Нерха
Nerja is a whitewashed coastal town on the eastern end of the Costa del Sol, about 55 km east of Málaga, between the sea and the Sierras de Almijara. It is known for the Balcón de Europa, a clifftop promenade, a huge cave with prehistoric paintings, and small beaches in coves below the cliffs.
It is quieter and more traditional than many Costa del Sol resorts. It is a good base for a few days, with the white villages of Frigiliana and Maro, and hiking in the mountains, close by.

From the central promenade built on fortress ruins to the 1,831-meter peak of Navachica, these sites offer specific vantage points over the Maro-Cerro Gordo cliffs and the Axarquía coastline.

Безпека й здоров'я
Nerja is a safe town. In summer, the sun is strong, so use sun protection and drink water. The cliff paths can be steep, and some beaches have currents, so check the swimming flags. Inside the cave, the floor is damp and the path has steps.
Історія
The area has been inhabited since prehistoric times, and the Cave of Nerja was used by humans for tens of thousands of years. The Moors ruled the coast for centuries, and the town was captured by the Catholic Monarchs in 1487.
In 1885 an earthquake damaged the town, and King Alfonso XII visited and gave the Balcón de Europa its name. The cave was rediscovered in 1959 by local boys. Tourism developed from the 1960s.
