Weather

We have visited Nerja many times and on the odd occasion the weather can be atrocious. Very heavy rain with water rushing off the nearby mountains towards the sea. BUT this all soon dries up and within a day or two the mid teen, winter, temperatures and sun return to allow everyone to enjoy this idyllic Spanish seaside town.

Holiday

Despite the rain life goes on and the relaxing holiday atmosphere makes a visit to Nerja at any time of the year a delight.

Review by: Lorraine Kissock

Weather

Fabulous! Have been in the height of summer when it was maybe too hot on occasion but plenty of shade if you look for it i.e. air conditioned bars. Also been in late October/early November just as the tide was turning. Maybe we were lucky, but still very pleasantly warm and beautiful and upon returning back to U.K. nearly got frostbite at airport.

Holiday

On every occasion, we could not wait to get there and were loathe to come home. I have been to Spain (many times), both mainland and islands and love the country but since I have gotten slightly older I much prefer to stay away from the package side of things and be independent and could not have chosen better! I found the locals to be very friendly, albeit if you don*t make the effort, then that is up to you-when in Rome etc.

Weather

I had one drizzly day and one overcast. The rest were sunny at some point of every day. I had 22Â°C days and as cold as 12Â°C but in a shaded terrace (from the wind) I got a tan even in 14Â°C and it felt like summer.

Holiday

The people were almost exclusively Spanish that I met. The town is beautiful and there are enough sites to keep you occupied even without sunshine. I had some good food and some great food. There really is a choice of everything. There are also quite a few supermarkets locally, so very easy to eat on the cheap too. Of course, you could enjoy a huge 3 course lunch, with a beer, for between 8-9 euro.

Review by: Ed Hinde

Weather

My wife and I have been to Nerja many times and the weather has always been sunny and warm. Last February we decided to have a long weekend there, fully expecting it to be cool and overcast. What a surprise! The temperature was 23c and wall to wall sunshine. Unfortunately we didn't pack any shorts or other suitable clothing.

We'll know better next time. At night it was cooler though and we needed a coat to walk around the streets. I'm told November to January is the coldest part of the winter there, but due to the protection of the mountains Nerja has a warm micro-climate all year round.

Holiday

In February the town is very quiet with many of the bars and restaurants closed. The good news is you can park your car much easier at that time of year. In the summer the town is packed and finding somewhere to park up can be a real problem.

The town is still very Spanish and there are few English or Irish bars. We went to some of the local places and the welcome was warm and friendly, as we have found every time we go there. We love wandering around the narrow streets and finding a quiet bar or restaurant. Quite often you will get free tapas with your drink.

The beaches aren't great but the town centre and balcony are beautiful places to sit watch the world go by.

Weather

The weather in the second week of November was quite good for the time of year.

During the day time, temperatures ranged from 23 degrees to 16 degrees.

In the evenings it got a bit chilly but not cold . Fleeces or something equivalent were required.

During our week we had a total of four hours rain.

Holiday

Nerja is a mixture of tourism and a working town.

It is certainly not as commercialised as the the other resorts at the Western end of Costa Del Sol.

The cobbled streets, full of Tapas bars, were interesting and the Balcony of Europe was most unusual.

There are several nice beaches here and some more lively bars if that is what you require, but in the main it was fairly peaceful.

It was also worth visiting the Caves, the Donkey sanctuary and the lovely village of Frigiliana, only a short local bus ride away, as was the resort of Torrax.

Review by: Nigel Smith

Weather

We have learnt over the years that Nerja in July, August and even September can be too hot for us. We now go at the beginning of October for three weeks and find that generally the weather is great. Most days reach 25-26C with minimums rarely below 17-18. It does ocassionally rain, but rainfall is normally restricted to showers, which can be very heavy. However this does help to clear the air and half an hour after a shower everything is dry again.

Holiday

Superb. We always rent a villa in the area which means you can please yourself for meals and take the opportunity to dine out at some really great restaurants and cafes. We also always rent a car, which at the time we go, is very reasonable. We always use Economycarhire.com

Weather

The weather in July and August is hot, but nice if you like it like that. It gets a bit windy towards the end of August.

Holiday

What can i say we love Nerja, our holiday is always great!! We love the beaches but they can get packed during summer time.
The food is lovely try out the tapas bars in the town, about 2.50 euros for a beer and small plate of tapas. It is so spanish in Nerja not like most of the other Costa del Sol places.
On the salon beach you can see the local fishermen bring in their catch early morning or late afternoon its great and they will sell the fish to you, we have had many a BBQ with out even going near the supermarket. All in all you will have a fantastic time in Nerja, our favorite place!!!

The weather was always beautiful when we visited. However July and August can get a little too hot.

Travelling at the weekend for 1 week. It will be interesting to see what the weather is like in Nov!

Holiday

We have been going to Nerja for 16 years. We absolutely love Nerja - the place is so relaxing. Everything seems to "fit into place".

Trying to learn a bit of Spanish, but you are never stuck in Nerja as plenty of people speak English.

Can't wait to go again - it just feels like home!!.

Review by: Jane Alexander

Weather

We have been going to Nerja for nearly twenty years now so you could say we love it !.There are so many resturants to choose from something to suit everybodys taste in the real Spanish Town Centre along the Barriana Beach to many to mention.
The weather has a very good reputation for being good even in the winter it is notoriosly known for it as the bad weather seems to get trapped behind the montains so the sun still shines.

Holiday

Nearly twenty years ago it was great we have seen lots of changes since then but we still love every minute of it and go five times a year so you could say we enjoy our holidays.
Our children and Grandchildren visit Nerja too they is something for all ages,
The Barriana Beach is lovely for children plenty of things for them to do.
