Everything a stroll away.

One of the best things about Chanquete 33 is that the car stays parked: supermarket, beaches, restaurants, playgrounds and the old town, all within reach. Here is your cheat sheet.

Everyday shopping, without the car

For breakfast, dinner or the sunscreen you forgot: the basics are around the corner and the rest is in the old town.

Supermercados MAS 2 min walk On our very street. For the full shop: fruit, fresh produce, pantry staples and household bits.

Mercadona in the old town On Calle San Miguel, if you prefer a bigger chain. There is a larger one on the N-340.

Chaparil Pharmacy on our street At no. 35 Antonio Ferrandis, two doors down. For on-duty and 24h pharmacies, check the sign on the door.

Eating well: from espetos to terrace dinners

Nerja is a wonderful place to eat. There are easy options right here in the neighbourhood, beach chiringuitos for the classic plan, and an old town full of terraces.

Chiringuito Torrecilla 3 Torrecilla · 5 min walk Right on the sand, quick service and a black rice with octopus that will ruin all other rice for you.

Chiringuito El Playazo Playazo · 5 min walk A terrace beside the sand, famous for paellas and chargrilled espetos.

More delivery apps Uber Eats and Just Eat both operate in Nerja: kebab, Chinese, sushi, burgers... for sofa-and-Smart-TV nights.

With kids: an easy win

We know from experience: with two daughters, a good playground nearby is worth gold. Here they are literally next to the house.

Río Chillar promenade playgrounds next door Swings and play areas along the pedestrian promenade that runs beside the building.

Gently shelving sandy beaches 5 min walk La Torrecilla and El Playazo, easy with little ones and equipped with showers.

The building’s pool at home The perfect emergency plan for the hottest hours of the day.

Nerja Caves 10 min by car An underground cathedral that will leave them open-mouthed. Also reachable by bus.

“From the rooftop you understand Nerja: the sea on one side, the mountains on the other, and everything else a stroll away.”

The beaches, from nearest to breathtaking

The first two are “your” everyday beaches. The rest are outings well worth the trip.

La Torrecilla 5 min walk Your go-to beach: sand, full services and lovely sunsets.

El Playazo 5 min walk Nerja’s longest beach: room to spare even in August, with a seafront walk.

El Salón 12 min walk Small and sheltered, below the Balcón de Europa. Pure charm.

Calahonda 15 min walk The postcard one: the cove you see from the Balcón de Europa.

Burriana 10 min by car The big beach at the other end of town: legendary chiringuitos, kayaks and buzz.

Maro beaches 15 min by car Turquoise-water coves beneath the cliffs. Snorkelling is mandatory.

Things to do beyond the beach towel

For explorer days. All tried and approved by the family.

Nerja Caves 10 min by car A breathtaking natural monument, home to the world’s largest stalagmite column.

Kayaking the Maro cliffs departures from Burriana The Maro–Cerro Gordo natural park: waterfalls that drop into the sea and coves you can only reach by paddle.
