Gastronomy is an essential part of Spanish character.

In Nerja there are many bars and restaurants where visitors are always welcome with a familiar treatment and local, always fresh products. Fried fish, grilled chorizo, aubergines in cane sugar and the region’s sweet wine are just some examples of Spanish people’s passion for good cookery.

Even closer, just ten minutes away by bus, we can visit Frigiliana, a small village of outstanding beauty and typical Andalusian architecture, in which white colour covers all the houses’ walls. This village is also a meeting point of the three old different cultures -Christians, Arabs and Jews- that, in the past, coexisted around here. Their artistic and architectural marks can still be seen in the village’s streets.

Natural pathways make the visitor’s leisure possibilities even wider. Nerja is the starting point of a large number of hiking pathways where we can enjoy nature in its most pure state, going through the mountains (Sierra de Almijara) located around the Andalusian town.
