To see the touristic and local world go by stopping at any of the restaurants / bars in the square is a good way to while away a late afternoon. If your timing is opportune you may even see a wedding or christening ceremony at the local church! More

A must visit if in Nerja. Views are spectacular. A stroll around the area looking at all the shops, restaurants, and people watching is an experience. I particularly liked all the narrow winding streets with all the small shops, bars and cafes. More
