We recommend that you park your hire car and walk around in the village.<\/p>\n<p>You can reach many other parts of the Costa del Sol with relative ease from Nerja. A drive to the resort of Marbella for example is about 100 kms and should take no longer than 90 minutes.\u00a0 Or your could head for Sierra Nevada in Granada.<\/p>\n<p>If you are staying in Nerja with the kids and fancy heading for a theme park then the best place to aim for is Benalmadena. In Benalmadena you will find a selection of Theme parks and places for the kids to visit including Sea Life, Selwo\u00a0Marina and Tivoli World.<\/p>\n<p>Tivoli World will take you around 1 hour to drive to and is a typical theme park with plenty of shows, rides and things to do. Please note that due to the hot summer weather Tivoli World is open from 4pm &#8211; 3am in the summer.<\/p>\n<p>Also within easy driving distance of Nerja are the towns and resorts of Puerto Banus, Fuengirola, Estepona, Sotogrande and Malaga City itself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are staying in Nerja and fancy doing a little bit of exploring then why not hire a car at Malaga Airport and drive to Nerja?
