The pretty Andalusian town of Nerja is located on the southernmost coast of Spain, and is one of the regions’ most attractive and popular villa holiday destinations. The narrow winding streets of the old town are typical of the Spain of yesteryear and are now home to many tapas bars, restaurants and small shops which are popular with locals and tourists alike. The narrow streets wind down to what is probably the town’s most famous landmark, the renowned Balcon de Europa, where you’ll be able to enjoy stunning  panoramic coastal views towards Africa.
