Scenic spot
Balcón de Europa is a stunning overlook located in Nerja, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea, nearby beaches, and distant mountains. Situated on a rocky cliff facing the sea, this picturesque area features typical Andalusian coastal town architecture with whitewashed houses adorned with flowers and narrow pedestrian streets leading to terraces with impressive coastline vistas.
What a gem of a place! Buzzing with people from all corners of the globe, surrounded by shops you didn’t know you needed, and restaurants that might just ruin your diet (in the best way). The main square is charming, there’s an adorable little church, and the whole place has this cozy, “welcome home” vibe—with a balcony view over Europe that makes you feel like you’re in a postcard. It’s busy, yes, but not in that “help, I’m in a tourist stampede” kind of way like Málaga can be. Definitely worth a visit for a day or two—your camera will thank you.

An incredible and must see spot in Nerja. The views from the balcon are breathtaking and a must see, especially at sunset. Its usually busy in high season so bare that in mind, but evening time/night time is a must. The area is bustling with people and sometimes has music and bands playing. There is always something going on in the town centre.

Don’t miss it if you’re in the area. Amazing views, restaurants close by and near the old town of Nerja. Bit too crowded though, in off season it should be much pleasant, with few people around 🤣

Nice pleasant experience walking down to the Balcon overlooking the sea. The paraquets can be heard around the area. Shared a very nice pizza and decent beer in the hotel bar closest to the Balcon edge.
Derek S — Google review
Balcón de Europa is a nice viewpoint with a beautiful panorama of the coastline and the sea. It’s well maintained and easy to reach from the town center. The area around it is lively, with cafés, restaurants, and small shops. It can get quite crowded, especially during the day, so it’s best to visit early in the morning or later in the evening if you want a quieter experience. Overall, it’s worth a visit for the view and atmosphere, though it feels more like a quick stop than a place to spend much time

A wonderful, unique, and exceptional viewpoint in the town of Nerja – they say it offers the most beautiful views on this part of the coast. We stopped here on our way from Cartagena to Malaga – there's an underground car park in the centre. Nerja is one of those local, white coastal towns with an interesting attraction – caves with stalactites and stalagmites.

Fantastic little town, can be very busy at times, service is very slow in most bars, I personally feel the Spanish people are not very friendly, but is no denying it is a beautifulutiful place

Nature preserve
Nature & Parks
Caverns & Caves
Fundación Cueva de Nerja is an expansive cave complex located 4km east of Nerja, offering guided tours through a surreal world of extraordinary rock formations, subtle shifting colors, and impressive stalactites and stalagmites. Discovered in 1959 by local young men looking for bats, the caves date back around five million years and were once inhabited by Stone Age hunters. The site also holds historical significance as it was repopulated under Christian rule to prevent further population decline.
You can find all the technical and historical details about this cave on the net. So whatever I say is superfluous. The application offers you a particularly well-thought-out, interpreted story that will put your imagination to work and transport you into an imaginary world. I recommend you not to miss them if you come on vacation.
Arianna S — Google review
The caves are excellent, and unlike anything I’ve ever visited before. The audio tour is great and very informative. However the caves get very busy which really make moving around fairly difficult. The caves are also quite expensive and for a family of 6 cost over $100. Despite this the caves are a really unique and beautiful experience that I do recommend.

Amazing experience and a must do when in Nerja. We bought tickets just by Riu Monica hotel by the train stop. Train takes about 15 mins to get there. Had a drink at the cafe which has amazing views. Take headphones as can download tour guide when there.

The Cueva de Nerja is, without a doubt, a must-see natural wonder on the Costa del Sol. This spectacular cave system offers a truly awe-inspiring journey into the geological history of Andalusia. The sheer size and grandeur of the caverns are breathtaking. The cave boasts one of the world's most impressive geological features: a colossal, record-breaking stalagnate (a column formed by the fusion of a stalactite and stalagmite), which dominates the 'Cataclysm Gallery.' The rich formations, beautifully illuminated, showcase a mesmerizing array of stalactites, stalagmites, and flowstone. Beyond its natural beauty, the Cueva de Nerja is an invaluable archaeological treasure, containing prehistoric paintings and evidence of human occupation dating back tens of thousands of years. This dual nature—as a geological masterpiece and a historical site—makes the visit profoundly enriching. The tourist route is well-maintained and clearly signposted, providing a comfortable and safe experience. Moreover, the pleasantly cool underground climate offers a welcome respite from the Spanish heat. ​In summary, Cueva de Nerja is a spectacular and fascinating natural monument that beautifully marries epic natural formation with deep human history. It is an unforgettable experience.

Great place to visit. Audio guide is excellent. Make sure you bring your Bluetooth headphones for the audio guide because it's based on your cell phone. I do recommend getting tickets early if possible especially in the peak season because it can sell out. It's really nice and cool inside the caves and it's nice and hot outside. Don't forget to validate your parking and pay for it before you leave.

Enormously huge cave. 48h before your visit they release a limited 60 tickets for free. Definitely worth the visit. Temperature inside is the same or even warmer (visited in October). You can even download a free audioguide in many languages.

The caves were much bigger than I had expected. You would expect it to be cooler in the caves but it is warm but more humid as you get to the deepest part. Very enjoyable visit along with the VR show! Check it out!

Museums
The Museum of the village of Nerja, situated in the heart of Nerja's historical center near Balcon de Europa, offers an immersive journey through the history of the area from Paleolithic times to the 20th century. The exhibits showcase a diverse range of cultures that have influenced Nerja, including the Phoenicians and Moors. Visitors can explore themed areas detailing the origins and resources of the settlement, as well as learn about significant discoveries such as the Nerja caves.
Museum of the village of Nerja is a must see! We took a full tour of the museum which was so informative. The perfect place to learn about the culture and history of the municipality of Nerja and many secrets of the Nerja Cave. Then, we did a tour of the Nerja Cave: one of the most spectacular caves in Spain. Declared a Site of Cultural Interest in 2006. (:

Great little museum. It's strength is the finds from the nerja cave. Some really nice stone arrowheads, pottery shards etc. the display panels offer an excellent overview of the Phoenician, Roman and arab periods.

Interesting museum and a decent price. Loved learning more about the Nerja Caves and the city of Nerja. I didn't know the Olympic torch was carried through the coty in 1992. The movie about the caves was ver educational. The exhibit on the music festival was fun to learn. Not a bad way to spend an hour.

Great museum, covering prehistory, Phoenicians, Romans, Islamic, Spanish reconquest, right up to the modern day. Not afraid to tackle the Spanish civil war and aftermath with the Maquis fight against the Franco regime till the 1950s. Then on to tourism,the caves, industrial age and up to date. A great place to escape the heat in summer mad the rain of winter. Always visit and support local museums

Beach
Playa de la Calahonda is a small, pebbly beach nestled between rocky cliffs, making it one of the most famous and iconic beaches in Nerja. Located next to Balcon de Europa, this 120-meter beach offers stunning views and easy accessibility from the town center. While it can get crowded due to its central location, visitors can explore nearby swimming caves like Playa El Chorrillo for a quieter experience.
I visited April 2025 so the beach during the week was very quiet and peaceful. I purchased a sun parasol from a local shop €13 and sat for hours peacefully reading a book listening to the waves crashing the shore. Toilets / showers were available and I found the beach to be clean. The sea water is clear but cold and I braved a swim. Access to beach is steep and no cafe/bar facilities so take drinking water etc...

The water might be good on a perfect day, but we’ve been there on a day after wavy sea, so the water was dirty and the beach was overcrowded. Wouldn’t go back.

One of the paradise beaches of the Costa Del Sol. Surrounded by cliffs and with paths leading to it and to smaller beaches nearby. Of course, it can be popular, but a bit further you can find a piece of your own beach between the rocks.

Beautiful little beach. It was a little busy after 1/2pm but pretty quiet (no music). The sand was mostly clean, and there were toilets and showers nearby as well as bins. Close proximity to the plaza which was great when we needed to escape the midday sun. Water was very clear and we even braved going for a swim.

Bakus is a popular restaurant in Nerja, known for its artfully presented tapas and southern Spanish meat and fish dishes. It is situated near the Nerja Parador, offering stunning views of the Nerja beaches and the Maro Nature Reserve. The cozy restaurant has an outdoor seating area on a beautiful terrace overlooking Playa Burriana, making it a favorite among locals.
Lovely meal and great service. Fillet steak and the pork cheeks were excellent!
Deana B — Google review
Food is very good and extremely filling, we could have easily gone with out starters. The male servers were very friendly but the lady at front of house has an air of arrogance about her which is unexplainable. Tried to make a reservation but told booked out for many days ahead, turned up on the night only to be seated. Witnessed others coming in to try make reservations for following days and immediately being told they were booked up. Either they are short staffed and trying to keep down the number of diners or else they base their decision on your appearance, what ever it was; it created a strange atmosphere. Would I return? Yes based on the quality of the food, but I wouldn’t rush when compared to the amount of extremely welcoming restaurants in Nerja.

Absolutely amazing experience all around. Went for my birthday dinner and the staff were absolutely fantastic. There were no seats left outside when reserving but they managed to get us one, we got a free aparatif of a delicious fish cake. The actual dinner was just fantastic. I got the duck and it was just an amazing mix of savoury from the duck with a sweeter sauce and sweet potato mash alongside. Drinks were cheep with a lot of varieties of wine to choose from. For dessert as well they came out with an icecream with a candle in it to celebrate. All the staff were just so lovely and really did their best to make it as fantastic of a night as possible. Not to mention the beautiful scenery and great opportunities for people watching. Could not recommend it more.

Lighting was austere. Service was sporadic but the male staff were friendly. Food was wonderful. Beef tetaki was amazing. We had an issue with flies/ bugs/ insects whatever you want to call them and unfortunately they staff didn't seem to care. Being from the UK , having to kill 23 bugs on my table during dinner, is an issue. Especially when no other tables seemed to be experiencing the same level of issues. Anyway, despite raising the issue 3 times, no resolution was sought and no one seemed to care.

Simply exceptional! The Service is 100/100; the ambiance of the restaurant is perfect, and most importantly, the food is possibly the nicest food we have ever experienced. My wife had a starter of scallops and a main of Turbot, both of which she loved. I had a starter of chicken, walnut and pear salad and main of fillet steak in teriyaki and black mushroom sauce. Both were stunning in taste and presentation. This is fine dining but at everyday prices. Amazing value for money. We cannot recommend this place enough.

Excellent food and service. Great sea views outside. Scallops were very nice. Sea bass & cod delicious. The caramelised fennel was divine. Vegetables cooked too hard for our liking, very crunchy. But maybe that’s personal preference? Brownie v nice, especially the praline ice cream. Complimentary cava at the end was a lovely touch.

Bar El Pulguilla is a popular spot in Nerja known for its laid-back atmosphere and delicious fried fish specialties. Situated in a central street near the Balcony of Europe, it offers stunning views from its terrace. The bar is famous for its seafood tapas and fresh roast pepper salads. It's a favorite among locals, serving up some of the best tapas in Nerja.
The most local experience I've had in Nerja. Great simple authentic tapas. Order a drink, choose your free tapa. Prompt service as well, and they tolerated my butchered Spanish!

Had a very good meal at Bar El Pulguilla. There was a bit of confusion at the beginning—the staff initially didn’t want us sitting in the front section if we were only ordering tapas. Once that was clarified, we got seated and everything went smoothly from there. We ordered the fritura variada, grilled calamari, cod fish, langostinos, and a hamburger tapa. Every dish was delicious, especially the calamari and cod fish—we liked them so much we ordered both again. Prices are very reasonable for the quality. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.

This place is off the hook busy with insane amounts of people. But the food is delicious and the service is prompt and polite. The price is reasonable. Tomatoes salad was good but the octopus and the calamari was some of the best I ever had. While this place is not particularly fancy and is definitely touristy, it gets 5 stars because it handles the crowds well, the food is delicious, the music is good, the price is right and the atmosphere is fun.

Spanish restaurant
Bar Redondo is Nerja's most popular bar for tapas, with a relaxed and convivial atmosphere. It features a circular bar, plus outdoor seating around wine barrels. The menu includes a variety of tapas to accompany a drink, and the atmosphere is perfect for summer evenings.
Only a week's stay in Nerja and I have already been twice. I'll probably go again before I head home. Welcoming staff, cool spot in the narrow lanes, tables outside and in. And the free tapas that come free with each drink are delicious, as well as the larger-portion rationes. Great relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Pretty busy restaurant. Took a while to get seated, but if you think it’s full it probably isn’t. There’s lots of seats in the very back. There’s also a rooftop patio, but it was very hot. The service wasn’t great. All of the servers were running around like chickens with their heads cut off, going one place to another. Don’t expect five star fancy service. They were trying. We had to get our own forks and plates as they didn’t serve them to us. However, the lack of service was made up for by the incredible tapas. Everything was amazing, and so different (coming from Canada). The eggplant fries were something I’ve never tried before and were such a good idea. Grilled Squid was also awesome. Still would come back!

Our favourite tapas bar in Spain! We traveled for 7 days around and nowhere could beat this place. You order any drink (water included) and you get a free tapas! Drinks are cheap and they have a large selection of beer and wines to choose from. We had a variety of tapas and them all were delicious - really high quality. They range from seafood to pork and beef tapas. The experience is really nice! The service is also very good, attentive and kind waiters (even that they are absolutely busy). Also tapas come quite quickly- it is really good. We absolutely loved this place and can’t recommend enough!

Great recommendation by our local Spanish friend. We really enjoyed our lunch here. They did clever amuse-bouche bites. Make sure you get their crunch shrimp starter!

Best restaurant in Nerja by a mile! I had two wonderful lunches there once trying the tasting menu (go with this) and normal menu (also food but not the best value) my server I think was from S Africa or Oz was awesome ! Super knowledgeable and kind, the food was wonderful each bite bursting with flavor and creativity. Hats off to the chef for using their skills with all ingredients available to them. The world needs more restaurants like this one! If you’re within at least an hour drive you must come here! Don’t be scared by it being city center (parking wise) there is an under ground park place as it’s next to a museum! 7 stars

Fine dining isn’t something you may consider when in Nerja for some winter sun. It’s probably a toss up between Sollun and Oliva for the town’s best tasting menu style meal, and as Sollun was closed for holidays we punted for Oliva. We went for the €65 tasting menu and the €25 wine pairing (yes that’s €25 for 6 glasses of wine). The food was amazing, pretty surprisingly so. We were given 3 appetisers, a palate cleansing sorbet between plates of fish and meat, and finished with a brilliant dessert. The service was amazing, too, professional without being snobby and really took their time to explain each dish and wine. And the wine, it’s all interesting Spanish wine much of which we hadn’t heard of before, and was paired brilliantly. It’s not a cheap meal but amazing value for money for a special occasion.

Mo Gastrotapas is a hidden gem located in a quiet neighborhood near Nerja Caves. This restaurant offers a unique twist on Spanish tapas with an impressive variety of creatively crafted dishes. The minimalist yet flavorful tapas and friendly staff make it the perfect place to enjoy a meal with family, friends, or your significant other. Despite its somewhat secluded location, Mo Gastrotapas is well worth the visit for those seeking high-quality tapas at reasonable prices.

Man, this place has a long way to go to live up to what it was with the previous owner. We always go to Mo's when we come to Nerja but we won't be rushing back next time. Our kids were served raw chicken and to be honest our own food wasn't great. Some things were nice but certain things weren't. For example the tropical salad doesn't even compare to what it was before. Currently its way overpriced for the quality of what you get......sorry folks, but a big disappointment from a long term customer.

Myself, husband and two children (13 &8) had the most beautiful meal here !

Disappointed disappointing. Small plates we had were pretty low quality. The mini spice burgers were awful. Absolutely mush / paste with no spice about them and only 1 tiny bread bun between 3 pates. The spicy prawns were overcooked and the padron peppers were also poor, overcooked as was the egg. Service was pleasant and they took the burgers off the bill. To top it off they were unable to take card payment which they did not disclose until asking for the bill . Ironically the best thing about the experience was the free avocado and prawn taster. We hoped for so much better.

If you’re looking for traditional Spanish fair… this is not the place. However, if you want something delicious, quirky, and modern- this is the perfect spot! I loved eating here, it was so welcoming and fun, the food seemed high end, well prepared and had culinary style. I didn’t catch the name of the waiter but he was super helpful and kind- made the whole experience better (which is saying a lot because the duck speaks volumes) All in all, make a reservation or wander in, you won’t regret it.
