Nerja: The Balcony of Europe in Southern Spain

Is this heaven? That's what you might say when visiting Nerja, a charming city in southern Spain 🇪🇸

I finally visited Nerja, often called the "Balcony of Europe," located in southern Spain. As soon as I arrived, I couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! It's so beautiful!" The stunning beach colors immediately explained why locals from southern Spain come here for a getaway 🩵. I still can't believe I swam in these waters 🥺. If you're planning a trip to Spain, I highly recommend adding Nerja to your itinerary ✨

📍Recommended spots in Nerja:
- Plaza Balcón de Europa: A viewpoint offering breathtaking views of Nerja's beaches.
- El Salón Beach, Playa de la Calahonda, Playa Carabeillo: As you stroll through Nerja, you'll find small beaches nestled below cliffs. Choosing which one to visit is part of the fun 🤭.
- Restaurante El Náutico Beach Club: Located in front of El Salón Beach, this beach club restaurant offers friendly service and delicious Mediterranean cuisine with stunning views.
- Café Bar las Cuatro Esquinas: A local gem for brunch and churros (highly recommend pairing churros with hot chocolate).
- Plaza De España: On weekends, a small flea market is held here, making it worth a visit if you're in town during the weekend.
- Mirador del Bendito: Though Nerja is a small city, its charming alleys lead to scenic viewpoints ✨. The sunset I saw here was truly breathtaking 🩵.

Why am I not in Nerja right now? It's a destination I can't wait to revisit! If you're unsure where to go in southern Spain, make sure to include Nerja in your plans 🥺🤍
