Nerja is a seaside town on the eastern part of the Costa del Sol, the stretch between Malaga and Granada province's Costa Tropical. This part of the coast is less developed than the Marbella area, and Nerja itself is still relatively unspoiled. It has a famous viewing platform, the tree-lined Balcon de Europa, looking out over the Mediterranean, and some renowned fiestas.
Andalucia is a top destination for many nationalities seeking a relaxed pace of life in the sun.

The Christmas season in Andalucia starts much later than those from northern Europe and North America might expect.

Granada is one of the last towns in Spain where you still get a free tapa with every glass of wine or beer.

Sendero Frigiliana to Fuente del Esparto - This 5.5km-long linear walk is relatively easy and takes about two hours. It starts in the village of Frigiliana. Look for the Guardia Civil building; to the right-hand side of this is the beginning of the sendero (path). It goes down to the Higuerón river, which is in a steep-sided rocky ravine. The path goes past the Pozo Batán, veers off to the left and then starts to climb up the slope. This is a difficult part of the walk, because the path here is sandy which makes climbing tricky.
