A walk around Nerja

plaza ermita Plaza Ermita looks like a bombsite!

The fountain on Plaza Cantarera is getting a bit of a makeover
The new pergola is looking good

The weather and coming to Nerja

After a couple of really iffy days today is sunny and bright woo hoo.
If you are just about to head to Nerja for a spring break here is something you don’t want to see on the flight to Malaga!

Wet weather survival equipment

A sudden downpour last night meant a couple of weary travellers were caught un-prepared, but the Boatyard provided them with survival equipment to get them home safely.

Business Focus part 2

This is the second of a series of interviews with successful local companies. This week we talked to Cooltec Services, a Torrox based refrigeration and heating business.

On the “up” side

I love Nerja during the low season ( apart from the recent bad weather LOL) when you can get the best seats at the bar and enjoy the best Tapas, and Nerja is still great value if you wander a bit off the beaten track.  Although a lot of places have closed for their well earned annual holidays there are still hundreds of places to choose from, and while a lot of places are relatively expensive especially if you are from the GBP zone there are still really cheap places and quite a bit going on. A beer and a tapas for 1 euro?
Brilliant, three or four beers or glasses of wine and I’ve had my dinner!
The work that is ongoing in the town especially on The Blacon and Plaza Cavanna looks set to be complete by easter when both the weather and the number of tourists usually starts to change for the better.
What we know as the Costa del Sol (Sunny Coast) used to be called Costa del Viento (Windy Coast) and the winds that accompany the name have already started and will also continue through March, let’s hope they blow the rain away.
The weather forecast for the next week or so gives an indication of things starting to get back to normal, but in the meantime get wrapped up, get out and about and explore some of the slightly hidden away places in Nerja.

Irish Music

Very short notice but Naill and friends will be entertaining in Irish Annie’s bar this afternoon from 4.30ish. :)

Calle Andalucia

Work has started on C/Andalucia and there is a great big hole just a bit further down from the hotel Villa Flamenca

Time for a pic?

A walk around Nerja

Work on Carabeo seems to have slowed right down, the big hole is still there and so is the pump enptying it!
Even worse, after you have walked all the way past Taste of India and Verity you find that the road is now closed to pedestrain traffic. So it is a u-turn and back you go the long way (except for the guy in the picture who obviously was not going to do that)

Plaza Cavanna

It really looks as if the work on Plaza Cavanna will be ready by Easter, there were loads of workmen on site this morning, and the south side of the plaza should be open in the next day or so.
