About Nerja

After your trip from Granada to Nerja, you will find yourself in one of the most picturesque coastal towns in the Andalucia region of Spain. The resort town used to be a quiet fishing village, but now draws thousands of visitors each year, aided by its proximity to the nearby city of Malaga.

The area is known for its resort-style amenities, including pristine beaches to relax on and a plethora of restaurants to choose from. The town is small and still fairly walkable today, but visitors should be prepared for some hills given the town’s location among the Sierras of Tejeda, Almijara, and Almara. The mountains offer a change of pace from beachgoing with plenty of hiking and rock climbing around the summit of “El Cielo”.

It’s important to pack comfortable walking shoes and bring a reusable water bottle with you to beat the summer heat while you explore. ## How to get from Granada to Nerja There are a few transportation options for your trip from Granada to Nerja including public transport and private car services such as Daytrip. The best option for you will depend on your priorities, but the private car transfer offers a balance of value and convenience that many travelers find worth it along these short-distance transfers. ### Bus from Granada to Nerja There is a direct bus from Granada to Nerja that takes around 2 hours and 45 minutes, dropping travelers off just outside of the center of town at Maro Empalme Bus Station. The bus tickets cost around $8-13. The departure timetables vary across bus companies. Certain buses do require a transfer to a second bus halfway through the journey, so try to avoid those. ### Train from Granada to Malaga, Bus to Nerja It is not possible to take a train trip all the way from Granada to Nerja, but you can take a train to Malaga first before boarding a bus to Nerja. This adds travel time and will cost more than simply taking a direct bus or other transportation method from Granada to Nerja. ### Private car transfer from Granada to Nerja The best option for many travelers is to opt for a private car transfer with Daytrip. It's the fastest choice, covering the distance from Granada to Nerja in only an hour and 10 minutes, with the added convenience of door-to-door service. This route is also fairly scenic, offering coastal views along the way and turning your travel day into a relaxing introduction to the region. You can even stop for sightseeing at places like the medieval Castillo de Salobrena, or Frigiliana, perhaps the prettiest village in the region. Plus, this is a great choice for those flying into the Granada or Malaga airport, as the private transfer is more flexible with scheduling than the public bus timetable, meaning you can customize your departure time to best suit your flight arrival time. Choosing a private car service also eliminates the hassle of renting a car to do the drive yourself. This journey starts at about $34 per person.
