Punta Lara is a peaceful urbanisation just West of Nerja town which is right on a lovely sunny beach, El Playazo.
Nerja has an abundance of restaurants, bars, shops, supermarkets and frequent local markets and you can walk along the beach from Punta Lara right into town where there are restaurants dotted along the way.
Things to see in the local area are the stunning natural Nerja Caves, the Nerja Donkey Sanctuary (always a hit with kids!), Frigiliana which is a lovely whitewashed town 3km inland with stunning view as well as lots of lovely walks or for the more adventurous some great hikes into the mountains of the Almijarra.
Nerja has many lovely beaches - some quite remote such as La Caleta or El Canuelo or the famous Burriana beach in Nerja with many facilities, sunbeds and restaurants.
El Olivar is perfect for those who want to stay in peaceful surroundings but want the option of a bustling town or beautiful rural surroundings in the stunning mountains around Nerja
