Nerja, Spain

We took a bus from Granada to Nerja on Sunday, July 9th, after our first week of TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) class. Good thing we went, because we didn’t have a free weekend the rest of the month. Nerja is a small beach town along the Sun Coast. It was originally a Roman settlement and then controlled by Arabs. There is still a large Italian presence with numermous Italian restaurants and pizzerias. It's also known for its extensive cave system with primitive cave paintings.

There is a famous overlook in Nerja called the Balcony of Europe; the first picture is taken from there. Conincidentally, the first picture is of the topless beach. Now fellas, before you get too fired up, let me just say that it's not as glamorous as you may think. In fact, some of the older men could have used a bikini top. The one good development is that the speedo has gone out of fashion.
