Nerja Spain Beautiful Town Update Early Summer 2022 Costa del Sol | Axarquía | Málaga [4K]

Nerja is situated at the eastern tip of the Costa del Sol, in the province of Malaga, 50 kilometres from the city of Malaga and within an hour and a half’s drive from Granada and the ski resort of the Sierra Nevada.

Sheltered by the impressive Sierra Almijara mountain range, Sierra Almijara, this once sleepy fishing village is now one of the most popular tourist resorts along the coast, with a population of over 12,000. The town has resisted too much re-development and high rise apartment blocks, preferring to stay a charming seaside town, attracting the more discerning holidaymaker; the town is often referred to as the ‘’Jewel of the Costa del Sol’.

One of the town’s most impressive attractions is the Balcón de Europa (the Balcony of Europe), a wonderful promenade, stretching along the edge of a soaring cliff top, which was once the location of a Moorish castle. The platform has spectacular panoramic views of the Mediterranean coastline, with its backdrop of mountains.

The deep Andalusian culture that the town exudes, perfect climate and cosmopolitan atmosphere, has made Nerja one of the most attractive holiday hotspots on the Costa del Sol.

The old quarter of the town is still virtually unchanged with narrow, winding streets, whitewashed houses with wrought iron terraces overflowing with geraniums, on which a canary can sometimes be heard singing.

Visitors can hire a horse-drawn carriage and explore the town’s most interesting streets and attractions. When in Nerja visits to the 17th Century Church of El Salvador and the Gardens of Capistrano Playa are essential.

There are plenty of restaurants and cafes here to choose from, and lots of lovely plazas (squares) where you can sit and watch the world pass by.

As with most of Spain, Tapas is an integral part of the local cuisine, and there are lots of great tapas bars in and around Nerja; order a drink and you will often receive a few tapa. does have its own speciality dishes including De La Doncella (Red Mullet dish) and Pescaito Frito (platter of fried fish). There are a wide variety of different cuisines on offer in Nerja; you will be spoilt for choice.

Torremolinos Spain Early Evening Town Update November 2021 Costa del Sol | Málaga [4K]

Torremolinos is a product of the tourist boom of the 1960’s in which turned this small fishing village into a large, densely-populated town devoted wholly to sun and sand tourism, showcasing large beaches and lots of related facilities and services; it is also home to a Congress Center which has played host to important international conventions on various occasions.

The famous Pimentel Tower is the town’s most noteworthy monument and icon, although some traces of the past are still seen around the Bajondillo and La Carihuela districts.

The origins and name derive form a watchtower (torre) and the mills (molinos) built there to grind wheat, positioned perpendicularly to the ocean in order to harness the hydraulic power generated by the water flowing into it.

The coast was then subsequently fortified with castles and defensive towers. One of the most importants defensive constructions was St. Clare’s Castle which was built in the second half of the 18th century on the site of the old fort. The castle since then has disappeared, and in its place a hotel complex was built.

From the year 1813 onwards, it was an independent municipality, and it returned to the city of Malaga in 1924.

In the second half of the 20th century, a new stimulus came which changed the whole look of Torremolinos and the population’s economic activities and lifestyle, when the progressive development of tourism that had begun in the 1960s – created a transformation that turned the town into one of the world’s best-known holiday resorts.

On the 27th of September 1988, the Andalusian Regional Goernment, in response to the wishes of the town’s inhabitants, declared Torremolinos an independent municipality once again.
