If you come to Nerja with children, get ready for an unforgettable experience. This jewel of the Costa del Sol not only enchants with its beaches, but also with endless plans for the whole family. Here are 7 activities that you can’t miss on your itinerary.
1. 🗿 Explore the Caves of Nerja
A classic that never fails. The Caves of Nerja impress both children and adults with their gigantic chambers and surprising formations. In addition, there are audio guides for the more curious.
Tip: Bring a light jacket, it’s cooler inside.
2. 🏖️ Beach day in Burriana with a taste of paella
Burriana beach is perfect for families: soft sand, calm waters and lots of services. After a swim, it’s time to eat at Ayo, where the paella is cooked over a fire and non-stop.
Top tip: Rent a kayak and explore the coast from the sea.
3. 🛶 Kayak adventure along the cliffs of Maro
If you’re looking for an active and different experience, this is the plan for you. From Burriana itself you can take a kayak to the Maro-Cerro Gordo Natural Park. There are caves, waterfalls and turquoise water.
Recommended for: children over 6 years old.
4. 🌄 Mini hiking by the Chíllar river
An ideal route for the more adventurous. You will literally walk inside the river, with small pools and waterfalls. Fun, refreshing and 100% natural.
Important: Wear closed-toe shoes that can get wet.
5. 🧺 Picnic and games in Verano Azul Park
If you’re looking for somewhere quiet, this park is perfect. It has a children’s area, it’s shady and it’s close to the centre. Ideal for resting after a day of sightseeing.
Fun fact: The famous Chanquete boat is anchored here.
6. 🍦 Stroll along the Balcón de Europa (and ice cream is a must)
A stroll along the Balcón de Europa at sunset is almost a must. Sea views, street musicians and a unique atmosphere. And of course, a homemade ice cream for each member of the family.
7. 🏡 Relax in a family home with everything you need
After a day full of adventures, there’s nothing like resting in a comfortable and well-located house. At Casasol Holiday, we have accommodation designed for families: close to the beach, with space and a pool.
