Villas in Nerja

Well known for its artisan ice cream, Nerja has many homemade ice cream outlets which can be enough persuasion to encourage kids to leave the beach! Dotted around the town itself are a number of well-maintained playgrounds, and the Spanish people love to see children out with adults, so taking your family to restaurants is always a positive experience.
