The Mountainous Outback From Costa Del Sol East
by Chris on February 15, 2010
Costa del Sol offers an endless amount of sights and attractions visiting the local tapas bars and other culinary attractions is well worth doing: it taste delicious and getting about makes you realize; that you have arrived at a very international stretch of coast that counts more than 60 different nationalities.
Whether you are just visiting or you have fulfilled a goal of settling down on the coast by Torrox or Nerja - enjoying "the Best Climate in Europe" can be electrifying for a while. However life moves on even on the Costa and after setting up your new home or settling into your accommodation you might start to feel an urge to explore your new neighborhood and surroundings.
Nerjas number one tourist sight is the ancient caves with wall paintings dating from the Paleolithic and post-Paleolithic periods. It contains an amazing array of stalactites and stalagmites and during summer you will be able to enjoy both international concerts and ballets. It is a very special feeling to be entertained in the memorable atmospheric nerja caves.
Driving through the mountains with natural parks & small white-washed pueblos is a must. This is where you will find the past and the present materialized side by side. Black dressed elder women are selling avocados and other vegetables from plastic boxes lined up outside their homes while young woman in blue jeans are walking and taking - rapidly - with their mobiles pressed against their ears as they pass the streets.
If you keep to the main roads you will be okay in an ordinary car, however some parts of the natural parks and the mountain tracks requires a 4-wheeler. If you don't feel like driving in the mountains you can book a jeep safari tour of the outback.
If culture have your interest you don't have to be bored in Andalucia. In Seville you will find one of the finest works of Gothic & Baroque architecture at the Cathedral and the world-known Moorish Palace:Alhambra in Granada, is only an hours drive away.
The Alhambra is composed of 3 parts: the Royal Palace, the Gardens of Generalife and the fortress of Alcazaba. The Royal Palace is the most known; it consists of the Mexuar - enclosing the striking Golden Room - where the sultans did their every day business. The idea for the gardens of Generalife is supposed to be the Koranic description of Paradise.
In general exploring and sightseeing are not limited to travelers. Should you be an English speaking resident in the Nerja / Torrox area you can book a coach trip to Ronda, an old-fashioned Andalusian town with old Arabic houses, go skiing in Sierra Nevada or shopping in Gibraltar accompanied by an English speaking guide. You can even take pleasure in a Spanish sized drink with your friends as you do not have to drive. Pick ups will take place in Nerja or Torrox in an air conditioned coach.
So let your hair down and have fun with Andalucia and the Tours From Nerja & Torrox.
