Advantages: Pleasant beach resort Disadvantages: Too many 'British' pubs
has the feel of a real Spanish town...so much for first impressions. The trouble is, it's very popular with Brits and therefore most of the bars and restaurants etc cater for that market. This is great if you're hankering for the full English breakfast, or perhaps a Sunday Roast washed down with a pint of Tetleys, but that's not my idea of Spanish living.
We stayed at the Hotel Perla Marina, on the Playa del Playazo to the west of the town. Nerja doesn't boast a long sweeping beach as such, but a collection of several beaches and coves dotted amongst a rugged, rocky coast. Playa del Playazo is probably the longest expanse of sand, but it's not very wide. However, it's fairly sedate and secluded and is ideal for some peace and quiet. It's still an easy stroll to the town centre, although that can be an adventure! There's a promenade ...

Advantages: Quieter than your average resort. Good centre for touring Disadvantages: Not a great family venue

This is now topped off in marble and a favourite place for the Spanish hobby of strolling nowhere in particular in the evening. The eponymous hotel is built into the cliffs to one side, and we have stayed there twice. It must be one of the few hotels in Spain where you enter at street level to have your bags sent DOWN to ...

Advantages: Easy to get to, UK friendly with a touch of spain Disadvantages: Not for the seasoned traveller
you can see it wriggle!
If you browse the brochures there are many styles and types of accomodation available from small selfcatering apartments to large exclusive villas, small pensions to your big all inclusive hotels. Nearly all the tour operators come to Nerja but don´t be afraid of booking it yourself.
Whilst the spanish like you to try their language, there is a lot of english spoken in Nerja. I would recommend trying just a few word, gracias and por favor, hablas Ingles? The spanish are much more willing to speak english if they think you respect their language.
I could write for hours on Nerja theres a lot to say. It has plenty of local attractions, the Caves being the most famous, traditional tourist pasttimes of horse and carriage rides, the little town train etc. and of course the beach. What it doesn´t readily have is ...
