Nerja Travel Guide, Nerja, Spain (B)

Nerja is a gorgeous town on the Costa del Sol, near Málaga in Spain, known for its expansive caves and its beautiful setting on the Mediterranean sea. Unsurprisingly the main industry in Nerja is tourism, supported primarily by the English; who love it so much they now make up to 25% of the local population.

We were there because it looked like a good opportunity to break up our trip from Granada to Málaga, spend a night in a hotel and a day relaxing on a nice beach. It was and we did.

From Granada we arranged a rideshare using BlaBlaCar. Our journey took 1.5 hours, cost €6.25 each and we were dropped within five minutes walk to our hotel.

The other option from Granada to Nerja is bus. ALSA run multiple buses daily that take between two and three hours, tickets start from €9.33 each.

Málaga is the closest major city 50km away, but all that really means is a shorter bus ride as Nerja doesn’t have a train station. The Málaga to Nerja bus takes one hour and costs €4.52 each. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
