Places of interest to the East of Malaga

Rincon de la Victoria (Victory Corner)

Rincon de la Victoria lies on the coast 10 kilometres to the east of Malaga. A fishing village up to twenty years ago, its proximity to Malaga has changed it into an important centre for both residential and seasonal tourism. The municipality covers an area of 30 square kilometres and offers something for everybody - lots of hotels, restaurants and bars, ten kilometres of coastline for water sports or simply lying in the sun, an excellent golf course and other sporting facilities. It is said that the best anchovies on all the coast are caught here.

Good quality olive oils and wine are produced here. There are also many garden nurseries growing and selling a wide range of plants, trees and seeds.

Nerja

50 kilometres from Malaga, on the eastern most tip of the Costa del Sol, where the mountains meet the sea is the town of Nerja. Once a fishing village, it is now a thriving resort but has managed to retain much of its Andalucian character, particularly in the old quarter with its narrow, winding cobbled streets and whitewashed houses.

At the heart of the town is the Balcon de Europa (Balcony of Europe), a palm tree lined promenade built along the edge of a cliff and out to sea with panoramic views of the Mediterranean and Nerja's nine sandy beaches which stretch to over 16 kilometres in total.

Nerja's most spectacular attraction is its caves, located just 3 kilometres from the centre of town. The Cueva De Nerja (Caves of Nerja) are regarded as one of the most historic monuments of the world, with archeological remains dating back to the Paleolithic Age (about 20,000 years ago). One of the enormous natural caverns has been transformed into a concert hall where many performances are staged.
