Great site. Just a question on the weather forecast. I am over in a couple of weeks and have been checking the Nerja weather on MyNerja and on AEMET the national weather service. For tomorrow, Friday the AEMET site has a beautiful day with 5% chance of rain but MyNerja has a 50% chance of rain and possible thunderstorms. Not criticising anyone, weather is difficult, just interested and wondering why the difference. Thanks

Is there anywhere in nerja to hire beach chairs ?
#5 by GingerHound on May 21, 2013 - 8:16 pm
If you just want a basic beach chair, there are lots of shops that sell them quite cheaply, otherwise you could try the Nerja Hire Centre.

Yes you can – there is more information on the link I posted.

Hello Denise, the gym doesn’t speak English but some of the people do

We are arriving Nerja for family holiday on 25/05/13. Son, Son-in-law, and Grandson football fanatics and are planning to attend match in Malaga on the Tuesday of our stay, do you know if there is a local supporters club who maybe arrange transport they could get in contact with?
#13 by Jerry on May 23, 2013 - 9:11 pm
Hi George
Last time I was in Malaga I went with the Guiri army to a Malaga match but that was not from Nerja. They have a website with contact info so send them an email, maybe they can put you in touch with someone in Nerja who goes. http://www.guiriarmy.com/ Otherwise just get the bus to Malaga, its a simple walk from the centre along the river to the ground.
#14 by george on May 23, 2013 - 10:58 pm
Hi,
Thanks for info.
#15 by Mark on May 15, 2013 - 7:28 am
Hi!
1st time coming to Nerja on the summer, do you recommend to use swimming shoes at the beaches around Nerja? Are there sea urchins or sharp rock beaches there?
Regards,
Mark
#16 by GingerHound on May 15, 2013 - 8:14 am
Hi Mark. It depends on the beach, some are sandy, others can be painful (especially if you go to the more remote beaches in the natural park), so a pair of crocs will come in handy.
#17 by Sue on May 16, 2013 - 1:10 pm
Hi, yes the beaches can be quite stoney and so the best bet I find is to walk down to the sea in a pair of flip flops and then just as you get near enough to avoid them getting washed away, leave them on the beach and carry on into the water. Good to luck for a landmark as to where you left them though as you could end up drifting down the beach and then losing them!
#18 by therese dunne on May 16, 2013 - 9:38 pm
hi mark would recommend beach shoes for most beaches especially swimming only a few euros in the shops there especially the chinese shops
#19 by ta on May 12, 2013 - 10:24 am
We are just booking our return visit to nerja this year in October .We were there last year for the Oct festival and while we enjoyed it we stayed in the Carabeo area which was very noisy .Could any one tell me dates for this years festival so we can book some other area that is a little further away and a little quieter .Any suggestions welcome.
#20 by GingerHound on May 12, 2013 - 9:58 pm
The Feria dates haven’t been confirmed, but if you are visiting in the week of the 8th to the 14th you are better off booking in another part of Nerja. Either the Parador area, or the Torrecilla area are both convenient locations and should be nice and quiet even during the Feria.
#21 by Margareta Jendmyr on April 5, 2013 - 1:25 pm
Hi! Tomorrow we are leaving Gothenburg for one week in Nerja. We are staying at the Calabella hotel. We sure look forward to be in Your qute town for vacation. One question: we plan to visit the Al Hambra Castle and the mosque in Cordoba. Is it possible to get swedish guiding there?
Best regards
Margareta Jendmyr
#22 by Ron Adam on April 5, 2013 - 3:47 pm
Regarding the Alhambra Palace:
Audio-guides are available in 5 languages (Spanish, English, German, Italian, French). These are available in the atrium (by the ticket offices) and at the gift shop in the Palace of Carlos V.
My understanding is that official guides in Granada must complete a three year study there. That might meant essentialy the guides generally would be Spanish. However, I have heard Japanese guides there with that country’s tourists. You might need to contact the Alhambra General Manager via their web “contact” site. Here’s the link:
http://www.alhambra-patronato.es/index.php/Brief-History/34+M5d637b1e38d/0/
Good luck!
#23 by Max on May 10, 2013 - 2:08 pm
Do you mean the Alhambra in Granada? If so yes you can get an audio guide, hand held device. Just select the language that you want
and it guides you around the whole complex at your own speed.
Oh just noticed the date you posted. Hope you enjoyed your stay?
#24 by Jan Wright on April 5, 2013 - 12:27 pm
Hi, I wonder if anyone plays table tennis or knows or where there may be a table hidden away indoors or outdoors? I would be interested in joining a group or starting one, thanks – Jan
#25 by Sinead on April 5, 2013 - 12:58 pm
I think I recall seeing one downstairs at the Beach Cafe in the Balcon de Europa hotel.
#26 by Richard on April 5, 2013 - 4:14 pm
The villa flamenca hotel has a good table in a semi outdoor space

Hi,
Can you tell me the programme of events for April in the cultural centre,Also any info on the Nerja Players,rehersal time,can anyone join in, ect…
#28 by GingerHound on March 21, 2013 - 5:04 pm
Hi Caroline. The programme for the cultural centre is published at the start of each month, so we will know in a week or so. Re the Nerja Players try emailing them on membership(at)nerjaplayers.com.
#29 by John Brentley on March 21, 2013 - 6:44 pm
Hi Caroline,
I am the secretary of the Nerja Players. We are English speaking but from a number of countries and we welcome any new members. We meet on the first and third Tuesdays of each month between October and March (inclusive) at 1900 / 7pm in the premises of the Nerja Bridge Club at the top of Avenida Castilla Perez (the blue double doors). Please email me if you would like more information about the kinds of things we do.
#30 by CAROLINE BRAHAN on March 23, 2013 - 9:36 am
Hi John
Thank you so much for your response,I have since looked on line and found the Nerja Players Web site.Would be delighted to visit a rehersal some time,As i will be in Nerja end of April seems i’ve missed out on this season,but wish you well and look forward to singing a bar or two with you all sometime soon.Kind Regards From Tipperary Ireland,Its Not Such a long Way….
#31 by Judy on March 11, 2013 - 6:13 pm
Hi,
I´m moving to Nerja very soon. Does anyone know if there are any art groups in town? Also , are there any stores which sell art supplies ? canvases, paints etc…..
thanks.
#32 by Rosemary on April 4, 2013 - 2:59 pm
Hi, I was interested in your post as I am an artist and moving to Nerja gradually over the next few months. What sort of art group would interest you? I am planning to start a life-drawing class/group to be held on a fortnightly basis, for instance. I can also give tuition to a small group. So if you’d like to keep in touch, we might be able to exchange email addresses.
best wishes
#33 by Alex on May 1, 2013 - 12:28 pm
Good morning,
I hope you don’t mind my replying to your post, but the fact that you said you are moving to Nerja soon caught my eye. The company I work for (EasyFx) currently advertise on this website to help people who move abroad with their currency transactions. The reason why people use our services is because we offer better rates of exchange than high street banks, saving thousands of pounds on such transfers. Please feel free to get in touch via our website or post on here. Kind regards, Alex
#34 by Dr D on March 8, 2013 - 6:22 pm
Your picture of the aqueduct reminds me that well intentioned beurocracy and a disregard for the past can be ruinous. This was a beutiful landmark that carried the scars of it’s history, but it’s restoration makes it look like a Disneyworld creation. Could we please have the original back!
#35 by Mark on February 22, 2013 - 10:31 pm
Staying at Villa Monty in the Exotica area later this year. Prefer not to hire a car, does anyone know how far it is to supermarkets and the beach and are there pavements? Just want to double check the brochure details. Thanks Mark
#36 by GingerHound on February 23, 2013 - 5:39 pm
Exotica is on the main road out of town. There are pavements on the main road. Nearest supermarket is a Lidl across the road. It will be a 20 or 30 minute walk to the beach and is not the best place to be without a car.
#37 by Phil Smith on February 16, 2013 - 10:58 am
The Tapaculo will be buried at the end of the Maro fair. Is Tapaculo a slang description? It doesn’t appear in the dictionary.
#38 by GingerHound on February 16, 2013 - 11:06 am
I don’t actually know. It sounds like it might be rude though.
#39 by Liam on January 29, 2013 - 7:19 pm
Hi I am over this weekend for a couple of weeks and as a first timer in Nerja am looking for somewhere lively for the six nations rugby. Any suggestions?
#40 by GingerHound on January 29, 2013 - 7:48 pm
For the Six Nations try the Irish Harp bar on Calle Carabeo (near to the Balcon de Europa).
#41 by Brian on January 29, 2013 - 8:03 pm
The Dubliner in plaza tutti frutti has large screen and is usually fun for 6 nation games ,with good banter between the different nationalities
#42 by Sue Payne on January 30, 2013 - 10:33 am
The Sportsman Bar, up the hill past Supersol (just near the big sports centre) is great – we watched a lot of the Olympics there last year. British owned, very friendly welcome and plentiful food.
#43 by Geoff Dodd on February 5, 2013 - 4:47 pm
Can anyone tell me how you buy the prepaid cards for the Carabeo car park. I would think it is at the entrance but not sure.
#44 by GingerHound on February 6, 2013 - 6:46 pm
You just buy them from the office at the entrance to the car park. Make sure you buy them on the way in though.
#45 by Geoff Dodd on January 17, 2013 - 11:40 am
I read late last year about TV satellites being replaced which stopped British television being received in Nerja. Has anything changed. It could ruin my wifes holiday if she cant get her daily Countdown “fix” on Channel 4
#46 by GingerHound on January 18, 2013 - 11:44 am
Yes, there is talk about all the British satellite TV channels going, but until it happens no one really knows. More info here:
http://mynerja.com/view/news/british-satellite-tv-switch-off-for-costa-del-sol/
#47 by Ron Adam on April 5, 2013 - 3:52 pm
So far only a limited number of stations are no longer received here in Nerja on Free Sat. Those channels no longer received include channel 5. As of today, BBC and Channel 4 are still on, but the word is they will be gone from satellite viewing by sometime this summer.
#48 by Phil on January 16, 2013 - 3:12 pm
Hopefully you will be doing some coverage of the new beer shop on Calle Huertos. I went in and it has what Nerja is missing whcih is great beer! It would be a shame if people who like beer with flavour don’t visit the shop and try one or two. I never knew there was a brewery in Granada making a stout at 9% with Sierra Nevada water! And delicious it is too. And loads more from around the world too.
#49 by olive on December 23, 2012 - 5:44 pm
hi
have heard there is a bus service running from malaga airport direct to nerja can anyone give me details. thank you
#50 by Teresa Hopkins on December 25, 2012 - 12:41 pm
There is a bus from the airport into Malaga bus station. Then there are buses to Nerja. We prefer to take the train to Malaga and then the bus. (The bus station is next to the train station).
#51 by GingerHound on December 26, 2012 - 8:26 pm
The only direct bus service between Nerja and Malaga airport runs once a week on Mondays. 9am from Nerja and 11am from the Airport, so not much use to anyone really.
#52 by Bue -+drove on December 28, 2012 - 11:02 pm
We love Espana
#53 by Ron Adam on December 27, 2012 - 10:53 pm
There are trains running three times an hour from the airport to Malaga Train station. The airport train station is directly across from the main terminal 3. The train from the airport takes approximately seven minutes to the main train station. I think it’s the third stop but it is clearly indicated in the displays inside the train. If you have a lot of baggage, you may want to take the elevator to the departure track. The trains run in to directions, to Malaga, and on to Fuengirola in the other direction. When you arrive at the train station you have to walk across the front of the station to the side door leading across the street to the Bus Station, where the Nerja bus seems to always be leaving from the farthest bus gate. I think the train is now the better means of getting to the Malaga Bus Station because the previous city bus now takes a longer local route with many stops. Also the city bus doesn’t operate as frequently as the Malaga train.
#54 by olive on January 6, 2013 - 11:17 am
thankyou for your reply it was very helpful. We have caught the city bus in the past but this has caused difficulties at busy times as my husband is partially disabled. We will certainly try the train. Thankyou once again.
#55 by Neil on December 6, 2012 - 5:25 pm
My wife and I will be staying in Nerja for 8 weeks During January-March next year. My wife is keen to keep up with her aqua gym during this time and was wondering if there are any gym/pool facilities actually in Nerja town which are open to visitors (ie non-members for instance).
#56 by Judith on November 3, 2012 - 8:13 pm
Can anyone help me please. We returned from Nerja yesterday and we bought a little stone necklace with a jewel in it from a shop near the balcon for our grandaughter who lost it 2 hours after having it. He makes them from stones from the beach and writes the childs name on the front. Does anyone have an address, email or tel number as she is distraught and I would like to try to get another. Thank you.
#57 by Jenny on November 6, 2012 - 4:12 pm
Hi, I know the shop you mean. I’ll go and try to get the details you need. Will get back to you.
#58 by Judith on November 7, 2012 - 12:22 pm
Thank you Jenny I would be very grateful for your help
#59 by Jenny on November 8, 2012 - 3:20 pm
Hi Judith,
Taller de Piedra is the name of the shop. Owners: Jose L. y Susana.
Address: C/Gomez 1, 29780 Nerja. Tel: 952528065

We are spending the winter in Nerja. Is there a gym in Nerja?
#64 by Brian on September 25, 2012 - 2:46 pm
There are a few gyms in town, Time on Pescia opposite Supermecado Iranzo, Venus gym for ladies only, and another who’s name escapes me on the way into town opposite Lidl
#65 by Kaisa on September 25, 2012 - 9:05 pm
Thanks a lot, Brian!
#66 by Sue on September 27, 2012 - 10:13 am
The gym just up from Supersol, part of the big sports complex, is also open to non-members, you just pay I think 4 Euros to go in. Small and basic but we used it a few times during our last trip and will do so again.
#67 by Gillkeith on September 27, 2012 - 4:38 pm
You can also get a fantastic full English Brekkie from the German bar just outside the sports complex.
#68 by Sue Payne on October 25, 2012 - 9:43 am
Yes I can vouce for that – we’ve had breakfast there as well and it was very reasonable. Good views of the running track while eating, too, which my teenage daughter quite enjoyed given that there was a football team training at the time!
#69 by Andy on August 29, 2012 - 8:29 am
Hi, anyone know a good english speaking doctor. Developed a inner ear infection and need medication.

#70 by GingerHound on August 29, 2012 - 9:07 am
You can try Dr Rik Heymans on Calle Angustias in the centre of town, or the Clinica Rincon opposite the Supersol on the west of town.
#71 by Shirley Benn on August 19, 2012 - 10:08 pm
Hi
Is there a shop or business in or near Nerja that will fill my balloons with helium and decorate with curling ribbons and weights for a party or do I need to find one in Velez Malaga?
#72 by Derek Alford on August 19, 2012 - 10:50 pm
There is a shop at the top of calle Cristo just off the balcon , they sell
Lots of party stuff . They might have what you are looking for .
#73 by Andy on August 19, 2012 - 5:12 pm
Anyone know a place to get my hair cut. Only need need to be clipperd, as clippers I have’ broke on way over.
#74 by GingerHound on August 19, 2012 - 5:22 pm
Try John the Barber on Calle Gomez. This is the narrow street next to the street where the tourist information office is on the Balcon de Europa opposite the church.
#75 by Alison on August 20, 2012 - 12:07 pm
johns great my boys always go there!
#76 by Pamela on August 12, 2012 - 2:23 am
Hi. We’re coming back to Nerja next week & my kids (well, ok, hubby & me, too) would really love to try churros & hot chocolate for breakfast. Does anyone know of Anywhere that does them?? Thanks
#77 by GingerHound on August 12, 2012 - 9:11 am
You can try the cafe Las Cuatro Esquinas on the corner of Calle Pintada and Calle Las Angustias – they do churros in the mornings.
#78 by Pamela on August 12, 2012 - 7:49 pm
Gingerhound, thank you so much. That is the one I was thinking of, but couldn’t remember where it was. I’d found it on google earth, but hadn’t made a note of it, so of course I couldn’t find it when I went back on to google earth. Thanks again, looking forward to churros & hot chocolate on Wednesday
#79 by Pamela on August 19, 2012 - 9:46 pm
Gingerhound, thanks again for the info re las Quatro Equinas. We had lovely churros and hot chocolate for breakfast this morning
Last year, we couldn’t find anywhere, and this year, there seem to be several places serving them. Though they were well worth the wait.
#80 by GingerHound on August 20, 2012 - 9:46 am
Glad you enjoyed it. Since you asked I have noticed churros on offer at the Mediteraneo cafe on the Balcon and also at Cafe Ortiz at the end of Calle Diputacion. Best not to ask about the number of calories though.
#81 by Gill on August 10, 2012 - 6:40 pm
Hi Would you advise to drive to Granada from Nerja or is it possible to get a local train?
Thanks
#82 by GingerHound on August 11, 2012 - 9:51 am
There is no train station in Nerja, so your only options are bus or car. The buses go from the bus station on Avenida Pescia and take 2 to 2.5 hours to get to Granada.
It is quicker to go by car, and the roads are good all the way there, so for many people this will be the best option.
#83 by Gill on August 8, 2012 - 11:41 am
We will be staying in Nerja in September. Our flight lands at Malaga at 9.30 p.m. (Wednesday). Is there anywhere we can buy provisions (breakfast stuff, beer etc) on the way from the airport to Nerja at that time of night?
Many thanks
#84 by GingerHound on August 10, 2012 - 9:51 am
There are several petrol stations on the way in to Nerja which will be open, where you can get some basics.
#85 by therese on August 10, 2012 - 10:48 pm
yes there is if you are staying at the torecilla beach end of town jamica supermarket and torrecilla supermarket stay open till 11-1130 pm just returned from nerja and both open at this time of night they are on the same road and side of the jamica restaurant hope same in september
#86 by Shirley Benn on July 24, 2012 - 6:49 am
I am getting married in September 2012 in Nerja. Can anyone tell me if the large lettering NERJA is still at the entrance to the Town as I thought it would make a great photo shot.
Thanks

#87 by GingerHound on July 25, 2012 - 2:10 pm
Yes, the letters are still there, just outside the Nerja Donkey Sanctuary.

How far out from the beach are the swimming areas protecting bouys and lines in feet from the shoreline?
#94 by GingerHound on June 28, 2012 - 12:21 pm
The buoys are around 250m or 820 feet from the shore. This is only an approximate distance, especially for the smaller bays.
#95 by tyson on May 7, 2012 - 7:06 pm
can anyone tell me how much it is to hire a motorcycle in nerja
#96 by GingerHound on May 7, 2012 - 8:18 pm
125cc scooters start from 35€ a day, and a 250cc motorbike is 59€ a day.
#97 by John Phelan on May 7, 2012 - 4:19 pm
I came to Nerja last year and did a little bit of sea fishing from the shore with no luck. W’ll be there again next week so would like to know where would be the best place for local fishing info.

#98 by Marqueemoon on May 7, 2012 - 4:44 pm
Hi John
There is a good fishing tackle shop (Arrabal Ruiz) on Calle Diputacion 14, tel 952520693 – the owner speaks spanish and a little english and is friendly. He will have great knowledge of local sea fishing spots

Hi, Just seen you do Zumba in Nerja where does this happen as i am moving to Nerja in Sept this year and i do lot of fitness classes very interested in doing Zumba, aqua gym, etc can you send info please. Thanks karen
#100 by Marqueemoon on May 7, 2012 - 4:51 pm
Hi Karen
There is a Facebook page called Zumba Nerja – you should get some information from them. It is a fitness centre in Torrox Costa
#101 by GingerHound on May 7, 2012 - 4:53 pm
Hi Karen
The gym on Calle Pescia (the main road through the top of Nerja) does Zumba classes. There is also a gym by the entrance to the Los Huertos, Calle Carabeo car park that does exercise classes in their pool.
#102 by Paul on May 6, 2012 - 8:59 pm
Can anyone tell me please if it is easy to purchase post and packaging supplies in Nerja, such as bubble wrap, jiffy envelopes, plastic postal bags, corrugated card etc. and if so are they expensive.
Many thanks
#103 by GingerHound on May 7, 2012 - 11:36 am
You can get packaging materials in the various Chinese Bazar type shops quite cheaply. There are also a few stationers in Nerja, such as the Mena on El Barrio, although these will be more expensive, they can get you anything you need.
#104 by Philippa on April 24, 2012 - 2:31 am
Hola… I would be very grateful for your advice/help:
I am coming to Nerja for a couple of days in May to get away and also to look for some part time/seasonal work for the summer. I have vast work experience and partial knowledge of both German and Spanish and was just wondering if you knew of anything available at all or even if you had vacancies yourselves?
I realise that this may not be the place to request for advice on a job search but I am willing to try my hand at anything and would be very appreciative if you replied. Muchas gracias.
#105 by GingerHound on April 24, 2012 - 4:10 pm
Its not going to be easy to find a job here in Nerja, given that Andalucia has the highest unemployment rate in Spain, there are a lot of people chasing the few jobs that are on offer. Some restaurants will advertise jobs such as waiting or kitchen staff in their windows, but you have to be here to see the adverts and apply for them. Also make sure you bring your CV with you and take it in when you see a job advertised.
There are also office based jobs advertised from time to time and the local papers have job adverts. So bring copies of your CV with you and start looking when you arrive, but don’t expect to find something easily.
#106 by Graham Jordain on April 17, 2012 - 5:23 pm
Visiting in May and your site is proving very useful. Thanks. Only one slight concern, am staying at the NerjaPrince because I wanted to be in a small hotel in the old town, & you do not list it.
#107 by GingerHound on April 18, 2012 - 7:35 am
The Nerja Princ/ess (note they seem to call it different names) is a small hotel in the centre of town. Everything is nearby and it seems like a nice little hotel, so I am sure you will enjoy your stay. If you are bringing your car you will have to pay to park in the Los Huertos carpark behind the hotel. The streets with all the tapas bars are just around the corner, 5 minutes walk away.
#108 by Graham Jordain on April 18, 2012 - 11:35 am
Thankyou

There are several ‘ferreterias’ in Nerja which sell all kinds of DIY supplies. In the old part of town there is one called ‘Martin’ which has two shops just over the road from each other. The addresses are 101 and 124 Calle Cristo.

There is a place on the right hand side of the road as you leave town for the motorway, just past the Lidl roundabout. It has a range of fencing and posts on view from the road so you can’t miss it.

Hi – does anyone know where you can hire bicycles in Nerja? Plenty of motorcycle hire shops but we could not find anywhere to hire a pushbike when we were there earleir this week. We’ll be back again in May and would love to do this if we could.
#113 by Brian on February 23, 2012 - 4:01 pm
is there anywhere in town that does bicycle repairs?
#114 by Marqueemoon on February 24, 2012 - 1:10 pm
Hi Brian
There is a cycle shop on Calle San Miguel near to Mercadona that does them

Hi,
Is there any bars or pubs showing the Cheltenham races next month? We’re arriving on the 13th March and keen to find somewhere to watch them.
Cheers!

Hi Ian
There are a few bars that will probably be showing the races, and if they aren`t would probably turn the channel over if you asked. I will ask if I see the owners but the bars to try are:
Numero Seis on Calle Chaparil – lots of space, outside and inside TVs, and shows sport
Buddys, Calle Malaga – a good chance they will have it on
DBs on Calle Cristo – will probably turn the TV over if not already showing it
Bosque on Castilla Perez – again they are very likely to have the festival on
#117 by Ian on February 23, 2012 - 10:18 am
Cheers for that Marqueemoon, Numero Seis, Buddys and El Bosque seem to be the names that I keep hearing, we’re staying down that end of the town as well so they’re all within a stones throw. Looking forward to the few days away now, roll on the 13th!
#118 by Marqueemoon on February 23, 2012 - 10:35 am
Good luck, if you have any tips let us know!
#119 by Ian on February 23, 2012 - 10:38 am
Trust me, you don’t want my tips!!
#120 by Marqueemoon on February 23, 2012 - 4:48 pm
I have checked with Niall from Numero Seis and they are definitely showing the racing.

Do you know if te carpark will still be open during the carnival or does it close?
#122 by Marqueemoon on January 28, 2012 - 9:38 am
Yes it will be open. It closes for the feria which takes place on the car park – unless they move it this year. (There was talk of moving it in 2011 but they didn’t in the end)

Can anyone help?
I sold my studio on 12th January, 2011 (last year). Do I need to pay IBI for the year 2011 and if so, how do I find out how much it is and how do I get a bill?
I have been paying by direct debit from 2002 to 2010 . I need this to get the info about the valor catastral to pay tax on Form 210
#124 by GingerHound on January 28, 2012 - 9:56 am
As far as I know the IBI falls due to whoever owned the property on the 1st of January (which is the start of the tax year), so if you owned it on that date, you are liable. However normally when you sell/buy a property bills are all paid up to date and things like IBI are split pro-rata between the old and new owners – your gestor/abogado should have sorted that out at the time. You could go back to the new owner and ask for a contribution? If you have any doubts about what to put on your form you should ask your gestor or other suitably qualified advisor.

About 20 years ago, I was in Nerja for la noche buena. During the
week before that day, street vendors suddenly popped up all over town selling cheap drums with a dowel rod through the skin of the drum.
People would rub their hand on the dowel rod, and it would make a loud sound like a bull roaring. What do they call those drums?
#126 by Marqueemoon on January 26, 2012 - 1:06 pm
I think its called a Zambomba

What are the dates of the October festival in nerja this year. We want to make sure we are there for all 5 days?
#128 by Marqueemoon on January 25, 2012 - 1:57 pm
The exact dates have not been announced but will include 9th October which is a public holiday. Last year it was 8-12th and may well be the same this year. As soon as the dates are known MyNerja will announce them
#129 by gordon thompson on January 24, 2012 - 8:58 pm
thanks for letting us know – we’ll be there!!
#130 by gordon thompson on January 23, 2012 - 7:55 pm

#131 by GingerHound on January 23, 2012 - 8:02 pm
They should be – I just saw Ron out for a walk on his day off – I’ll ask him tomorrow.
#132 by GingerHound on January 24, 2012 - 7:24 pm
Yes, Buddys will be open on those dates. They may take a few days off for holiday in the run up to the season, but that will only be during the week, so Sunday lunch is go!
#133 by Marqueemoon on January 23, 2012 - 7:46 pm
Yes they will both be open. Have a good time!
