Detailed itinerary

1
Stop 1

Private visit of the spectacular Nerja caves, Nerja town and Frigiliana / / Nerja is on the seashore and marks the eastern tip of Málaga's Costa Del Sol. Once a sleepy fishing village, the town now has a population of over 22,000.
The heart of Nerja is its spectacular Balcón de Europa, the "Balcony of Europe", a magnificent promenade along the edge of a towering cliff, once the site of the great Moorish castle, with sweeping panoramic views of the Mediterranean and the small coves and beaches below, against an awesome backdrop of hazy blue mountains.

However, Nerja's most spectacular attraction is undoubtedly its fascinating caves, located just three kilometers from the center of town. They include archaeological treasures such as paintings over 20,000 years old and other pre-historic remains. One of the enormous natural caverns has been transformed into a concert hall, where many performances are staged during the summer.
