We went to the Donkey Sanctuary on Friday lunchtime. It was a nice little place and the staff were very friendly. We took carrotts to add to their bread. The donkey that followed us round was lovely. I managed to get bitten by the donkey that was blind in one eye but that's probably because I didn't put the bread... more

We thought it would be a fun change in pace to visit the donkey sanctuary on our vacation. The staff is friendly, the animals happy to see you, and it is a wonderful cause. The staff will give you carrots and bread to feed the animals. There are donkeys, goats, pigs, and even a huge turkey who will eat out... more

I visited as a result of my family visiting there. Very few things touch me but the animals and staff were amazing. The work they do and love that they show is incredibly rare and precious. I never thought I liked Donkeys but they were such lovely characters. Everyone is so friendly and warm. I will go back every time... more

We visited the sanctuary and took two of the dogs for a walk. I think Honey and Sam enjoyed the trip out. We had a drink in a bar at the end of the beach and Sam dug a big hole under the table. Up to the boat yard and we had a drink there (very friendly people). It was... more

We stayed in Nerja for a week & took advantage of a short walk from our apartment to the Nerja Donkey Sanctuary. It was well worth it. We took carrots to feed the donkeys but ended up sharing them with the horse, goats & pigs as well!! There is no admission fee to the sanctuary & the volunteers working there... more

Nerja donkey sanctuary has got to be the best place to visit if you are feeling warm and lovable with a liking for donkeys, horses and the very cute goat they took in as its mother was killed in a car crash. These animals in the sanctuary have been through terrible ordeals in their life and have been punished, brutally... more
