Vamos a la playa! – Holiday at Spain’s coasts

From the northern border with France down to the border with Portugal the areas of the Spanish Mediterranean coast string together: Costa Brava, Costa Blanca and Costa del Sol are just the most famous ones. Why don’t you take a look at the atraveo offers along the Costa Dorada, Costa del Azahar, Costa Calida or Costa Tropical. The chances of finding the perfect holiday house are as good as it is on one of the two famous Spanish island groups, the Canary and Balearic Islands.
Spain offers everything you need for a great vacation at the seaside. Long beaches, kid’s playing at the beach under gloriously blue skies whilst the parents enjoy the time out from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy the tranquillity. A dip in the sea for cooling-off, an ice cream at the near-by kiosk or bathing in the sun on a comfy sun lounger.
Also the multi-faceted cultural life in Spain provides for entertainment. This does not only include the many interesting exhibitions and museums, such as the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao or the great museums in Valencia and Barcelona – but also party animals and night owls will get their money’s worth.
Beside the Canary and Balearic Islands atraveo customers favour especially the Costa Blanca and Costa Brava as well as the region of Andalusia in the south and the area around Valencia.

    Tolle - auch ruhige - Strände, viele Restaurants und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, viel zu besichtigen: von Granada bis El Torcal, die Höhlen von Nerja, die weißen Bergdörfer...

    Nerja ist definitiv eine Reise wert. Wer gerne Tapas oder gegrillten Fisch isst und gerne shoppen geht, der ist in Nerja-City gut aufgehoben. Einen Punkt Abzug gibt es für die Strände, aber wer so ein schönes Haus und so einen schönen Pool hat, der ist nicht unbedingt auf die Strände angewiesen. Diese sind nämlich nicht so schön wie gedacht. Wir haben leider keinen schönen Sandstrand gefunden. Die Strände sind in diesem Gebiet recht steinig und mitunter auch nicht besonders sauber. Um in das klare Wasser zu gelangen sollte man auf jeden Fall Badeschuhe parat haben.

    Landschaftlich wundervoll und bes. grün in diesem Frühling. Ein Stück spanischer Mittelmeerküste, welches noch nicht so massentourischisch verbaut ist. Aufgrund der Abgelegenheit ist ein Auto empfehlenswert.

The caves of nerja are formed by natural calcification and underground currents. They were disvocered in 1956 by neighbors of Maro. In prehistory it was already occupied and the proof of it are the paintings found in some of the galleries (22 paintings declared National-Historic-Artistic Monument) and the human rests and objects found in the cave wich are exhibited permanently. The caves ha a total route of 4.283 meters, of which, only one third part can be visited by the tourist.

Somehow Nerja, while cashing in on the fun-in-the-sun culture, has kept much of its quiet, Old World charm. It has good beaches, stay-awhile tapas bars, and a rich frosting of pastry shops. The evening paseo, the Spanish ritual of strolling and people-watching, packs the streets. Holding hands or ice cream ...
show more cones, everyone meanders toward Nerja's Balcony of Europe, a people-friendly terrace overlooking the Mediterranean.

With its mild climate, you can enjoy yourself to the full all year round and take advantage of the relaxed way of life of a village that still retains much of the character of its moorish past. Today, Nerja offers an excellent range of quality accommodation and leisure time facilities. There are 16 Kms. of beaches , including the internationally famous Burriana beach that has once again been awarded by the Blue Flag of the European Union and the small coves below the impressive cliffs of Maro, which have been the inspiration of numerous artists who have set up residence here.

All major water sports are available here, including water skiing, scuba diving and sailing. Flanked by a dramatic mountain range, Sierra Almijara, to the east . The old quarter of the town is still virtually unchanged with narrow, winding streets, whitewashed houses with wrought iron terraces overflowing with geraniums, on which a canary can sometimes be heard singing...

However, the heart of Nerja is its spectacular Balcón de Europa, the "Balcony of Europe", a magnificent promenade along the edge of a towering cliff, once the site of the great Moorish castle, with sweeping panoramic views of the Mediterranean and the small coves and beaches below, against an awesome backdrop of hazy blue mountains.

The town's monuments include the 17th century Church of El Salvador, in a style which is a charming mixture of baroque and Moorish, or mudéjar, and the beautiful Gardens of Capistrano Playa, which descend to Burriana Beach.

However, Nerja's most spectacular attraction is undoubtedly its fascinating caves, located just 3 kilometres from the centre of town. They include archaeological treasures such as paintings over 20,000 years old and other pre-historic remains. One of the enormous natural caverns has been transformed into a concert hall, where many performances are staged during July.

show more 'The Jewel of the Costa del Sol', has beautiful beaches with golden sand and blue water. Its historical center has narrow streets and white houses with terraces overflowing with flowers. There are plenty of shops, restaurants, bars and cafes, inviting visitors and locals to gather.

Nerja is part of the Costa del Sol and enjoys - together with Torrox, Frigliani and Torre del Mar, an exceptional climate. In winter, the temperature is a few degrees above and in summer, a few degrees below that in most other villages of the Costa del Sol. This is ...
show more because the Sierra Almijara protects this part of the Costa del Sol from the cold coming from the North in winter and the heat of the inner country in summer. While it might be 45°C in Cordoba, Seville or Granada, it will only be between 30o and 35°C in Nerja.

Las cuevas de Nerja [link] are the most important caves in Spain and are the third most important tourist attraction, after the Alhambra (Granada) and El Museo del Prado (Madrid).

Nerja was also the setting of the popular Spanish TV soap "Verano Azul", which made our village known throughout Spain and many Spanish-speaking countries.

Nerja is also renowned for its language schools: there are four schools here, where young and not-so-young can learn Spanish conversation and grammar.

It is said that Nerja has about 600 tapas bars, cafes and restaurants.

Although Nerja will get it's own golf, at this moment there are golf possibilities at about 25 km away from Nerja.

Naturists can find a nice beach at a few kilometer away from Casa Charlotte.

Several small paths will lead the hikers to unique spots in the rich nature of Nerja and surroundings.
