The Costa del Sol / Nerja region

The Costa del Sol is blessed with beautiful scenery and lovely weather, and Nerja, a former small agricultural and fishing village, is situated in one of the most privileged locations on the Costa del Sol.

Nerja is on the seashore some 52 kilometres from Malaga, making it only a forty-minute drive from the airport. It is accessible via the old N-340 coastal road, or via the newly-constructed four-lane motorway, "Autovía del Mediterraneo". Nerja marks the eastern tip of Malaga's Costa del Sol and this once sleepy agricultural fishing village, now has a population of over 20,000.

Guaranteed sunshine 320 days a year, average temperatures of over 20 ° C, glorious beaches, unspoiled spectacular countryside, white-walled and pink-roofed villages, excellent sports activities, history, culture, heritage, good food and blue skies, make Nerja one of the most attractive towns on the "Costa del Sol" to visit.

Flanked by a dramatic mountain range, the Sierra Almijara, the town has fortunately managed to avoid being blighted by the concrete high-rise scenario, which has been the inevitable result of the tourist boom in some of the other coastal resorts. The old quarter of the town is still virtually unchanged with narrow, winding streets, whitewashed houses with wrought iron terraces overflowing with geraniums, on which a canary can sometimes be heard singing...

However, the heart of Nerja is its spectacular Balcon 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 sea and the small coves and beaches below, against an awesome backdrop of hazy blue mountains.

El Capistrano Village

El Capistrano Village is possibly, the most beautiful and exclusive Urbanisation on the Costa del Sol, situated between the Sierra de Almijara and the Mediterranean sea, an area whose exceptional micro-climate produces vegetation of unique beauty and unusual colours.

Capistrano is located to the east of Nerja, being only a couple of minutes drive or 15 minutes walk from the centre of town. The urbanisation is maintained to the highest standard with some of the most beautiful communal gardens in the region. There are several swimming pools in El Capistrano, including swimming pools for children, all with well-stocked pool side bars. There are also spacious green zones, tennis courts, bars, restaurant, a supermarket and a laundrette, with horse riding and golf facilities at various meters from the urbanisation.
