Coastal Properties

Near Nerja
East of Malaga
Spain

Nerja on the Costa Tropicana enjoys a sub-tropical climate which in winter is the warmest part of Europe and certainly warmer than any other part of Spain. The traditional crop was always cane sugar. Nowhere else in Europe can grow it! The coolest month is January but due to the shelter of the mountains the records show an average mid-day temperature in the mid 60s F.
In the summer again due to the mountains and the undulating nature of the land near the coast there is almost always a breeze which has a moderating effect of excessive heat. House design and orientation are important.
Malaga airport has daily flights from the main UK airports and services from many of the minor airports which are often more pleasant to fly from.
The new coastal motorway brings Nerja to within 45 minutes peaceful drive to Malaga airport. This is a far cry from the old days of threading through the traffic in Malaga city and following a dirt road between the fishing boats an Rincon de la Victoria. The new motorway link round Velez Malaga to Lake Vinuela brings more of the delightful inland villages within easy reach.
The motorway network now permits a drive from a ferry port in northern Spain leaving 9am in the morning and arriving by 4pm in the afternoon.
