Marbella or Nerja?
 

Wife and I are going to Europe next spring.Wer'e spending few wks in Spain, one week in south. <BR>Any advice as to which of these towns to<BR>use for a base for a week in the south? thank you.

i work in travel and live in Spain and would consider Sevilla as a base, beauty ,history, near wine country and beaches mountains.

thanks daniel but we will see Seville as part of our tour but want to spend a week on the coast after the tour on our own - anyone? Nerja or Marbella? thank you.

Tough choice ! Nerja is lovely, but both Marbella and Estopona are better located for day trips.

BOB -which would you choose?

Hi Kent- I was in Nerja a few years ago and thought Nerja was a great little town. I would highly recommend staying there. It was charming and not overly crowded.

More to see in and around Marbella. Lovely old centre, beautiful marina at Puerto Ban&uacute;s, nice hotels and resorts, very touristy! More upscale than Nerja which is more family oriented. Lovely place though!<BR>

Brenda..were you there for a week?did you do daytrips? my wife likes to do little car trips not more than about an hour or hour 1/2 .

From Nerja you can easily visit the white village of Frigiliana, imo the most beautiful white village in Andaluc&iacute;a. Also Salobre&ntilde;a is not too far away.
