I have just returned from Nerja. This was my first visit. I was astonished how clean it was. Beautiful houses in the old town. I have lived in different parts of Spain for very many years and this town has got to be the one on my return list.
Thank you very much for an informative, concise and enjoyable video. You possess a nice, easy style and you video gives all the basics we were looking for as my wife and I travel there for a week on June 7th ‘24 for the first time as we are beginning to tire of the growing metropolis which is Marbella. The fishing village atmosphere of Nerja will be a welcome change and we now feel nearly at home there thanks to you video, which puts us at an advantage! We’ll done!
Great video! Thanks for telling it like it is. Always so good to get direct info. I just drove through and around Nerja on a recommendation from a local who said it is a lovely town... and they were right. I'd like to spend some time here. Thanks for the info to get me started.
Very nice video thanks! My family lives in Malaga, but my dream is move to Nerja😊.. Seems a perfect place for me, nature, good food, friendly people.. I live currently in Canada and i really miss my culture 😅 well thanks again for show pro and cons of this beautiful town
Great job! Thank you so much for sharing this great video with us! Nerja seems our Dream Place. Plan on having a visit and looking for some properties there soon.
i whould probarbly advise you to wait. spain is about to go through a very tough few years and in a couple of years time properties might be quite a lot cheaper. nerja is nice though.
From our experience, I"d say you got it just about right. However, we are from Dublin where two coffees and a croissant will cost you twelve euros, we can get that in Nerja for four euros fifty! One other thing tourists don't know is that cash machine charges to get cash are very high, best to avoid if you can as it is a bit of a rip off. But mostly, we love Nerja.
wife's family have had a timeshare in Capistrano since the early 1980's they loved going there for family holidays I was lucky enough to go 3 times and found it a fantastic place. Unfortunately, my inlaws are too old to go now and have had to get rid of it.
Verano.Azul. was filmed in Nerja 1982 .TV Series about a gang of children from about 10-14 whose families came for summer. I recognised a location at the beach that appears in the series. It gets repeated on La 2 quite regularly.
It is! Very pretty. Since you live there, I'm curious: what's the official term for Maro? I know it's not a town (even though the Spanish use "pueblo"). It's not a comarca, it's not a municipality...what exactly is Maro?
I@@thetravelsofbbqboyandspank8535 I don't live there, we have a house in Maro (as a vacation home) we come there and stay for 1-3 months a year typically (sometimes longer) ... I don't know how exactly to describe Maro, but the postalcode is still 'Nerja' so it's just part of Nerja... but if I should call it something in spanish, I need to talk to my wife... my spanish is like "can I order a table" and "I need 4 bags" when I'm at Mercadona to pick up some food haha ;D
@@thetravelsofbbqboyandspank8535 I use to live in Nerja in the 80's and married a local, his grand mother lived in Maro, it use to be a very quiet little village with mainly old people
@@akshayaiesec2011 hi … if you are ok with paying, then the big car park is pretty good, it’s not the cheapest, but we get local discount, so we use it a fair bit … but if you want free and are ok with a walk, then burriana (beach) parking is great … just be sure to get there before 10 am in vacation periods (at the evening it’s always pretty easy to park) … there’s a few free parking spaces just before the big (paid) area, so if you’re lucky, those are the absolute best, but it’s like very rare you are lucky enough, but who knows, maybe your luck is better haha :)
Thanks for that... we're planning on visiting Nerja in May! Would you (or anyone) know if there are juice bars in the town as I drink celery juice every day? We'll be staying in the Burriana Beach area. Any info re juice bars would be much appreciated!
Just came back from Nerja. There’s a “Fruit Corner” place right across the street from the “Boquete de Calahonda” where they sale fruit and vegetable smoothies.
Hi bbq boy just watched your piece on Nerja, Really good info,thanks. I know you now live in Nerja just wondering if you could answer a few questions on bus service to Málaga Airport in the month of November. Basically I am wanting to know if bus runs 7ish am from Nerja to Malaga Airport in the month of November. Kind Regards.
Hi Angela. There is 1 bus a day between Nerja and Malaga airport and it's at 11am. You can see on the Alsa website. But it's easy: just take the bus to Malaga. From the bus station, you can take a city bus OR you can go to the train station next door and take the commuter train in the direction of Fuengirola. This 2nd option is the best, takes 10 minutes on the train (which passes every 20 min)
Yes I would agree lovely place but getting so expensive, prices are far higher than other Spanish towns… let’s hope lovely Nerja is spoilt by hyper prices

Sorry, but the fact that you're mispronouncing "Nerja", over and over, is mildly irritating. Have you learned - or are you learning - the Spanish language?
What I find irritating is when people speak English and then pronounce things the way they would in a different language. If I'm speaking Spanish (and I do) or French (which I also do) then I'll pronounce things as they should be in that language. But If I'm speaking in English I'll pronounce them the English-speaking way.

Just came back from Nerja.. I live in Atlanta, originally from Venezuela. Only thing I can say is that I'd love to live in Nerja. Beautiful town!!
Can you share the contact of your RealEstate agent? Thanks in advance and thank you for such an informative video!!!
Nice honest, informative video. Thanks
Thank you!
Great video, thanks for posting!
Thankyou Frank for the frank ( sorry about pun ) review.
My British estate agent suggested Neja and I know another couple that settled there.
The issue these days is finding lodging. It's gotten TOO popular
We've been there many times..always a favourite of ours..stayed at The Balcone.. for the sea views x
It's very pretty :)

Hi vince ! Can you suggest safe parking areas near balcony area in nerja ?

Beautiful place
An interesting video.
Is there nice club with live music?
Hi. What is the name of the beach at minute 1:08 pleas4?
That's La Caletilla - tiny beach under the Balcon
@@thetravelsofbbqboyandspank8535 my mother and I we talk about the name. . She says it’s la playa de Los franceses and I say it’s la playa del hotel.
But I’m very concerned the oficial name is “la caletilla”
Hi we are planning to come to Nerja in January 11th for our 90 days (2025) we have a very small dog so is there dog friendly beach nearby please.
Hi! Officially dogs are banned from all beaches in Nerja. But most people say you can get away with bringing your dog to Playazo beach...
Yes I would agree lovely place but getting so expensive, prices are far higher than other Spanish towns… let’s hope lovely Nerja is spoilt by hyper prices
Lodging is becoming really expensive all over Spain, especially in tourist destinations. It's a shame
Very true
No, in tourist destinations with a lot of sun.
Yoy can stay at home. Too much british people is also a shame!
I am Australian and had enough hot weather for a lifetime .
The problem stems from property owners signing up for AirBnB

But you are pronouncing the j as in Spanish
I speak Spanish and he rarely mispronounced Nerja.
The J is pronounced as an H.. he's saying it correctly.
Juliet you need to see a doctor, and by the way thank you sir for the very informative video, keep it up!❤
