Rosi’s Nerja Guide
Sightseeing
The Cueva de Nerja (Spanish for Caves of Nerja) is a four-km-long, 35 km-wide, two-area cave complex north of Nerja, which is a great day out for all the family. Its history is fascinating, and you will discover an underworld heaven as soon as you reach this magical spot.
The most striking feature of these limestone caves is undoubtedly the world’s longest and largest stalactite, whose 33 metres height and 42×22 feet base are located in the Cataclysm Hall.

The Nerja river walk is a great family day out for anyone looking to get away from the beaches. The route cuts through the Sierras de Tejada, Almijara and Alhama Natural Park offering plenty of shade and crystal clear river pools.
You will need comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting wet. (Bear in mind that some the rocks can be slippery.) An old pair of trainers is best, and to avoid blisters, it's good to wear socks as well.
Make sure you take a picnic, water and sunscreen. As it's a linear route, you can turn back the way you came at any point.
Be prepared to cross the river many times and to walk within it. If you go further up the river you will find some waterfalls which provide a fantastic natural massage!
