The Costa del Sol, from Málaga to Nerja

Nerja is at the eastern end of the Costa del Sol, in the Axarquía — the last stretch of coast before the Almería border. The A-7 motorway (the old N-340, signed E-15) runs the whole way from Málaga Airport.

Málaga Airport to Nerja is about 55 kilometres — roughly 45 minutes on the motorway.
In the town

Nerja itself

Once you are here, almost everything is walkable. The apartment sits west of the town centre, between Playa El Playazo and Playa de la Torrecilla.

Getting here

By air, by car, by bus — or on foot

By air

Málaga–Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) is the nearest airport, 55 km west along the coast. It is served by all the major airlines of Europe, and has a large number of car-hire desks in the arrivals hall.

From the airport you can collect a hire car, take a taxi, or take a bus into Málaga and then onward to Nerja.

By car

Leave the airport and join the A-7 (Autovía del Mediterráneo), signed E-15 and Almería. Follow it east past Torremolinos, Málaga and Vélez-Málaga, and take the Nerja exit. It is a straightforward motorway run of about 45 minutes.

Once in Nerja, head west along the seafront towards Playa de la Torrecilla and follow the signs for Nerja Medina.

By bus

Nerja has its own bus station in the town centre, with direct services from Málaga and from Málaga Airport, as well as along the coast to Torrox, Vélez-Málaga and beyond.

From the bus station the apartment is a short taxi ride, or about a 20-minute walk west through town.

Getting around once you are here

Nerja is a walking town. The centre, the Balcón de Europa and both beaches are all within easy reach on foot, and the seafront promenade makes a pleasant route into town.

There is also a local bus along the coast and taxi ranks in the centre. A car is only really needed for day trips to Frigiliana, the Caves, Granada or the white villages.

Booking your flights. Málaga is served by all the major airlines of Europe, and fares vary enormously by season. If you are flexible, mid-May, June and late September are usually the sweet spots: warm sea, quieter beaches and cheaper flights. See the rates page for how our own seasons line up.
