Spain Andalusia Nerja

Nerja is a municipality on the Costa del Sol in the province of Malaga in the autonomous community of Andalusia in southern Spain. Nerja has a long history, evidenced by the primitive paintings found in its famous Nerja caves, discovered in 1959. The town is situated on a fairly steep hill. It has several small beaches set in coves beneath cliffs. It is also becoming a significant center for walkers, thanks to the mountain scenery of the nearby Sierra de Almijara and Sierra Tejeda. The Sierra de Burno overlooks the town. Nerja is also the center of scuba diving on the Costa del Sol, with the Natural Park of Maro - Cerro Gordo nearby.
