The Nerja Caves

The Balcón de Europa

Nerja

Andalucia – Spain

As some of you may already know, the Balcón de Europa is a gorgeous balcony from where you can look over the Mediterranean sea. It’s one of the most popular places in Andalucía, a spot for the perfect photo of the sea, or a photo with the statue of the late king Alfonso XII who actually named this balcony after the big earthquake that hit Nerja in 1884. Back in those days here stood a watch out fort called “Paseo de la Batería” and the king shouted,fa “this is the Balcón de Europa”.

When you are in Nerja, don’t forget to visit the caves of Nerja.
