Day Trips From East Of Malaga
Andalucia provides an endless amount of sights and attractions visiting the local tapas bars and other culinary attractions is well worth doing: it taste delicious and getting about makes you realize; that you have arrived at a very international stretch of coast that counts more than 60 different nationalities.
If you are just visiting or you have accomplished a goal of moving your entire life to the coast by Torrox or Nerja - enjoying "the Best Climate in Europe" can be inspiring for a while. However life moves on even on the Costa and after setting up your new home or settling into your accommodation you might start to feel an urge to dig deeper into your new neighborhood and surroundings.
Nerjas main attraction is the ancient caves with wall paintings dating from the Paleolithic and post-Paleolithic periods. It contains an amazing array of stalactites and stalagmites and all through summer you will be able to go to both international music & dance entertainment . It is an unique happening to be entertained in the extraordinary atmospheric nerja caves.
Driving through the mountainous outback with natural parks and small white-washed villages is something you just have to do. This is where you will find the past and the present materialized side by side. Black clothed elder women sell their crop from plastic boxes lined up outside their white town houses while young woman in blue jeans are walking rapidly through the streets talking in their mobile phones.
If you are keeping to the main roads you will do fine in an ordinary car, however some parts of the natural parks and the mountain roads requires a jeep. If you are not up to driving in the mountains it is possible to book a jeep safari tour of the countryside.
If history and architecture have your interest you don't need to have a dull moment in Andalucia. Visiting Seville you can see one of the most impressive works of Gothic and Baroque architecture at the Cathedral and the Alhambra Palace in Granada, is only an hours drive away.
The Alhambra is composed of three parts: the Royal Palace, the Gardens of Generalife and the fortress of Alcazaba. The Royal Palace is the most famous; it consists of the Mexuar - enclosing the striking Golden Room - where the sultans conducted every day business. The inspiration for the gardens of Generalife is presumed to be the description of Paradise from the Koran .
As a matter of facts: exploring and sightseeing are not only intended for tourists. Should you be an English speaking resident in Spain you can visit Ronda, an old Andalusian town with age-old Moorish houses, go skiing in Sierra Nevada or shopping in Gibraltar accompanied by an English speaking guide. You can even pour down a Spanish sized drink with your friends as you do not have to drive. You will be picked up from Nerja or Torrox in an air conditioned coach.
So let your hair down and have fun with Andalucia and the Tours From Nerja & Torrox.
