Embedded in the foothills of the picturesque Sierra Almijara dramatic mountain range, on the eastern tip of Malaga's Costa del Sol, in Spain, Nerja is on the seashore, some 50 kilometres from Malaga on the N340 coastal highway. Waterskiing, scuba diving, sailing and more waterborne diversions are easy to find and hard to forget once you’ve tried them. The area boasts 16 kilometres of beaches with powder-fine sand and clear water.
