As one approaches Nerja along the A340 the scenery becomes more and more stunning as the Sierra de Tejeda Mountains appear in the distance. The whole area is of great natural beauty, and Nerja is sheltered by these Mountains which give it a tropical climate. The town itself has many excellent restaurants of all nationalities and the Spanish Tapas bars have a wide choice of delicious local specialities. Nerja is a wonderful place to be based for visiting areas such as Granada, with its legendary Alhambra Palace, Ronda, Seville, etc. A few kilometres into the mountains there is the lovely white, Moorish, village of Frigiliana with its houses cascading down the hillside. Another place to visit is the Cueva de Nerja, which has only been discovered relatively recently. This fantastic grotto supposedly has the longest stalactite in the world - the caves have artistic lighting and are used for opera, ballet and orchestral concerts featuring renowned stars.
