A trip to this once sleepy fishing municipality in Costa del Sol, 50-kilometre east of Malaga in Andalusia can be possible through Bargain Holidays to Nerja. Your privacy is guaranteed duri8gn your vacation considering that the village only has 22,000 people. But what will make you look forward to your Bargain Holidays to Nerja is the sparkling clear water in Nerja’s beaches, coupled with its powdery sand.
The Sierra Almijara mountain ranges provide a dramatic backdrop to the village, making your Nerja Bargain Holidays a true escape from city life. After your diving and sailing adventures during your Nerja Bargain Holidays, there is plenty of time to explore the Caves of Nerja, a 5-kilometre stretch of caverns that are sometimes transformed into a natural amphitheatre for concerts. Three friends discovered the caverns around 59 years ago after they entered a narrow sink hole called “La Mina”, which turned out to be one of the two entrances to the caves. The cave yielded some skeletal remains dating back to 25,000 BC and the Bronze Age.
The Church of El Salvador is a natural destination during your Bargain Holidays to Nerja. The Church was completed in 1697 but was enlarged in 1776. Aside from the four-sided bell tower, the Church is also noted for its Granadine frescoes and the Annunciation mural by painter Francisco Hernandez. Your next Bargain Holidays to Nerja destination is Balcon de Europa, which is adjacent to the Church.
The magnificent promenade called Balcony of Europe, is strategically located along the towering cliff’s edge giving you a panoramic view of the Mediterranean during your Nerja Bargain Holidays. This was once the site of a Moorish castle which is a testament to Nerja’s cultural influences. King Alfonso XII allegedly stood on the sire upon his arrival in 1885 and said “This is the balcony of Europe”, giving rise to the name. During your Nerja Bargain Holidays, you will see the life-sized statue of the king which was placed by the authorities along the railing.
Look out for the two rusty guns at the end of the Balcon when you visit the site during your Bargain Holidays to Nerja, as these serve as a reminder of that day in May 1812, when the British vessel Termangent opened fire and destroyed the fort. Another thing to watch out for during your Bargain Holidays to Nerja is the huge lumps of rocks in the sea, which can be seen from the Balcon’s end. History will tell you that the rocks are actually what remained of La Bateria where a gun battery once existed. There are many historical places in Nerja worthy of exploration once you get tired of the waters.
