Position
Nerja is positioned in Andalusia in southern Spain, or more precisely in the most eastern part of Costa del Sol, roughly 60 km east ofMalaga and on the border to Costa Tropical. It is an area of utmost natural beauty and Nerja is favorably positioned with a protecting mountain range in the back and overlooking the sea which creates a micro metrological "bubble" that gives Nerja a 2.5 degrees Celcius higher mean temperature than Malaga during winter and a cooling breeze during summer. That is considered even by the Spanish tourist authorities to be the best climate in Spain, and during winter throughout Europe.

How to get to Nerja from Malaga

By car
When you exit the airport and pass the brewery "San Miguel" (named after us ;-) ) keep left to enter the motorway towards Malaga. Head for Motril and Almeria and the second takes you up on a new motorway. This will take you east and out of Malaga so just follow towards Almeria. After Velez-Malaga it shows Nerja on the road signs. After 45 minutes you have the exit down to Nerja.
Pass two roundabouts and take left in the third big one. You will then pass a big bridge and after that the bus station. If possible park the car to the left of the roundabout directly after. To the right walk down the street San Miguel. You pass the small park and we are positioned directly after the park. Couldn´t be easier.

By bus
The airport bus (19) leaves about every half hour for Malaga. It costs 1.10 Euro and it is recommended that you have the correct change.
After about 25 minutes you enter the bus station in Malaga (final stop).
The bus for Nerja leaves from bus stop number 38 but it is recommended that you buy your ticket in the booth for "Alsina Graells" inside.
It costs now (April 2009) 3,85 Euro but you can check both prices and timetables at http://www.alsa.es
The trip to Nerja takes 1 to 1,5 hours.

Hostal San Miguel
The hotel is positioned right in the middle of Nerja, at the old historic center just around the corner from the bus station.
It lies next to the park "Cantarero" and "La Pintada", the main strolling street.

It is very easy to find your way to hotel San Miguel, whether you arrive by car or by bus. When you enter Nerja on the main street Pescia and has crossed the bridge, you come to the bus station. If you take a right turn off the main street in the first roundabout and pass the park, you´re there! With only two blocks to the bus station and a few minutes to beaches and the beautiful town center with all it´s restaurants and shops, it is an ideal position.

Apartamentos San Miguel
Just continue up two blocks from the park and the roundabout by the bus station to the next roundabout and take left into a small street called Calera de Gomez.
There on number 10 you see our house with a sign saying "apartamentos San Miguel".
Central, silent, close to gym, restaurants and the supermarket "Iranzo". 10-12 minutes walk down town or to the biggest beach "Burriana". Couldn´t be better.
