Nerja ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ

 

Today we woke to sunshine! ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰

We caught a bus to Nerja (1hr+ away) which mainly follows the coastal road.  The sun was making the ocean sparkle and beautiful blues and green colours ๐Ÿ˜Š

We caught a taxi to the Nerja Caves which were only discovered in 1959 by some local boys who found their way into a cave.  The series of massive caves are over 4 KMs deep and contain cave paintings and the largest stalactite/stalactite in the world, as it has joined and formed a solid column measuring 32m.  The caves walk takes you deep underground and was very impressive.






We decided to walk back to town which initially was on a wide footpath beside the main road and then branched off beside a small aqueduct and a narrow country lane.that eventually dropped down to the Playa Carabeo beach. 










The water colour is gorgeous and the water pretty cold still.  We wandered up the beach before grabbing a gelato ๐Ÿ˜Š




Next stop was a walk through the old town of Nerja and then to the 'Balcony of Europe' for stunning views of the coastline.  We zoomed back in time for our bus back to Malaga.









A wander along the port to the colourful Centre Pompidou before collecting our luggage from storage and catching the train to the airport.




A fabulous way to finish our Spanish adventure ☀️

Now off to Italy๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น  on a late flight.
