to go to for the
destination of Nerja, this now costs around €6.00-€7.00 one way, per
person. Be sure to buy a return if you wish to travel back to the airport
this way – each coach gets booked in advance so you should have a
date and time

If you have luggage, feel free to place it in the under luggage hold
yourself, it’s the norm to open/close this as you please, including when
you get off
Some coaches are direct and take just one hour, some take between
an hour and an hour and a half

You will need to get off when the driver calls for Nerja. You will find
yourself at the bus stop which is outlined on this google map: http://bit.ly/1ponYOv
If you need a taxi to get to your accommodation even if it’s via the key
collection place, there are many ready and waiting at the stop

Getting back

If you wish to travel back to the airport using the coach service and
you haven’t bought a return ticket, be sure to buy your coach tickets
from the booth which is located opposite where you got off. Coaches
get booked very quickly in advance! The coaches depart from this
location too.
Once you get to Malaga bus station, see the display screen to find
which terminal ‘Linea A’ is departing from, you can go straight to this
stop and pay for your ticket once on board

About Nerja

January 28, 2014 by RentInNerja Leave a Comment

Nerja image

Nerja is the largest resort on the eastern Costa del Sol and is a popular holiday destination for young and old alike. It boasts of having the best climate in the entire region, having more days of sunshine than anywhere else in Europe. This one time fishing village, found some 45 minutes east of Malaga airport, is not only surrounded by impressive mountain scenery of the Sierra Almijara, but also has amazing views of the Mediterranean. Nerja has resisted the stereotypical Costa del Sol developments in favour of a more traditional and relaxed atmosphere in a picturesque Andalucian environment, retaining its original charm and character.

Nerja has been awarded almost every year with the “Town Caring” prize from the “Junta de Andalucía” assuring both tourists and locals that a continuous effort is made from the Town Hall to keep all the beaches clean, as well as keeping to a strict guideline for all developments ensuring all Villa’s and apartments are to within a high standard and no more than 3 storeys high. Due to this, Nerja is classed as one of the best kept secrets of the Costa del Sol, having kept its ambience and quiet enchantment feel of the old Moorish town yet has all the local amenities one would require from a city.

The popularity has increased year on year due to cheap airfares and the completion of the freeway, which has brought trade and income to the locals. During the past 6 years property has boomed, nearly doubling in value of which many investors bought to rent to holiday makers, making Nerja a hugely popular holiday location and as a result there are many excellent villas and apartments to choose from.

In the Old Town, there are plenty of small shops who offer local craftworks and products of the area, including sweet wine, olive oil, honey and tropical fruits. There are plenty of excellent restaurants and bars in and around town to suit all tastes, including the local beach restaurants, famous for their daily catch of fresh fish, some with views of the Balcon de Europa, Playa El Calahonda and El Chorrillo beaches. The winding cobbled streets lead you to something different with each corner you turn.

One of the main attractions is the Balcon De Europa (which was constructed around 1487 and named by King Alfonso XII on a visit in 1885), which offers a palm lined promenade leading to a Former 9th Century Castle, which is now a spectacular viewpoint carved out of the rocky headland above the sea. Here you can relax in one of the bars that surround the square or wander down to one of the coved beaches that lie below the headland. To the side of the Balcón, you will find the 17th Century El Salvador Church, constructed in baroque-mudejar style, where you may witness one of the many Spanish weddings that take place here over the course of the summer.

There are a number of streets to walk around, lots of stalls and various restaurants and bars to visit in the area. There is also a street market in Frigiliana every Thursday.

Above the area of Burriana Beach are the beautiful Gardens of Capistrano Playa, where you will find lush tropical gardens which descend down towards the beach.

Nerja’s most spectacular attraction is undoubtedly the Caves of Nerja (Cueves de Nerja). Discovered by five young people from Maro in 1959, it was then opened to the public in the following year. Here you will find paintings of animals and humans dating some 20,000 years old, together with pre-historic remains. The hall of Bethlehem is an amazing site with its stalagmites and stalactites, one of which is the largest on the world. The stalagmite and stalactite meet in the middle of the cave and measures an incredible 32 metres. The largest of the caverns is known as the Hall of the Waterfall, which has been transformed into a magnificent concert hall where many performances are conducted throughout the summer. Located just 3 kilometres outside of Nerja, this is a must for the holiday enthusiast.
