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 Nerja Caves were an amazing experience — the most impressive cave system I’ve ever visited. Each chamber feels unique, filled with massive stalactites and stunning rock formations. Highly recommended!

An awe-inspiring natural wonder, the Cueva de Nerja reveals colossal chambers, ancient stalactites, and prehistoric cave art that spark the imagination. The guided paths are well lit and accessible, offering a fascinating journey through history and geology in one breathtaking visit.

We stopped to picture this on the walk back down from the caves and also from the tourist train. Constructed in the 19th century, the aqueduct was built to transport water from the Maro River to the nearby San Joaquín sugar mill. It consists of four levels of arches, totalling 37 arches, and stands approximately 40 meters tall and 90 meters wide. The aqueduct is still in use today, supplying water for local irrigation.

We had a quick stop in one of the lay-by stops on either side of the adjacent bridge. This site is really easy to photograph and not an overcrowded tourist spot

It was worth a quick stop and a photo… I recommend seeing it from the bridge, not walking to it from the ground.

Nice to see, but it looks a little bit neglected

Worth a wander up from town if you don't have transport, about 20 mins easy walk, or stop by car if you do. Beautiful 200 year old aqueduct built for the nearby ruined sugar mill. Good photos from the road bridge but also it is good to walk down to it (and further on to the private beach if you have time). Yes a few homeless people have built tiny shacks nearby but they are friendly and will avoid you. It is 100 times worse walking through a British city centre so don't let that put you off.

Worthwhile stop if you are in the area but not worth going out of your way for. There is parking on either side of the bridge along N-340. You can also drive 5min to "Parking para Cala Barranco de Maro" along a rough paved road in order to make a 5min walk down to the base of the Aqueduct.

The best vantage point is from the parking 'mirador de acueducto': 36.7569287,-3.8502772. From here, there leads a little footpath to the top of the aquaeduct.

Beautiful seaside viewpoint with an absolutely stunning panorama. Unfortunately, it’s often extremely crowded, especially with groups of students everywhere. I’d recommend avoiding weekends if you really want to enjoy the beauty and peacefulness of this amazing spot.

A beautiful view of the Mediterranean Sea, from a less famous point in the city of Nerja. We had some free time, and we discovered the place on Google maps. Besides the "Mirador" there is a well-kept staircase that goes up to the small bathing beach. The place is well maintained with flowers and vegetation

A great view over looking the beach and sea The breach is shingle not sand some good bars and cafès and ice cream places There are toilets Pictures taken from the observation deck There is a walkway not too step combined with steps

Sat here waiting for family after visiting the beach, steps to steep for me to walk. But beautiful views of the beach and the sea.

Great food, large portions, good service.

Nice beach, a short check in for me, I just walked around to see the area in December month. The temperature was still 21 degrees, I think it's a good area to lay down in the summer 🙂.

A place where you can enjoy some see views in Nerja. This place is located near a Parking and you can walk to Balcón de Europa trough old village Streets. You can, access to a small beach from this place

Really good place. Basic seating, no frills service and great value paella gets my vote. It's not a posh place and it's not fine dining but it is decent tasty food at a good price and watching them cook the paellan for s an experience. Eat here

We stopped by this beach bar specifically to try the paella, as locals had recommended it as a popular spot for great paella. We were definitely not disappointed – the portions were generous, with both prawns and chicken. The atmosphere itself lacked a bit of coziness, but it’s understandable given the large number of guests and the goal of serving everyone as quickly as possible. It was interesting to watch the staff working so smoothly and as a team, with each person focused on their own tasks. I would definitely come back here again for the paella.

Beautiful place with amazing views. The staff were nice and friendly. The salmon and entrecote steak were nice but the 1kg steak in the bone was at first undercooked so it was taken back and cooked a little more but it was full of sinew and fat so we actually left more than we could eat and the only winner with that was the dog as we took the bone home for him.

Fresh Paella at the beach. The portions are big for what you pay. A plate of paella with chicken and shrimps is €10,- Wich it’s full of. The staff is friendly and you’re served quickly.

Loved seeing the huge paellas being made. Tasted very good too. A perfect place for lunch on a beach day.

A nice place to eat and drink for a couple or a big family. Service is OK, there's no waiting for food, they bring dishes as thought it's a pits top in F1;) Fish and multiple salads is tasty, paella also good. Plates are enormous! Great value for money!

We were tempted to try this restaurant because of the idea of paella being cooked over a fire, but don’t be fooled – avoid this place. The sangria was watered down, and the medium-sized juice was only 200ml. That wasn’t even the worst part. The paella itself was a huge disappointment – no vegetables at all, and the shrimp were undercooked. The décor was terrible – or rather, completely absent. Plastic chairs and tables just placed on sand, and the entire restaurant was extremely dark because of the covering they use. The atmosphere felt dirty and unpleasant. After receiving our drinks, we waited 30–40 minutes for food without being informed about the waiting time. In the meantime, another waiter took our condiments and gave them to a different table that arrived later but got their food earlier. Finally, when paying the bill (30.40 EUR), we gave 50.40 EUR. The bill was taken away without a word, and no change was returned. My husband had to chase the waiter to get the money back. Overall, a terrible experience. Definitely not recommended.

Great beach very secluded some small rocks when entering the water,bathrooms ,food concession, drinks We brought our own sandwiches rental beds, umbrella and kayaks great if it is windy its in a valley sheltered from the wind

Playa de Maro is one of the most beautiful beaches in southern Spain, a true hidden paradise just outside Nerja. Surrounded by cliffs and lush nature, this small cove offers crystal-clear turquoise water that’s perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking. You can even paddle to nearby waterfalls and sea caves, which makes it feel like an adventure straight out of a postcard. The atmosphere is peaceful and unspoiled, far from the crowded tourist beaches. Bring water shoes, as the shore is pebbly, and don’t forget your camera — every corner of this place is stunning. Playa de Maro is an absolute must-visit for anyone looking to experience the natural beauty and tranquility of the Costa del Sol.

Very natyral beach and perfect place to spend day in the sun and water of Spanish tradition!

Pretty beach though gets quite busy. Google directions try to send you down a steep off road track from the top, but unnecessary as there’s a main road down and parking alongside.

Pretty beach! Good place for casual snorkelling and swimming. Beach can get crowded, but atmosphere is pleasant. Walk down is taxing but there is a reliable local bus service for €3 per person (cash only!)

Be very carful with your belongings on this beach, theives are operating in the area, make sure you leave nothing on the beach when you're swimming or it will be robbed. Take Care.

nice view, narrow road

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.

We had the cod and the salmon and they didn’t disappoint. Super fresh ingredients and very tasty. Generous portions as well.

Fantastic restaurant. Great location. Great service. Super food. Sea bass was a generous portion. The mashed potato was highlight of the day for the kid. And the fillet was spot on. Every plate was clean.

I had a pizza here at about 17.00 today. The pizza was lovely and washed down with a nice pint of lager. Very well priced, a nice touch was the free olives and side salad. I was that impressed I marked it on my maps as a favourite, somewhere to come back to. However, things went awry when the bill came. It was exactly as I expected €12.5. I gave the waiter a €20 bill and was given €5.50 change ! I called the waiter over and pointed out this 'error'. I could immediately sense from his body language that this was, annoyingly, not a mistake. He took away the saucer of change and then returned with the correct change, saying it was now correct! I am sorry but this was not an accident, I am a seasoned traveller and I have never had such an experience ! A waiter that can not subtract 12.5 from 20 and arrive at 7.5 !

Nice little family ran place, popped in for a quick drink and some snacks, nothing flash just good fresh cooked food at a good price. Gets busy late lunch.

Ni una estrella , RUN AWAY !!!!!!! It was HORRIBLE , WE’VE WAITED FOR MORE THAN 1 HOUR AND IT WAS NOT EVEN GOOD . The waiter was very rude when we complained about it and told us that we should have gone to Burger King instead .

We've stayed right next door to Miralmar for the last two Summers. It is a cracking, family run spot with super friendly staff, great grub and a lovely welcoming atmosphere. We' can't wait to go back in October

Great fresh food and polite welcoming experience, reasonably priced. Air conditioning inside and also used by Spaniards. Service was rather slow as lunch was busy, but all food freshly made, hot and all meals arrived together.

Mediocre to the core. Food, environment and service end to end. Avoid its trash. The service had no smile, no pace or anything resembling effort. Just utterly awefull, there are so many great places to eat within a few minutes please go there instead and avoid this tourist trap. Avoid.

Ended up paying for our drinks then leaving, only one person taking orders, no food seemed to come out of kitchen.

Pretty good beachside Restaurant, nice views of the Beach and Sea. Service is in the whole not bad, though when we asked for a Table near the front we were told by a miserable Waiter that the 4 or 5 tables were 'reserved' and he then directed us elsewhere 🫤 strangely we dined there for about 2hrs, nobody sat at the 4 or 5 'reserved tables'...🤔🫤 The food is pretty good, the Wagyu Beef Burger was very good, it also came with a huge piece of Cheese (a bit like Camembert 😎), Caesar Salad was good too. The Price was not too bad, I just wish the Waiters were a bit more 'customer focused' 😉 , that said, I'd still go back there again to ear👍

Rincón del Sol offers a modern beachside interior and a diverse menu, which creates an appealing atmosphere. However, there is significant room for improvement in the food quality. The gambas al pil pil could benefit from more seasoning, and the sea bream papillot was overly sweet and had some bones that detracted from the experience. The grilled squid was undercooked. There was also a large amount of flies, a common problem for beachside eateries but easily solved with anti fly candles in every table. On a positive note, the service at Rincón del Sol is commendable; the staff are attentive and hardworking, even during busy periods. With some adjustments to the menu, this restaurant has potential.

Absolutely one of the best places to eat in Nerja. Definitely our favorite restaurant. Food is so well prepared, and matches with the wine they serve. End the evening with well served Pornstar martini and martini espresdo Ricón del Sol is the place to be if you are looking for a perfekt experience

To be honest, I was sceptical at first that the food can be good in a fairly touristic area, at Burriana beach. I was wrong! The food was excellent and service very attentive. The location is perfect, beachfront with the nice view of the sea. The cherry on the cake was a mini ice cream served with the bill 😄 - excellent idea on a hot day

Excellent food by the beach! We had the famous tuna steak and we loved it. The desserts are also great and there are quite enough healthy alternatives as well.

Gorgeous food, really nice to find something a bit special and different.

We all really enjoyed our food: baked salmon with shrimp sauce, bacon-wrapped cod, goat cheese salad and hamburger. We also had two very unique and delicious desserts. Portion sizes are good. Everything beautifully presented. Priced as you’d expect from a restaurant of this caliber. Service wasn’t bad. And even though it’s an outdoor restaurant, the temperature was very comfortable with the roof overhead. Will definitely repeat.
