Capistrano Village
To the east of Nerja on the old coast road heading
towards Nerja Caves is Capistrano Village. Development
of this residential area has been going on for more than 30 years and now
includes properties rising high above the original holiday accommodation built
down near the coast road. Capistrano Village is so similar to a traditional
Andaluz village that a number of families have made it their full time home
which has created a pleasant balance between locals and visitors.
In terms of available
property for rent there's a fine selection ranging from
one bedroom maisonettes to three bedroom villas. Around Capistrano Village there
are several swimming pools (with lifeguards) including some designed
specifically for children. The garden areas throughout the village are
beautifully maintained and all year round you'll find flowers in bloom. There's
a small supermarket and a restaurant on site as well as a laundry, tennis courts
and a travel agency. The Cave Bar near the entrance is a good spot to meet up
with fellow holiday makers during their early evening 'happy hour'.
The walk into town or to Burriana Beach takes around 20 minutes but the hike
back up the hill can be a hassle so having a car is preferable. On the other
hand you can jump on the bus which heads back and to to the centre of Nerja
every hour.
A holiday at Capěstrano Village is ideal for families with young children and
for mature couples looking for a peaceful break. Before confirming a reservation
be sure to find out exactly where your property will be located as some holiday
agents don't make this clear. Capistrano Village is the original development
near the entrance and next to the main road. San Juan de Capistrano is much
higher up the hillside but it is more spacious with great views over Nerja and
more bars and restaurants but you'll want a car if you're staying here.
Oasis de Capistrano is modelled on Capistrano Village and is equally beautiful.
Whilst it does lie further out of town than the original development it has its
own access down to Burriana Beach and bus services into Nerja are frequent.
Capistrano Playa is a beautifully designed villa complex which is the closest to
the sea with direct access to Burriana Beach.
