Costa del Sol offers an endless amount of sights and attractions.  Exploring the local tapas bars and other culinary attractions is well worth doing: it taste delicious and getting about makes you realize; that you have arrived at a very international stretch of coast that are home to more than sixty different nationalities.

Whether you are on holiday or you have accomplished a dream of settling down on the coast by Torrox or Nerja – enjoying “the Best Climate in Europe” is invigorating for a while. However life moves on even on the Costa and after getting used to your new Spanish home or settling into your accommodation – you might start to feel an urge to scrape under the surface of your new neighborhood and surroundings.

Nerja Caves

Nerjas main tourist sight is the natural archaeological caves with wall paintings dating from the Paleolithic and post-Paleolithic periods. It has a fascinating array of stalactites and stalagmites and during summer you will be able to frequent both international music & dance entertainment . It is a very special feeling to be entertained in the out of the ordinary atmospheric nerja caves.

Alpujarras Tour in Sierra Nevada

Visiting the mountainous outback with natural parks & small white-washed pueblos is a must. This is where you will find the past and the present materialized side by side. Black clothed elder women sell their crop from plastic boxes lined up outside their white town houses while young girls in jeans are walking and talking – rapidly – with their mobiles pressed against their ears as they pass the streets.

If you keep to the main roads you will do fine driving an ordinary car, however some parts of the natural parks and the mountain tracks requires a jeep. If you are not up to driving there yourself you can book a jeep safari tour of the outback.

Nerja Countryside Safari

If history and architecture is your thing you don’t have to be bored in Andalucia. In Seville you will find one of the most impressive works of Gothic & Baroque architecture at the Cathedral and the world-known Moorish Palace:  Alhambra in Granada, is only an hours drive away.

The Alhambra is composed of 3 parts: the Royal Palace, the Gardens of Generalife and the fortress of Alcazaba. The Royal Palace is the most famous; it consists of the Mexuar – enclosing the striking Golden Room – where the sultans did their every day business. The influence for the gardens of Generalife is presumed to be the Koranic description of Paradise.

In general exploring and sightseeing are not limited to visitors. If you are an English speaking resident in the Nerja / Torrox area you can stop by Ronda, an old Andalusian town with ancient Moorish houses, go skiing in the mountains or shopping in Gibraltar accompanied by an English speaking guide. You can even get pleasure from a Spanish sized drink with your friends as you do not have to worry about driving. Pick ups will take place in Nerja or Torrox in an air conditioned coach.

So let your hair down and experience Andalucia and the Tours From Nerja & Torrox.
