Trip to Nerja

We leave from Granada at 8.30. When we arrive we will have a guided visit by the Caves of Nerja. The entrance costs 9 euros.
 
The Caves of Nerja are a series of caverns close to the town of Nerja in the Province of Málaga. The caverns are one of Spain's major tourist attractions. Concerts are regularly held in one of the chambers, which forms a natural amphitheatre.
The caves were re-discovered in modern times on 12 January 1959 by five friends who entered through a narrow sinkhole known as "La Mina". This forms one of the two natural entrances to the cave system. A third entrance was created in 1960 to allow easy access for tourists. The cave is divided into two main parts.

After visiting the caves, we are going to the centre of Nerja and we are having lunch there in a restaurant called La Marina, in which we will have a 15€ menu, that is at 200 metres from the "Balcón de Europa".


The "Balcón de Europa" was built where before was the destroyed fortress in 1812, during the Independece War. It is situated at the end of a large avenue. There, we can see a panoramic view of the Nerja coast.

Finally, we are going for a walk around the city center and we return to Granada at 6.00.
