Family trip to Nerja with children. Ideas on where to go with your child

From Balcony The Spanish city of Nerja, the jewel of the Costa del Sol, is worthy of a visit both by adults and children. It is ready to provide families with a lot of pleasant entertainment for every taste. Apart from having many attractions to show (created by man and mother nature), the city creates all conditions for an active and relaxing pastime. The resort town's beaches offer kayaking, cruises, diving, and, of course, sunbathing and swimming in the waters of the Mediterranean Sea.

Go to Aquavelis Water Park if you're looking for a fantastic experience. Being quite a small complex consisting of 7 water rides, it is surprisingly spacious and cozy. Slides are designed for both the smallest and older children. There is a picnic area on-site, so don't forget to bring some food with you. It is worth noting that the park is very well maintained and clean, and going down the slides makes all kids scream and laugh. If the water park alone is not enough, head to Piscina Y Pabellón Cubiertos - a good place for swimming and playing sports.
In Nerja (or rather, in the vicinity of the city), you can find another water park called Aquatropic. The complex is equally well maintained and provides slides suitable for both children and parents. It is noteworthy that its pools are filled with seawater, and the water park itself is beautifully decorated in the style of a tropical paradise: taking sunbaths lying under palm trees brings an incomparable experience. Kids will be offered a lot of zones, including pools of different depths, interesting slides, and a playground. Copyright www.orangesmile.com

Kids will surely be thrilled with the opportunity to ride horses and ponies provided by Andale Centro de Equitacion. It'd be especially interesting to ride a horse through picturesque areas such as parks and beaches. The following beaches would be ideal for family leisure: Playa de Maro, Playa de la Cala el Cañuelo, and Burriana. The first one is famous for its beautiful views of the bay and wildlife striking everyone, from young to old, giving a special charm to the beach. Here you can go kayaking, pick up shells or soak up the Spanish sun.
Aquaduct Nerja Playa de la Cala el Cañuelo is a rocky beach attractive for its uncrowded atmosphere. Clean water and rocky sand, as well as the proximity to restaurants and cafes - these are just some more advantages of the beach. Playa Burriana is another family-friendly beach perfect for swimming and sunbathing. Besides that, it has a playground and opportunities for various entertainments - paddle boats, water skiing, kayaking.

It must be said that mother nature has generously endowed Nerja with many natural attractions. Together with the kids, it'd be fun to go down to the Cueva de Nerja - an amazing place that made the city famous. Many people remember it first of all at the mention of Nerja. This is a series of caverns stretching for about 5 kilometers. Ancient drawings of animals discovered inside are exactly what most tourists expect to find here. It is also noteworthy that the Festival Cueva de Nerja takes place in July in one of the halls where famous Spanish performers and dancers entertain the audience.
Balcon de Europa Not far from the cave is Jardín Botánico Detunda-Cueva de Nerja, another place worth visiting. You can come here to complete your acquaintance with the cave or before it. Many interesting specimens of plants and flowers grow in the garden, but every family member would be most exciting about walking around it. Well, Cascada de Maro Waterfall is often called an ideal place for dreamers. The landscapes strike the imagination, and don’t even ask about how they affect the youngest travelers. The only caveat is that all family members need to be careful and wear comfortable sports shoes to walk on steep slopes.

Among other things, it serves wonderful pizza and ice cream.
