Nerja

Why Nerja is the best city to live and study Spanish in Spain

Nerja is a fishing town in Malaga that borders Granada's province, where the mouth of three rivers meet: the Dry River, the Honey River, and the Chillar River, which enjoys more than 300 days of sunshine a year.

The municipality of Nerja has six towers (which were used as defense towers in the past) and is located in the Costa del Sol coastal area.

The Macaca, Maro or Calaturcos, Pino, and Caleta towers are in good conservation. In contrast, the tower of Torrecilla de Nerja, the Rio de la Miel, is practically destroyed.

It is an ideal gateway to Europe for a vacation, sightseeing, and even diving, and most of the year, it is used to learn the secrets of the Mediterranean.
