From Top Homely, as a real estate agent based in the Costa del Sol, specifically in Nerja, we like to echo the news that surrounds this wonderful place and of which we are so proud. Nerja was awarded a few days ago as the 9th emerging destination on a global scale, by the "Travelers Choice Emerging Destinations", which is annually awarded by tripadvisor.

The merit of the small coastal city increases when we see in the list destinations such as Nairobi, Casa Blanca or San José, cities with hundreds of thousands of inhabitants, taking into account that Nerja has a sensuous population of 21,204 people. In spite of this, this amount is not representative of the number of people that are in every moment of the year in Nerja, because of the great influx of tourists that there are throughout the year, and especially different media publish, that in summer, this population quintuple.

Reasons why Nerja has become such a popular destination

Nerja was announced nationally by the renowned series "verano azul", which was issued in 1981, and was recorded entirely in the coastal town. Its beautiful landscapes, its beaches, and in short its natural heritage made many people interested in this destination.

In addition to this any of the images that we will leave you next makes that Nerja does not need its own presentation.

Its beaches: You can find from big beaches full with all kinds of services, where you can enjoy the summer atmosphere at almost any time of the year, to virgin beaches which are a natural place, where you can enjoy tranquility and its beautiful landscapes, even small coves where you can have more privacy.

Its gastronomy: The typical Andalusian gastronomy is well recognized in many places of the world, and the fact that Nerja has dedicated so many years to the tourist sector makes a great variety of food to satisfy even the most demanding clients. In one of the upcoming posts we will give you our tips and recommendations so you do not miss a detail in your stay in Nerja.

Nature: Whether you are a great lover of beaches or not, Nerja is still a place you want to visit. The mountain ranges that surround the town will make you enjoy incredible excursions visiting unique places with magnificent views and where, without a doubt, you can breathe fresh air and "live" nature. Let's not forget their rivers. The famous Rio chillar is a great recommendation as an excursion, and attracts thousands of tourists every year.

Spirit: Last but not least, we would like to highlight an aspect that is not taken into account at the moment of valuing Nerja, and which we think is key. Despite the great influx of tourists, Nerja continues to preserve its spirit of typical Andalusian village. It has not evolved like other coastal cities in Malaga towards overcrowding, but has maintained its essence during all these years, therefore it also provides great versatility in terms of tastes.

High return on investment: Without a doubt, it is one of the most profitable places to invest in housing in Spain. To this is added, that the holiday rental laws have not locked the activity in any way. The requirements that must be met are equivalent to a small investment and are intended for guests to have everything they need and feel more comfortable. If you have any questions, just ask us, but it is a topic that we will deal with in the next posts.
