| Property for sale Nerja The completion of new roads, the spread of mains electricity and of course abundant fresh water has made the inland part of this region a very pleasant place to live. The region is bounded to the North East by the Sierra del Alcazar national park and mountains rising up to Granada, bounded to the North West by the Sierra de Camarolos mountains above Malaga and stretches down to the sea from the port of Malaga through the towns of Torre de Mar, Torrox and Nerja. This coast is the warmest part of the Mediterranean in winter. The abundant fresh water and a mild climate protected from the North by high mountain ranges and moderated by the sea in summer has attracted generations of farmers from distant lands who have created some of the most fertile ground on the Mediterranean coast. Recorded history begins with the arrival of the Phoenicians, the Greeks, the Carthaginians and the Romans. Now, in the second millennium, discerning travellers from Northern Europe are beginning to appreciate the attractions of the countryside and the life of the 31 tones and villages that have grown over the last few hundred years. The last five years have seen the completion of the motorway to Lake Vinuela from the coast. The lake is now just 20 minutes drive down to the coast at Torre del Mar. The year 200 saw the completion of the coast motorway from Malaga International Airport round Torre del Mar to Nerja. Thus most of the villages in this area are brought within easy reach of the airport.
