Verano.Azul. was filmed in Nerja 1982 .TV Series about a gang of children from about 10-14 whose families came for summer. I recognised a location at the beach that appears in the series. It gets repeated on La 2 quite regularly.
Great video! Thanks for telling it like it is. Always so good to get direct info. I just drove through and around Nerja on a recommendation from a local who said it is a lovely town... and they were right. I'd like to spend some time here. Thanks for the info to get me started.
Thank you very much for an informative, concise and enjoyable video. You possess a nice, easy style and you video gives all the basics we were looking for as my wife and I travel there for a week on June 7th ‘24 for the first time as we are beginning to tire of the growing metropolis which is Marbella. The fishing village atmosphere of Nerja will be a welcome change and we now feel nearly at home there thanks to you video, which puts us at an advantage! We’ll done!
I just found your blog researching Thailand. You are my new favorite fellow Canadian. Love your honesty, authenticity and sense of humour. All the best to you and Spanky!
3 days isn't much - I'd maybe stay 2 days in Nerja, 1 full day in Malaga. But that depends if you prefer beach to sights. Otherwise 1 in Nerja, 2 in Malaga...
Great video. I was in Colonia Guadalupe last weekend when they had an Open Studio weekend. So I got to see some of the murals first-hand. Time restrictions prevented me from seeing the entire barrio, but your video entices me to return to see what I missed.
Thank you so much for this video, I learned more than the official website, I have a few questions, we have a very limited time, I dont want a guided tour I just wanna go and take the green route, as far as I understand I can enter at 10 am the soonest and start hiking freely, the green route is marked? I am scared of getting lost, and for the iconic stones is it ok to do the green tour? Would you recommend the yellow tour who doesnt have much time really as we will continue to the villages all day long and return to Malaga. Thank you in advance.
Don't worry about getting lost, its all well indicated and manageable and is just a loop. Yes, 10am to 7 pm. For the Screw, it's actuall not on the green or yellow, it's on the other side of the parking lot but close to the visitors center. Don't worry, all well signalled.
@@zceylan it's not on the route itself...it's on the other side of the parking lot. But only takes 10 min walk from the visitors center. You'll see - very easy
Thanks for the post here in Feb 2024 staying in the area where you lived. Still relevant although Bat Trebol renamed to San Marco. Still great and busy. El Chispa rammed with locals on a Friday but great fun.
Nice video, thinking of visiting and this is helpful. Usually we go to Lagos Algarve and the beaches there are amazing. But we fancy something different and may give this place a try.
Great job! Thank you so much for sharing this great video with us! Nerja seems our Dream Place. Plan on having a visit and looking for some properties there soon.
i whould probarbly advise you to wait. spain is about to go through a very tough few years and in a couple of years time properties might be quite a lot cheaper. nerja is nice though.
From our experience, I"d say you got it just about right. However, we are from Dublin where two coffees and a croissant will cost you twelve euros, we can get that in Nerja for four euros fifty! One other thing tourists don't know is that cash machine charges to get cash are very high, best to avoid if you can as it is a bit of a rip off. But mostly, we love Nerja.
Thanks for that... we're planning on visiting Nerja in May! Would you (or anyone) know if there are juice bars in the town as I drink celery juice every day? We'll be staying in the Burriana Beach area. Any info re juice bars would be much appreciated!
Just came back from Nerja. There’s a “Fruit Corner” place right across the street from the “Boquete de Calahonda” where they sale fruit and vegetable smoothies.
A great hike but you have to put the work in. I was up there in November 2023 after previous visits in 2012 and 2020. I swear it gets more difficult each time. Lots of great walks in the area too.
It is! Very pretty. Since you live there, I'm curious: what's the official term for Maro? I know it's not a town (even though the Spanish use "pueblo"). It's not a comarca, it's not a municipality...what exactly is Maro?
I@@thetravelsofbbqboyandspank8535 I don't live there, we have a house in Maro (as a vacation home) we come there and stay for 1-3 months a year typically (sometimes longer) ... I don't know how exactly to describe Maro, but the postalcode is still 'Nerja' so it's just part of Nerja... but if I should call it something in spanish, I need to talk to my wife... my spanish is like "can I order a table" and "I need 4 bags" when I'm at Mercadona to pick up some food haha ;D
@@thetravelsofbbqboyandspank8535 I use to live in Nerja in the 80's and married a local, his grand mother lived in Maro, it use to be a very quiet little village with mainly old people
@@akshayaiesec2011 hi … if you are ok with paying, then the big car park is pretty good, it’s not the cheapest, but we get local discount, so we use it a fair bit … but if you want free and are ok with a walk, then burriana (beach) parking is great … just be sure to get there before 10 am in vacation periods (at the evening it’s always pretty easy to park) … there’s a few free parking spaces just before the big (paid) area, so if you’re lucky, those are the absolute best, but it’s like very rare you are lucky enough, but who knows, maybe your luck is better haha :)
