There are several bars and restaurants within walking distance of the villa including the 4 star hotel Marinas de Nerja. Nerja's lively town centre is around a 5 mins drive or 30 mins walk along the coastal road or beach, where there are many superb restaurants, shops and beaches. A weekly street market visits the town where you can browse the local wares. Located close to the town are the magnificant Nerja caves.
The pretty village of Frigiliana is a short drive inland where you can explore the historic cobbled streets and maybe sample the local wine.
