If you want some more ideas of things to see and do in Nerja, check out this page.
The Caves of Nerja are a series of caverns close to the town of Nerja in the Province of Málaga, Spain. Stretching for almost 5 kilometres, the caverns are one of Spain's major tourist attractions. Concerts are regularly held in one of the chambers, which forms a natural amphitheatre.
The nearest waterpark to us is a 15 min drive away (direction Malaga.) It´s called Aqua-Velis and it´s situated next to the shopping centre El Ingenio near Torre del Mar. It's opened from 11am until 6 or 7pm, depending on the season. If you don´t have a hire car, get a taxi or public bus.
Lovely beach, with great restaurants along the sea front. Also great for children as there is a little play area. Sun sea and sandcastles. Great for jet skiing, kayaking or pedalo's.
Kayak hire from Burriana beach either as a group or on your own.
Kayak through the caves and out past the waterfall. A great experience and highly recommended.
This was recommended to us if you would like to enjoy a spa day while on holiday.
There are lots of other places around Nerja for massages or beauty treatments.
