Nice sunset…

Quite a few people on the Balcón de Europa this evening trying to get good shots of the sunset.

The Nativity Scene

The exhibition Hall in calle Cristo (calle Almirante Ferrandis/Post office street) is currently home to the municipal Nativity Scene and it will be on show from now until January 6th 2010. The opening times are from 17:30 until 20:00. The display is the legacy of Carmen Rodríguez, a málagueño by birth but long time resident of Nerja. The scene was …

Tapika’s

A new tapas bar in town, so what better excuse to stop off for a lunchtime drink. ‘Tapika’s’ is located on calle Chaparil, Nerja, just round the corner from calle Antonio Millón and two doors up from one of the best tapas bars in town, ‘Sevillano’, so it’s got some pretty tough competition to contend with.

Balcón de Europa and Plaza Cavana

Calle Carabeo – ghost street

Nice wide pavement in calle Jaén

Work is progressing in calle Jaén, one side of the street now having a lovely wide pavement. Access to Plaza La Marina from calle Jaén has now been restored but the street remains limited access for pedestrians, in theory only residents or those visiting the shops or businesses.

Full House…

A packed house last night at the Children in Need fundraiser at The Boatyard Bar on El Playazo beach.

Plaza Cavana today

Plenty of movement on the building front in Plaza Cavana with a temporary container in place and more of the square being dug up.

New shrubs on the Balcón de Europa

In addition to all the other works on the Balcón de Europa, workmen were out today tending to the garden areas. Looks like a lot of new plants and shrubs are being planted.
