Balcon of Europe Nerja a must visit

The balcon of Europe

The Balcon of Europe Nerja a gorgeous balcony looking over the Mediterranean sea. Named the Balcón de Europa by King alfonso XII. A perfect spot for the for taking a photo of the sea with the  statue of the late king Alfonso XII in the background . It was actually King alfonso XII who actually named this the balcony of Europe. This was after the big earthquake that hit Nerja in 1884. Prior to this it was called “Paseo de la Batería” . The king on this visit “exclaimed this is the Balcón de Europa” and so the Balcon of Europe Nerja took its name.

Here you can take a stroll and also watch numerous artists (musicians, painters, jugglers) do their thing. Because it’s in the center of Nerja it’s a great spot to meet your friends or family. Here you can have an ice cream on one of the benches or in one of the many bars that surround this balcony.
