The Costa del Sol region


Nerja is on the seashore some 50 kilometres from Málaga on the N340 coastal highway, and marks the eastern tip of Málaga's Costa del Sol. Once a sleepy fishing village, the town now has a population of over 12,000.
Nerja boasts 16 kilometres of beaches with powdery sand and sparkling clear water. All major water sports are available here, including water skiing, scuba diving and sailing.
However, the heart of Nerja is its spectacular Balcón de Europa, the "Balcony of Europe", a magnificent promenade along the edge of a towering cliff, once the site of the great Moorish castle, with sweeping panoramic views of the Mediterranean and the small coves and beaches below, against an awesome backdrop of hazy blue mountains.
There are plenty of restaurants and cafes here to choose from, and the visitor can hire a horse-drawn carriage to explore the most romantic corner of the town.
The Nerja / Punta Lara area
Nerja town itself is only 1km away - a 5min drive or a 25min stroll along the beach with stunning mountain views. In Nerja you have the Cuevas de Nerja (Nerja Caves) with their amazing limestone formations and the local donkey sanctuary - a great day out for the kids where they can see the animals and help feed and groom them!
There are several villages inland worth exploring, Frigiliana is 3km away, a stunning whitewashed village with cobbled streets and cafes.
Competa is about 15km away up a windy hilly road - again, a lovely whitewashed village famous for its wine and raisins where you can roam around the little streets, check out the church and enjoy a drink in the main square.
Ronda is about an hour's drive away (north of Malaga) and has spectacular views due to the gorge there.
For the shoppers there is a large shopping centre at Velez Malaga (15mins drive towards Malaga) and Malaga itself is only 45 mins drive.
Driving up to Granada there are some lovely little villages to stop at, Lanjaron (where the mineral water comes from) and Orgiva.
The stunning Alhambra palace is about 1.5 hours drive - well worth seeing but get there early or reserve tickets online before going.
Granada city is lovely - very spanish, little old streets, friendly traditional tapas bars and lots of shops!
You can also ski at the Sierra Nevada resort - about 1.5-2hours drive - up until the end of April.
Golf is available at the nearby Baviera course (15mins drive)

My partner and I decided to try an apartment this time and after a lengthy search on line we found this one. The apartment is nice and clean and fully equiped and ready to go. The location is ideal with only a short walk to the beach and a 5 minute bus ride into town. Its in a quite picturesque location in a hill side town, Andy's bar is only a 3 minute walk away if you don't fancy a trip into town. We would definately stay there again. |

Had a great stay in one of the best appartments we ever rented and we,ve rented many! Beautiful, well equiped kitchen, two great bathrooms/bedrooms, lovely veranda with great view, little swimmingpool outside with sunbeds and parasols, just everything you could wish for and more! |

My girlfriend and I stayed at El Olivar for a week and loved it - the bed is huge and comfortable, the sea view from the chillin' balcony is very pretty, and it's easy to get into the centre of the beautiful old town of Nerja to eat barbecued paella on the beach or explore the "tapas trail" at night. The owners were very helpful and everything was shipshape from start to finish. We plan to go again for another lazy getaway as soon as possible! |
Guestbook for El Olivar
"The apartment is better than we had dared to hope for! We will certainly be recommending it to friends"
"Excellent apartment, like home from home. Would not hesitate in recommending to anybody"
"Brilliant holiday! Apt has everything needed for a self catering holiday; very close to beach, good restaurants and bars within walking distance"
"Ten relaxing weeks here in your lovely spacious apartment. Well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds! We sat in glorious sunshine (most of the time) on the balcony with a little exercise of walking to and from Nerja"
"Apartment excellent enjoyed our stay here. Hope to visit Nerja again, a beautiful Spanish town"
"Apartment is lovely and provided all our needs. Walked into Nerja on the beach quite a lot and the bars are good. Have no problem in recommending El Olivar to other friends"
"First visit to Nerja & we love it! We had everything to hand; pool, beach, shops, restaurants and bars. The apartment cannot be faulted. Brilliant time had by all"
"Initially we thought it was too far out of town, but within a day we realised it was ideal and the beach
was much quieter than those in town. Your neighbours were very nice what we saw of them and the plunge pool was nice after a hot walk!"
"Wow! This is lovely. Best apartment we have ever stayed in by far"
"Lovely!! Very clean and spacious"
"The kitchen was extremely well equipped - although we did not do any cooking as such, we used the microwave and hob. Having some sky channels was fantastic especially for the kids in the
morning. The decor and furniture were great - beds really comfortable and it was great to have large bath towels (not the tiny ones that are usually supplied)"
"We loved having the option of BBQing on the terrace of an evening rather than going out - fantastic views of the sunset!"
