The Balcón de Europa is an almost obligatory stop for everyone who visits Nerja. The name was supposed to had been given to this lookout point by King Alfonso XII. When he first saw the beautiful views, he just had to call it Balcon de Europa. No one who goes to this town escapes from looking out at its famous viewpoint to enjoy a view that, on clear days, could reach to the horizon as far as the African coasts. The viewpoint is probably the most visited attraction in Nerja. The easiest way to get there is on foot, since it is in a basically pedestrian area. Enjoy the views !!! read more

Before arrival I was 90% sure this was going to be touristy and overrated, and I was right. It is pretty with some nice views of the sea and some beaches. The people watching isn't all that great. You'll see lots of overweight and older British tourists and expats strolling along, while smoking their cigarettes or eating ice cream to expedite their already short lifespans, but still happy and enjoying retirement to the fullest. There's also the amateur street performers, typical of any European tourist spot. Japanese girls taking dozens and dozens of selfies of the same photo. In Nerja, you're not quite sure if you're Spain or Britain, but regardless the "Balcony of Europe" is a pleasant place to chill out. read more

The promenade leading to it is pedestrian, where you will find, restaurants, shops, and many ice cream parlors. You can also the lovely little church nearby. Nearby you can visit the Nerja Caves in The small village of Maro. read more

The balcon de Europa juts out from the coast of Nerja like a small natural pier. Despite the hustle and bustle of the town, there is a calmness that seems to descend on the Balcón. There is a couple of nice places for coffee (I was in the cafe El mirador). The also do food and drink, which looked nice enough. Alternatively, grab an ice cream and sit on one of the benches and enjoy the view. read more
