The Cantarrijan region is a short drive to the east of Nerja. Situated between the looming heights of Sierra de Tejeda and arguably the clearest waters on the Costa del Sol, it is the perfect spot for outdoor activities. The dramatic coastline is punctuated by old Moorish watchtowers, sweeping lookouts and hiking trails. Thanks to a fishing ban, the water teems with sea life. And if you feel like unleashing your inner naturist, the pristine shores of Playa Cantarrijan await.
