Advantages: Pleasant beach resort Disadvantages: Too many 'British' pubs
leading from that beach but don't expect to make it all the way to the town centre on it. For some reason, it ends abruptly in a brick wall which is conveniently hidden around a corner so you don't notice till you arrive at a sudden dead-end. What's that about? A quick back-track and then through the maze of streets towards the Balcon de Europa - the jewel in Nerja's crown.
The Balcon de Europa is the heart of the town. It's a palm and plane tree-lined promenade that leads from the 17th century Church of El Salvador to a semi-circular viewpoint on the cliff-top. There are hotels and bars on one side, but any building on the other side is limited to some decorative arches - there are some spectacular sunsets from here and it can get quite busy around that time of day. Up until 1812 there used to be a fort here and that is evidenced by some ...

Advantages: Quieter than your average resort. Good centre for touring Disadvantages: Not a great family venue
of a bunch of lads who stumbled upon, or rather into the Cuevas deNerja, the local caves - if you been to Cheddar or Wookey Hole, there's not much new to see here, but unlike caves in this country, they tend to be a bit 'close' and even sweaty.

Nerja is also a good centre for touring inland and seeing something of Andalusia. The nearby village of Frigiliana is very pretty, and has won prizes in the bid for best "Pueblo Blanco" - White Village. The views from the Garden Bar at the top of the hill, looking over the terracotta rooftops back to the coast are stunning, and it's very easy to spend a whole afternoon here. Try to remember who's driving back though.
Granada is also a practical if slightly tiring day trip, with its Moorish Alhambra Palace and grounds. We found it better to go on a coach trip here rather than use ...

Mirador Des Concrete Works!
We decided to spend a long weekend in Minorca?s Capital, Mahon and found this hotel through Octopus Travel; we paid £454.00 for 4 night?s bed and breakfast for three adults in a triple room over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend.
Location: 8½/10
The Hotel is situated in a nice quiet residential area about ten minutes walk from the centre of Mahon and only 5kms from the airport. It is set on a cliff above the port which can be reached down a long and steep road at the back of the hotel or by a large set of steps from the centre of the city.
Appearance: 8½/10
Quite modern and well kept, with a large terrace area at the side.
Parking: 0/10
None! Be warned if you hire a car as you will have to park some way from the hotel and the local police just love to ticket hire cars!
Lobby: 8/10
