Nerja is on the Costa Del Sol and lies approximately an hours drive north of Malaga. I first visited Nerja with my husband in October 2006 and the last time (approximately our 5th trip) was with my husband and our four year old twin girls in September 2011. Nerja is very pretty and has everything you require for a super holiday - plenty of restaurants, bars, shops and beaches, but it still feels very Spanish. The setting of the town is lovely and at its heart is the Balcon Da Europa, a lovely tree lined walk way that juts out in to the sea. The resort is a super place to mooch around during the day and really comes alive at night with its bustling cafes and bars. The resort is quite compact, so getting around is easy on foot. We loved Nerja as a couple and love it still as a family. It has hardly changed over the years, except there are a few more restaurants. It is also well placed for visiting the local area. Just south is the resort of Torrox Costa, north is La Herradura and inland is the pretty white washed village of Frigliana. It is worth hiring a car to get the most from this beautiful area.

Bar Dolores (El Chispa) is a bar/restaurant where the speciality is fresh fish and shellfish. They will also serve you a tapas with every drink ordered in the bar.
There is a seperate area for eating if you want to get away from the noise of the lively bar.
This is another of the local haunts in a prominently Spanish part of town, they have large screens for all the major football tournaments.
I would recommend you search this one out if you want to get away from the main tourist areas, with a little research you will find this part of town has a lot going for it.

A must visit for animal lovers. You can even borrow a dog to take for a walk, and the pot-bellied pig is charming. Don't forget to take loads of carrots!

La Mariposa is a bodegas and tapas bar serveing very good wines, beers and soft drinks at very very good prices. You are also given a tapas with every drink ordered. It is run by a young friendly couple from Cadiz and the food they serve is from that area of Spain. It gets very busy as it is used by the local population, so there is aways a very friendly family atmosphere.
