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

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>

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.
