The area provides an endless amount
of sights and attractions Exploring the
local tapas bars and other culinary
attractions is well worth doing: it taste
delicious and getting about makes you
realize; that you have arrived at a very
international stretch of coast that
counts more than sixty different
nationalities.
If you are on holiday or you have
accomplished a goal of moving your
entire life to the coast by Torrox or
Nerja - enjoying "the Best Climate in
Europe" can be intoxicating for a while.
However life moves on even on the
Costa and after getting used to your
new Spanish home or settling into
your accommodation you might start to
feel an urge to dig deeper into your
new neighborhood and surroundings.
Nerjas number one tourist sight is the
ancient caves with wall paintings
dating from the Paleolithic and
post-Paleolithic periods. It contains a
fascinating array of stalactites and
stalagmites and all through summer
you can sit in on both international
concerts and ballets. It is an unique
experience to be entertained in the
unusual atmospheric nerja caves.
Visiting the mountainous outback with
natural parks & small white-washed
pueblos is something you just have to
do. This is where history and present
days merge right in front of your eyes.
Black clothed elder women are selling
avocados and other vegetables from
plastic boxes lined up outside their
houses while young senoritas in blue
jeans are walking and taking - rapidly -
with their mobiles pressed against
their ears as they pass the streets.
If you are keeping to the main roads
you will be okay in an ordinary car,
however some parts of the natural
parks and the mountain roads requires
a 4-wheeler. If you don't feel like
driving in the mountains you can book
a jeep safari tour of the outback.
If history and architecture is your thing
you don't have to have a dull moment
in Andalucia. Visiting Seville you will
find one of the finest works of Gothic
and Baroque architecture at the
Cathedral and the Alhambra Palace in
Granada, is only an hours drive away.
The Alhambra is composed of three
parts: the Royal Palace, the Gardens
of Generalife and the fortress of
Alcazaba. The Royal Palace is the most
famous; it consists of the Mexuar -
enclosing the striking Golden Room -
where the sultans conducted every
day business. The inspiration for the
gardens of Generalife is supposed to
be the Koranic description of Paradise.
In general exploring and sightseeing
are not only intended for tourists. If
you are an English speaking resident
in the Nerja / Torrox area you can
book a coach trip to Ronda, an ancient
Andalusian town with old Arabic
houses, go skiing in Sierra Nevada or

with your friends as you do not have
to drive. You will be picked up from
Nerja or Torrox in an air conditioned
