I can bet

Let's hope noone built any illegal houses on the riverbank

I think they got washed away 2 years ago when they had the huge floods.

I understand it has happened in some other areas - the Junta planning department probably are responsible for the rain - less political than demolition orders

Something I shall bookmark for a little later in the year when the torrents have subsided

(I know the market site - is it signposted from there at all?)

The route isnt signposted as far as I can remember, we had to stop and ask someone the way to the quarry (cantera). We had to drive underneath the motorway bridge.

Here is a link with nice photos

Good luck!

Thank you - I'll let you know how we get on

EDIT: - just had a look at the link & I think it may be a bit much for me

Will still go to the start for a look!!

hi missbad i nearly brought a apartment in nerja but it came a close 2nd in my places to buy in spain as i decided to buy in the next small town la herradura ,i do love nerja the place is buzzing in the summer the night life is excellent + there is lots to do and you also have the excellent tutti frutti square which is excellent the only downfall is it has become so touristy .it is starting to become so busy in the summer and it starting to feel like all the other expat towns along the coast , what i find nice is i can escape from it all within a ten minute drive and im back in la herradura which i feel is the real spain very pretty with lovely scenery plenty of spainish people great water sports and a sleepy rural place and not many expats+ not to touristy la herradura is the place. But if you are looking for a place that is full of english people and full on non stop partying nerja is for you

If your in your sixties

Yes, " rodar "

" Rodar " in Spanish has several meanings, as so much verbs, then I was wrong

Thanks!

Nerja is certainly not just for the 'older generation'. There is a square called Plaza Tutti Frutti that is the centre of nightlife for the younger generation and the 'young at heart'. Here, and in the adjacent Calle Antonio Millon there are 20+ bars and discos that open from 9 ish until 3 or 4 am. The place is not buzzing until about midnight, and during the sumer months is still busy at 4am. It is really good to have all the noise in the one place and the rest of the town can rest. If you walk through the Plaza during the day nothing is open and it looks like a ghost town. In fact you would not recognise it as the same place at night when all the tables and chairs are out and coloured lights. Certainly worth a look if you are in Nerja late at night.

Sounds as if there is a bit of everything quietness if you need it but also a nightlife. Will make sure I have a good look at the area.
Does anyone know what the schools are like in the area?
Thanks x

I don't know about schools - but you may find this link to the foreigner's dept. useful for general info
