With a volume of more than 100,000 m3 and a surface covering 9,371 m2, the Tourist galleries represent approximately one-third of the cave. The cave has been used as a habitat, a burial site and for cultural expression. There are remnants testifying to the passage of hunters, gatherers and fishermen from more than 30,000 years ago. The General Visit starts with the screening of a audiovisual presentation in which you will be able to see spectacular details of the cave (10 minutes). Then an audio-guided visit through the different chambers of the Cave, in a pleasant walk of about 45 minutes where you will discover the many secrets the grotto keeps (audio-guided in Spanish, English, German, French, Italian and Russian). When the cave closes its doors, a small group of privileged people can enter the mystery of the underworld to enjoy the magnificence and beauty of the cave, and discover its secrets. You can choose between three modalities of Exclusive Tours

We went to Nerja for a day trip from Malaga and we had a great time visiting the cave, it is amazing, we followed the tour guide and he explain everything about it also with an audio guide, very recommended visit . After the cave we went to Nerja town and visit the Museum which is very modern and interesting. Nerja is a very quiet town and everyone is friendly.

The beach has beautiful sand--tiny, rounded rocks that you sink your feet into and let the ocean massage. Like a spa in the sun. And good foot showers so you can clean off and not track the sand into your car. Ummmm.

El Salón Beach is one of Nerja’s larger beaches with over 200 meters of sand and surf. This beach generally won’t be extremely overcrowded as there is only one way to get to the beach and the access road can be difficult to find so it can be a nice quiet place to relax and listen to the crashing waves of the Mediterranean Sea.

We did a track fron El Canuelo to Playa Cantarrijan. Amazing beaches, very interesting track (not always well signed) and outstanding views. Worth spending a day while in Nerja. One of the highlights of our trip. Moderate level track difficulty.

We’ve spent a lot of time in and around Nerja but didn’t realise this beach existed - yet it’s only a short walk from Balcon area (from Balcon, walk along alley towards tourist shops, turn right onto Calle Hernando de Carabeo, walk couple of hundred metres and the beach overlook is on the right). From the overlook, steps take you down to the beach which is situated in a small secluded cove with clean sand. Ok so it’s a bit overlooked from various apartments and hotel rooms plus obviously a short hike down (from the overlook you can decide whether or not the steps are within your capabilities) but in my opinion it’s still one of the more attractive stretches of sand so close to Nerja centre.
